Emergency Gear To Carry In Your Car
My last stop was the gas station. I did have half of a tank of gas but I knew I would need more before this weekend. The gas station was open and selling gas for $3.56 a gallon. I filled up anyways. Maybe the station was closed earlier because the tanker truck for our area was late or maybe the gas stations were updating something with the pumps. Whatever the reason, it was a normal Tuesday morning.
American CEO's often make 300 to 400 times the salaries of their workers. Is this too much? European and Canadian CEO's make about 20 times the salaries of their workers. Is this better?
I was home from college on holiday vacation and working at the business with my dad. On the morning of Christmas Eve a customer of my fathers, a truck driver, came into the electronics store and purchased from my father our low end, leader black and white 19" diagonal television. A sale we lost $10 on. I asked my father why he did not sell the customer up to a model we made a profit on. He told me that the customer was a good truck tire customer, we also had a tire store, whose business was not doing very good at the time and in fact the man was delivering freight to the west cost over Christmas to make extra money and catch up on his bills. He then instructed me to deliver the television to the man's home after we closed at 6pm. Plus the television was a surprise for his wife and 4 children.

This kind of idea seems better to me than merely stealing money from the rich with higher taxes. Give the money to the people, not the government. Plus, it's not a giveaway. The workers buy their shares.
Again, what about the Apprentice factor? What would you be willing to do to earn 300 to 400 times what you are making now? Would you work nights and weekends? Would you try to be innovative? I think the answer is yes. You'd be willing to work your tail end off. Which is what happens. A worker in a communist country usually doesn't work very hard because there's no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It doesn't matter how hard they work, so why should they exert themselves more than is necessary to just survive?
Saloonkeepers, blacksmiths and merchants were just as excited as the miners about Cedar Creek's potential. The new residents of Louisville, Mugginsville, Cedar Junction and Lincoln City watched with glee as these entrepreneurs ambitiously opened for business. Mining camps arose and were abandoned quickly as the focus of placering shifted around the district. The Helena Daily Herald reported on March 3, 1870 that, "Louisville had 680 houses; Cedar Junction 91. Wages are $4 - $5 a day." "Louisville . prospecting is . running as high as $1.250.00 a pan.
A pup tent, is a very small tent. It is made by pitching two vertical poles apart from each other, attaching a rope at the top of those poles, and then covering the rope with fabric. Guy rope is then attached to the bottom edges of the fabric, and pulled outward to form a resting area inside.
