We Chinese know how it worked out. Believe me, you guys don't need a repeat here no matter what you think of "Ivy tower left-elitism"

Agree. I worry the most about
Anti-intellectualism the most which, albeit not in lockstep, appears to not be mutually exclusive with the advent of conservative radical evangelism. Combined with increasing household debt and bleak economic prospects for years and decades to come also makes me worry about civil unrest and the breakdown of the fabric of society. I'm also Canadian so I share a pretty big border with those guys down south ..

Oh dear, what strategy is that? Then again .. $35k x 12 = $420,000 a year split between 3 people ($140K) doesn't seem like a lot, especially after taxes.. Now if it is scalable ..
