Canada has little national debt, but America is our biggest trading partner. I believe your observation of decline may provide some insight. Thank you. <br /><br />You may also find Gerald Celente's trend forecasts of value. He has a great track record, and mainstream media are now asking him for his opinion. www.geraldcelente.tk <br />Especially for those who live in the USA. <br /><br />-Sundeep.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-20719932285448869132009-08-22T04:28:58.250-07:002009-08-22T04:28:58.250-07:00Hi Ferfal, inflation is beginning in europe. Food ...Hi Ferfal, inflation is beginning in europe. Food is now packaged in smaller portions, the price remains the same.<br /><br />Could you tell us something about window grates in Argentina? In Germany there are essentially none at all. It is surely very tempting for burglars.<br /><br />Do you know how window grates are produced and how much they cost in Argentina?<br />If I buy some, what features would you recommend the grates should have?<br /><br />Thank you very much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-34679663596520429682009-08-21T17:48:46.146-07:002009-08-21T17:48:46.146-07:00I'm curious about something. I'm somewhat ...I'm curious about something. I'm somewhat of an architecture buff myself, although I never had the artistic ability to become an actual architect. One thing I've noticed is that in some places in the US, especially in the northeast of the country, construction in some places simply ground to a halt at some point, never to restart. I've been to places where 1950s houses are still on the outskirts of town, where the downtowns are still dominated by pre-1950 skyscrapers. When did construction of new buildings halt in Argentina? 2001? <br /><br />I was also wondering if the styles of houses show a marked decrease in quality after say the Peron years, if there was any building at all. Here in the US houses gradually got cheaper in both materials and design after World War 2, leading up to the very ugly houses built during the last boom, which had numerous quality problems. Are there places in Argentina, not just rural areas but cities too, where most "new construction" was mainly of shanties and not "real" houses after the Peron years? <br /><br />Do people tend to patch up older houses in makeshift ways, like they do in some parts of the US, especially rural areas? I've heard of people in rural Argentina who still drive 1930s era cars, because they never had the money to replace them. I assume that the same would go for houses, keeping the old houses and patching them and adding on. I was wondering if that happens in cities too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
