    oh really? and where are these people hundreds of miles from your higher paying jobs supposed to go? are you saying they should sell their $45K house and move near a city with the $450K houses like you have? spend $5000 on training? oh yeah, get the free scholarship that covers room and board for a college hundreds of miles away..right, everyone who applies gets that.

  4. NO!

    this is something else. Precession of earth does not change the location of the pole as we see it on earth, precession is change of orientation of rotational axis in relation to space, in other words where the pole points.. Earth axis in relation to space goes in 25,772 year cycle and ends up pointing to same place in space it did before

    But this movement I mention changes where the pole is located on Earth (precession doesn't)

    there are definitely $45K houses in rural Illinois on country roads around areas such as effingham, decatur, bellivile... looking at them in listings right now. I have relatives down there.

    So you paid $400K for your house, must be very nice. close to big cities will do that kind of pricing...

    but far from those huge cities it's another world, and there are things about that life that are better than what you and I face.... much less pollution, stress, crime, traffic jams etc. People starting to telecommute from those kinds of places, a few people at my work do

    it's a slashdotter stereotype about basement.

    as for saying it had to be poor choices, plenty of places in rural america near town that has the usual wallmart etc. where $15 an hour is just fine and not much else available. Just think, houses there might be $45K and so are cheaper for them than for you in relation to wages.
