It's brutal giving the "facts" but you are much more accepting than the rest of us, especially since there is nothing we can do about it but complain! I do envy your calm demeanor
In referring to [MENTION=11610]CPRich[/MENTION] there, you simply are showcasing that [MENTION=11610]CPRich[/MENTION] is accepting what cannot be changed. Everyone is welcome to complain incessantly about possible changes, inflation, and devaluation that may or may not happen. [MENTION=11610]CPRich[/MENTION] has decided wisely that such complaints are worthless, since it’s all going to be what it’s going to be, regardless. Also, people are wildly speculating about devaluations without actually knowing if they, in fact, will happen.

People can accept the changes or people can complain and be bitter about the changes. Either way, there will be the same changes, regardless. I’d think acceptance is wiser since the alternative accomplishes nothing.

I have disagreed many times in the past with [MENTION=11610]CPRich[/MENTION]. But I couldn’t agree more with him now.
