Ridgecrest CA is a nice clean town and has the lowest real estate prices in California. We do have a few weeks of real heat in the summer. September to June is lovely.

Fruit trees ( and nuts as well) are investments that keep on giving. Give someone a piece of fruit and that person has a snack; help someone plant a fruit tree and the whole neighborhood eats for decades.

I'm sure you think you're funny but, frankly, your humor escapes me. I seriously doubt you would write about quantum mechanics or neurosurgery and expect people to take you seriously but there's a disturbing belief among everyone with a pulse that they're qualified to discuss economics or finance when they don't know what they're talking about. I guess it's because it feels tangible to them but, seriously, your article was nonsense. Please stop.

Get a bicycle. You can outrun anyone on foot, and keep going once the gas runs out and/or there's massive gridlock

Hey, I've got a great idea! Instead of telling her she's wrong and shut up, how about you tell us all why you think she's wrong and what you believe what is correct. That way you won't sound like a pompous ass.

Yeah, teach me economics in a blog post. Did you stop to think how stupid that sounds before you posted it?
