I am always looking for evidence that I was right about something, which is so gratifying because I am usually so wrong about everything. So I was delighted with the new silverminers.com site when I ran across the very interesting article titled, "Silver Sanitizes Municipal Garbage Trucks" by Samuel Etris at The Silver Institute.
Its not that being called "human garbage" by my own family so many times necessarily makes me curious about garbage trucks, but here is a new use for silver, which makes me happier that I am buying all this silver!
Anyway, an outfit called T.P. Technology has come up with "a silver-copper sanitation system" to clean garbage trucks, which was, like I said, mostly interesting from the perspective of a guy, namely me, who thinks that silver is so insanely cheap in comparison to its wealth of benefits; and its sudden shortage in supply makes me say that anybody who is NOT buying silver is some kind of stupid lowlife slug who is, apparently, just waiting for me to come along and tell them, "Hey! Moron! Buy silver bullion right now, or that will prove that you are a stupid lowlife slug, and which probably explains why your kids are stupid and slug-like, too!" just to get the juices really flowing.
But do they ever thank me? Do they ever say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, oh, Wise And Wonderful Mogambo (WAWM) for telling me how stupid I am for not buying silver and gold right now!"?
No! They do NOT say things like that to me! Instead, they say mean, hurtful things to me, and they somehow made the faucet in the bathtub start leaking, drip, drip, drip just to be spiteful and drive me crazy. And now the water heater is acting weird, too!
In case you were wondering, I also take a keen interest in garbage trucks now that I am getting older at the same time as my wife and family are saying, every time they see one, "Hey! Daddy! There's your future hearse! Hahaha!" And if I ask, "Why would you be so hateful and disrespectful to your dead father or husband?" They answer, "You know why!" and I have to admit that I can think of about a million reasons why, and so I don't ask them about it anymore.
The article notes that "Garbage trucks accumulate huge colonies of bacteria," which I don't think anyone would dispute if you have ever been in your car stuck in back of one, in heavy traffic, on a warm day, and everyone in the car is saying, "Phew! What a stink! Is that you, Mogambo?" and you say, "No! It's the garbage in truck in front of us that smells so bad!" and then they all start chanting, "Mogambo stinks! Mogambo stinks!" over and over until you finally snap, which leads to that whole emergency room thing and the cops asking all those questions.
Anyway, those bacteria and those trucks are dangerous to "operators and drivers who may inhale water droplets infected with maladies such as Legionnaires Disease", which is bad enough, (but very interesting from a nuisance lawsuit perspective!), but it gets worse when you learn about "Airborne Microbes" in your " Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems (HVAC) ducts", which sounds like another ripe legal area.
The good news is not only that I don't own any public facilities that have garbage disposal or HVAC liabilities, but also that both of these nightmares are solvable by silver, which is already in less supply than the demand can satisfy, and it fixes them both by killing over 99% of the nasty crap that is in, or on, them!
And, perhaps even more important from influencing the supply/demand ratio on the demand side, let's not forget the new silver-zinc batteries, which are apparently superior in every way to every other battery in the whole world or something.
As you would expect, none of this means anything at all to me because I am a really stupid guy, except for the part where the demand for silver is going up at the same time as the supply of silver is going down, which has made a profound impression on me.
You do the math because it gives me headaches when I try to do it, but I think it means to me that you and I should buy some more silver. And if you won't, then at least I will, and you can wish you had! Hahaha!
