I finished charging my solar generators / power banks today, but it took me several days to charge the large one because of weather and the fact that the sun is lower in the sky now and there's fences and trees blocking the path. The sawhorses and boards helped get it done. I also got the apps installed for my two power banks and was able to set limits for charging / discharging which should help with long-term battery life.

As far as Argentina , according to AI 20 Million is about .000029% of the federal budget. That's split between currency exchange and a loan.

I've never heard of a country paying back a loan that we gave them. But I'm probably wrong.

In all respect you are wrong. Finland, UK, Heck wasn't that many years ago that Germany finished its debt to us from world war 2. The cash swap isn't a loan

Fair. With all due respect back, Argentina is no Finland or UK or even Germany. Although we don't really annotate anything by numbering worlds anymore, memory serves me correctly, it was a second world nation when I was studying such things.

Read 'your coffers', the New Mexico Way

Unfortunately that's just not true. If it was yours, you could control it. You can't. The money belongs to the state. This state belongs to the people and the people elect representatives who spend the money that the state has. The people have no control over The money or how it is spent. They only have control over who they elect.

Honestly, this is one of the barriers to happiness that I see a lot out in the world. People feign or believe they have ownership in something over which they have no control, and then become unbelievably unhappy when the resource or the thing or the concept is used in a way of which they do not approve.

I'm not saying you're unhappy Randy. I'm just saying that this is what I see in the world.
