A friend of mine is on a fixed income that he receives in US funds, but is living in Canada, which means that everytime he has to exchange currency, he's increasingly losing money.

What can he (or any US citizen) do to avoid losing money?

With the fiasco of "Northern Rock" in the UK and the prime lending furore in the US, do you not think that our whole economy is a house of cards?
Is the Stock Exchange not anything more than a glorified bookmakers?
Wasn't the the great depression caused by pumped up greed and then loss of confidence?
I'm not saying that we should go back to the barter system, but it would at least ensure a more equitable, solid system, or not?
Can't we do it any better, or must avarice always lie at the heart of an economics?

I've used this section or category because after all food is "health". I've been really wondering what's going to happen to world food supply in the event that 'etanol' use succeeds. For example in South Florida early this morning the first "etanol" pumps were inaugurated. Eighty-five percent being etanol and rest gasoline.

Couple of months back there was a crisis in Mexico due to the government's increase of corn price, apparently because much more is being used for etanol. It is so ironic that only a few years back here in the USA, many farmers were suffering because they had to dump their "unwanted" corn.

Am I being pessimistic to think we're going to be deprived pretty soon of many foods. By the way this apparently is a direct cause of the hike in price for all milk products. At least that's what I read about a month ago.

If you have an idea for a business to create jobs in a poor area is there a way to equalize opportunities so the most people possible can better their economic situation? This would be a small biz startup but with the possibility of growth. Is it feasible/desirable to target the poorest group for employment, to move them to the next level of economic independence?

First, answer the question please.

In addion, this seems to coincide with a book I read, where 85% of the world lives below the mark or mentality to maintain self-sustainability.

If anyone has ever read Power vs. Force by David Hawking, you know what I'm talking about.
