What size is the printer? I don't particularly like the design but that's not
me. Wonder about the utilities and how they are run. Concrete buildings have
always been cold, hard, damp structures. Wonder about the cost and utility
costs compared to conventional construction. According to the article the
country needs all the housing. Babies, immigrants, what?

Immigrants. White folks aren't holding up their end of the stick. The US
as we knew it will go out with a whimper.

They've been saying that about immigrants since the second European
arrived in North America.

The only constant is change. All we can do is manage it; we can't stop it.

And the vast majority complaining about "immigrants" are less than 4
generations from being immigrants themselves. VERY FEW less than 8 or
9. (I'm 8th generation in Canada, 9th in N America, 10th in the
Netherlands and 12th in Germany)

I've never understood that either. It's like when kids build a tree house
or a snow fort and the first job is to make sure no one else can come in.
It makes no sense to me.
My ancestors on one side left Berne Switzerland in 1653 for Speirs
Germany, and from therte to Zweibrickrn in 1672 - and then to
Kennerlanf Holland in about 1695 and from there via England to
Pennsylvania in 1736. They left for Canada in 1807.

The other side of the family left Zimmerberg Switzerland in1449 to
Wydenbach and Kuhweile and Horgenberg / Ober Durenmoos and from there
to Rotterdam and about 1707 to Pennsylvania. and to Ontario in 1819
I'm the 7th generation in Canada on both sides

They were forced to move in Europe because they were Anabaptists and
came to North America for freedom and to Canada for land and
opportunity.

Are the ones in PA the pretzel makers?
They are all over the USA now - early on they went to Ohio -and
Michigan and Wisconsin - pretty much across Canada and the USA

I was just inquiring because there is quite a few business' with the Snyder
name in them, Snyder Rd, etc.


We were / are an industrious bunch!!!
