The Chinese (Web Servers) Are Coming
Glyn Moody writes "The February 2009 Netcraft survey is not the usual 'Apache continues to trounce Microsoft IIS' story: there's a new entrant — from China. 'This majority of this month's growth is down to the appearance of 20 million Chinese sites served by QZHTTP. This web server is used by QQ to serve millions of Qzone sites beneath the qq.com domain.' What exactly is this QZHTTP, and what does it all mean for the world of Web servers?"
I don't know why you're being modded "flamebait" (okay, yes i do).
Have people really got their heads that far up their ass? Look around you. Look at what Obama is doing. Every time that this guy gets on the television the stock market takes a nosedive. The "economic stimulus bill" that he passed is one of the most absurd, destructive, ridiculous things in the history of the American Economy.
So...what is he doing? I mean...not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, hill-dwelling, gun-hoarding psycho here, but if you were going to set yourself up as the dictator of a socialist nation, what would you do?
He got lots and lots and lots and LOTS of support during the election. People fell in love with him. People had an almost religious experience. They were so completely and utterly devoted to anything Obama that he could do no wrong in their eyes.
Then...only a few WEEKS after he gets into office he starts mucking about in the Economy. An economic stimulus bill that almost deliberately nearly a trillion dollars on failing projects. Why? Why would he do that?
Then, during a recession mind you, he decides to INCREASE taxes!? That is one of the most batshit insane fucking things a person can do!
Okay....well then we start seeing things like the "fairness doctrine" popping up. Sounds like a great way of censoring people that don't agree with you, wouldn't you say?
Okay, guys...I promise, I usually poke fun at the people "wake up sheeple!" types, but seriously? Is ANY of this stuff explainable? WTF is going on? What motivation could there possibly be for pretty much everything that he has done if NOT to intentionally drive our country into a crisis?
NewslilySocial News. No lolcats allowed.
He cut taxes, where's the increase you're babbling about? Specify a real, legitimate link. Why are the republicans so mad about this when Bush gave billions to the financial and car industries anyway (talk about failing projects...)?
The right to protest the State is more sacred than the State.
None of that answers the original post that said he raised taxes. You can have your own opinion on trickle-down economics, but that isn't related.
However, you should consider that giving a tax cut to consumers means they will spend money, and they will give the money (in theory) to those which are best equipped to survive, and those businesses will therefore be able to cut jobs.
In any case, giving tax breaks to rich people, rather than corporations, is not the right way to do it. I don't see any millionaire CEOs creating jobs out of their own pocket. They didn't get their millions by writing checks.
