You know it just doesn't matter. They are going to do it anyway, and everybody will keep on believing their denials and reelecting the same old politicians who make it all happen. Nothing changed in '75 either, when we went through all this same shit before.
It may seem illegal, but it doesn't seem to matter. The voters are letting it slide...
You ever watch Professional Poker on ESPN? I think one of the coolest things is to see the players, athletes, if you will, smoking cigars during a match. You don't see that in too many sports. Well, maybe football... You get my drift, right?
Why? Doesn't anybody understand who they work for? I, for one, fully expect this. In fact I would be surprised if they didn't do what they are doing. It is the voters who abdicated their responsibility to oversee their government. Democracy is high maintenance. It is not *set it and forget it* for two years.
I think the red herring is the 'increased production'. It never happened. Prices are set arbitrarily, just like interest rates. And we all know how well Libor handles that little business. To think that petro/dollar rates are set any different is totally naive. The whole 'supply and demand' thing is a complete fantasy outside the itty-bitty local market.
Looks like you haven't figured out who the politicians serve. Greedy, lying, clever, conniving little rats with illusions of grandeur, absolutely, the only stupid ones are those that lose, or get caught. They don't need to 'know' anything. The lobbyists tell their aides (they all carry their own stories) who tell them who to speak with and how to vote.
I hate it when you people say that! They have their orders. They understand perfectly well what they are doing. It is the voters that are ignorant and stupid and thus blindly follow them. And in that ignorance it is the voters that give value to the campaign dollar. The politician is not the idiot here.
I suppose that's interesting, but considering the subject matter maybe not so much. Now, if it had been a 60 year old, I would have found it disturbing. Anyway, the kid found a very good excuse to read lots of comics.
Glad there's more choices, and no, I don't feel like I'm throwing my vote away.
No, you are not throwing your vote away, the people who vote republican/democrats are. Actually they are selling their votes, to the glitziest promises. It is the voters who support big money, by voting for big money candidates over and over.
No joke... Scarcity is nothing but the result of a dispute over the price. Or maybe you weren't around in '73 or '79. Or maybe you didn't follow the Enron thing. It's simple manipulation. Why would you doubt such a thing? Because they deny it? And you believe them? Eh, your choice. But you only show that you are the one that's out of touch.
The article I linked to was a facetious but factual analogy of how it's done. Scarcity is artificially created. Using the media to create a panic or a rush is nothing new. None of it belies the fact that the Stock Market is a scammers paradise, again pumping up junk bonds.... POP!
Man, it's faith based (you might have to go through google), and one of the best 'new' scams in the business. It could even cause the expected burst this fall or next summer. Great stuff.

An 'emergency order' will extend the rule until Congress comes back from a very well deserved vacation from their hard work :-/
Call your bookie.
Turn off the equipment, and take up knitting...
Public relations... What was everybody expecting?

If we made it illegal to be stupid, where would we find politicians?
If we made it illegal to be stupid, who would be left to vote for them?
...perhaps restricting such tools will mean that certain critical vulnerabilities may not be discovered in time, or not reported.
Well yes, that is the idea. Reporting these kind of things will become illegal (for an example how it's happening in meatspace)
The US I grew up in during the 1960s/'70s is dead.
Oh, thank god! Who wants to relive Johnson/Nixon? And look what it gave us, the 80s, and he *who shall not be named*!
Once again lawmakers don't understand the issue.

Ah, but this time it's different!
That was my first thought. *Wow, I've never seen anybody jump that high before!*
Know how to work a plunger, kid? You're hired!

Just follow the path of least resistance.

I'm not talking about the pundits. The ones who set policy are who the media serve.
Ah, but the science of economics is knowing how to successfully exploit the human response to scarcity, usually by creating some

Planes are faster bro, even with loading/unloading time, which is why they can actually make money on their own...
Very funny!
