  1. Re:Bad assumptions on $30B IT Stimulus Will Create Almost 1 Million Jobs · · Score: 1

    Both need to be done. But strong safeguards need to be set up to ensure that this money then stays in America, and continues the economical feedback loop that has been so badly broken by all the offshoring. Without it, we are draining our economy into the waiting mouths of other countries.

    We, at least temporarily, need some strong nationalism to get our economy back on track.

    Any executive that is trying to make a quick buck by siphoning more money to another country needs to be quickly taken out and shot. That mindset is what has been eroding America.

    We can get back to saving the rest of the world after we've saved ourselves. Otherwise we're all gonna starve.

    In this new day, from now on, everyone is required to use fully descriptive terms when using the word "Liberal".

    Do you hate legal liberals (People who want to make lots of new laws), economic liberals (People who throw lots of money at things, like bankster bailouts), or social liberals (Live and let live types)? Or some other kind of format("{0} liberals", [Descriptor])?

    Liberal alone means nothing to most of us. In the words of Elisa: "Come, Come. Elucidate."

    Please repeat your measurement, starting the comparison to last THURSDAY's closing price. Not Fridays close to yesterday's close.

    Any company that has to take out a loan to pay their bills is already on a downward spiral and the quicker that company goes bankrupt, the better.

    Us Americans are fucking sick of the constant political scare tactics. How many of us are even LOOKING to take out a loan right now? Not many.

    Main Street "don't get it" because there hasn't been any real information to digest. Just a bunch of rich fuckers angry about the fact that the market is insisting on a downwards transfer of wealth. They've sucked the turnip dry. The way prices have been going up on everything, the normal taxpayers have nothing left to give if they still want to be able to feed their families. Survival always comes first. Survival of true beings will always win over the survival of fictitious life forms.

    Any non-megarich person in favor of this bullshit bailout scam is voting for their own demise. Have to water the crops once in a while. Trickle down economics was always a lie, and tthat lie has now been publicly demonstrated.

    Unfortunately, you greatly state the truth. Lets pray that network latency from far-away countries saves us. But even if, with enough demand, they'll run buttloads of high-speed fiber between here and there. So basically this is a big move to steal more jobs from the country that invented the Internet.

    But hopefully (hopefully not too hopefully), the people got a taste of their own power when they stood up against the asinine bailout bill yesterday - and WON!! This could be all the people needed was a little encouragement from a victory and then seize the reigns of this out of control country once again!

    And the sky didn't fall - think about it - the stock market climbed 800 points on Friday on anticipation of this "sure to pass" bailout^Wsteal-from-the-middle-class bill, then dropped 700 points yesterday in the stunned shock of the citizens standing against it. Yet today, it climbed up almost 500 points. So instead of the economy slamming to a stop, it has risen (800 - 700 + 500) almost 600 points in the last four business days. Don't fall for the bullshit - Paulson was just trying to declare himself the world's emperor.

    Excellent point!

    There were two companies that did layoffs recently where I live that told their outgoing employees the same curious thing: It's not the economy.

    Nebraska? Competitive? Sheee-it. This state has its collective heads up its ass when it comes to competing with Iowa.

    Especially with most of the population living in Omaha, which sits along the state line. Iowa has cheaper gas by nearly 20 cents at times, due to Nebraska's extortionate gas taxes, which just went up three cents a few weeks ago, just as gas was crossing the $4 mark. Iowa has casinos, Omaha doesn't. Millions of dollars flow across the river from Nebraska all the time. It's fuckin stupid.

    I think it would be much more diligent to make sure and look for the actual meaning here. You could do a lot of good for the world if you just realized that.

    If the tangentials of the argument do not agree in your favor, then perhaps you should take a separate approach.

    I guess I need to put more emphasis on the "Double down arrow" button on the page - that expands all replies. (The right most button of the four buttons right at the bottom of the parent message.)

    Also, the two "double up" and "double down" arrow buttons that show on the right side of each message subject will expand the current message as well as all it's children. That way you only have to expand threads that look interesting.

    Like I said, I need to add more to it, but I think it works pretty cool for what it does at this point.
