I know this is not on topic but then again it might be. How do you create a 'flow' in a stagnant economy such as you described in which most of the wealth and the power is concentrated in the hands of a few. Interestingly too, a lot of this money is spent in such economies as americas' as this people have a penchant for sending their kids here to be educated, get their healthcare here and so on. I ask because I'm thinking of moving to a third-world country soon and I've been thinking about the issues and what one might proffer as solutions in discussions. Most of them in this particular nation don't see a way out.
Cause it does make a difference sometimes. I don't support overtaxing(beyond whats necessary to keep the wheels of society turning) the rich to help the undeserving who aren't willing to get off their ass. However I'm mindful of the fact that in a lot of cases if you're coloured you have to work 3 times as hard to get noticed or given your chance at the same table. I don't begrudge anyone for their success and I don't believe in affirmative action (at least not in the way its structured), but the reality is when you're educated and you don't get a fair chance it hurts and your nephews and nieces see that and sometimes get the impression that whats the point and the circle you as a person were trying to break away from gets perpetuated.
In other news....RFID chips are being attached to speed limit signs/stop signs/traffic lights/billboards to notify the black boxes of legal speed limits and other road regulations.
Same thing happened to me. In my own case NJM said I wasn't eligible since I moved to the U.S. about 3years ago (just before sept 11) and I hadn't been driving for 3yrs in the us. I cancelled my insurance immediately once I switched to Geico (dropped by $600 with the switch) besides the fact that the application process was very web/user friendly, which is not what we're used to in Jerzy. Now liberty mutual deducted my monthly premium this month and the customer service rep I spoke with told me they bill in arrears, to which I asked what my billing cycle was and was told that I'm billed from the 15th of one month to the 14th of the next. I then asked her that shouldn't the deduction have been half since I cancelled halfway into the billing cycle. Apparently she didn't understand math, cause we kept going in circles until I dropped the phone out of frustration. Either that or she had been told to never tell a client that they would be refunded. Jersey insurance sucks!

Canadians leave their doors open so we have no precedents unlike some southern neighbours we know...
