please stop saying that goldman, morgan stanley, boa, jpm chase, etc, somehow have 'their own money'.
without TARP, none of those companies would exist. they all took money either directly, or one-degree of separation, from the government to keep themselves alive, and living in nice walled communities, and going to nice restaurants for lunch, and having their nice careers and their nice cars and their nice little lives,
while millions of other people are moving back with their parents, learning to love ramen, giving up on college, losing their savings, moving to low-rent ghetto apartments full of drug dealers and criminals, etc etc etc.
i admit i have no evidence for my statement, other than 1. industry PR and 2. the only non-BPA canned beans are an organic brand,,, but its organic so the price difference could be the organic-ness not the bpa-free-ness
are not going to care about BPA.. they are too worried about how to buy any food at all.
(note inside of cans is lined with BPA and prices WILL GO UP if it is changed. go up as in, consumers will stop buying it because the main point of buying it is low price and speed of preparation)
they will put it right up there with 'hurting our GDP growth, endangering our stranglehold on political power, and destroying the economic power base of the Party leadership'
uh huh.
if the US said 'we cancel all your treasury securities' it would be effectively the US defaulting on a couple hundred billion dollars worth of debt. when you default on your debt, your 'credit rating' goes to crap and nobody wants your currency anymore. the middle east could move oil off the dollar if China wanted them to, think if China was a bigger customer than the US was, why wouldn't they just move oil to sell in Euros or RMB?
secondly, what if they just decided to short the US dollar and liquidate their treasuries at the same time? why not?
some of the finest people in history have been shitcanned and blackballed for simply saying the truth, no matter how politely, professionally, or curteously they did it.
yes, thank you, upper middle class white man, for telling me how hard the world is. i am glad someone like you finally woke me up about how tough and gritty reality really is.
sorry, but 40 hours of training on ms access and excel macros would make most people 'the office hero'. i dont know what the point of college is, but it sure as hell isnt learning to use a tool by reading a book for a week, especially not a tool that probably wont exist in 3 years or will be totally changed (like all those visual basic 6 gurus)
"well, i mean, i have submitted the form like 3 times to 3 different people. one said they would get back to me. the other said it was in process. the third one said they had approval but they got fired last week"
"wow, thats... ok. so wh... so how do we get it documented.... "
(interrupted by someone else coming in) 'hey did you guys get the memo about the server migration, we all need to be off at 3.07 and jim... i need you to brief me on this change you made... tom can i get that report on the thing you were working on last week?

people who work in those places keep hot things away from the flammable things. unless you want the standard of what 'a reasonable person would assume' about laptops to be modified so that they are banned in basically every area of public life (including the mail, UPS, and fedex), then perhaps you might want to reconsider your theory.
you troll! how dare you criticize the greatest nation on earth, americuh! next i suppose you will say that slashdot had some script called 'bitchslap' and that moderators dont always make the best decisions!
since you can have one person running everywhere doing everything, instead of a few people sitting around waiting for the phone to ring.
i used to be on this crew and i was the only person at night who had access to the 'elevator reset' code. of course, both elevators got stuck at the bottom of a 600 foot shaft while i was out doing something 'out of reach' of communications equipment and nobody knew where i was, despite the several hundred bucks they had spent on pagers and other stupid BS.
the answer, logically, would be to have two people at night. or, technologically, to have a bunch more transmitters everywhere communicating information all over the place.
we all know that in the slashdot of university life, there are many a troll who need to be modded -1 flamebait, and have their karma changed to 'bad' for certain 'indicator' acts. such as:
posting gibberish, posting rude comments, posting things that disparage linux and the open source movement.
The FBI is just trying to improve the 'signal to noise' ratio on university campuses.
if only we had a uniform culture! like the brits.. with the peaceful irish/british/scottish relationship and single culture, and of course london with every language on the planet but we can ignore that... then of course switzerland, which speaks 3 languages.....
the USA, the most prosperous country in the history of the world, of course... and also the most diverse. but no.
that will just teach them to be lazy welfare cheats.
let them pull themselves by their own bootstraps, and caption all their own video.
i suppose next you are going to want to make all video 'full screen' for people with bad eyes! thats what you liberals do, tax and spend and waste the money of the hard working to benefit the slovenly lazy whiners that undermine our fatherland... i mean.. uhh.. yeah. i mean our.. uhm, homeland.. no no no i mean, our great country of freedom and uhh yeah.

no damn lawyers getting in the way of von braun, he coulda been on the moon by '48 if those darn americans hadnt stopped them
biometric IDs = garbage. the only 'security' is personal familiarity with your coworkers and your staff, everything else is fakable bs.
i go to the grocery store, that is where my food comes from. silly asians.
then again, who cares what that old fart had to say
