Sandmen + Lifeclock crystals is the way to go.
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

Autos equal hard working, union dues paying, real Americans. Banker equals rich whitey asshole.

Or, more specifically, you can't win the Presidency without some combination of Pennsy, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan.

Roughly 60% in agreement with this...http://www.economist.com/node/21547789
(Also, I'm still digesting the document, but I'm loving the Occupy the SEC letter and document responding to the Volcker Rule, so far)

Dodd-Frank makes it difficult for smaller local banks to stay in business. Gives the bigs more power.

Re: Florida State Seminoles
Difference is that banks have the ability to pay it back and GM doesn't. I'm ok with making the banks pay if the funds are set in a fund for future bailouts, but not for general budget.

Re: Florida State Seminoles
Yeah, but you know that would never happen. At best, the fund would be raided with a series of IOUs inside of it...much like states currently do with their pension requirements.
Good interview with the Occupy SEC people, laying out some basics of the doc

Re: Florida State Seminoles
GM just posted an annual profit of $7.6B. That wont be very far off the number that the big banks show for 2011.

Re: Florida State Seminoles
It's all political though, a bank earns that and its all going to line the pcokets of greedy assholes in highrise condos while GM is carefully putting that money aside for hard earned pensions earned by true americans (nevermind that far more Americans probably work in white collar jobs dependent on banks and the financial industry in general)

And that's exactly the problem! I've got an idea: Workers of the world unite!

What would the workers do? Overthrow their already communist leadership in Beijing?

Re: Florida State Seminoles
They will not make that in the years ahead. They are thanking God for the tsunami giving them a jolt in sales this year, but they still have cost issues. My opinion, they were better off going to Chap 11 so they could restructure labor and pension costs to a more competitive level.aTm wrote:GM just posted an annual profit of $7.6B.

Re: Florida State Seminoles
DEY TUK OUR JEBS!!!!
Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.
