I actually know someone up there. You guys are falling for the bullshit. There are shitloads of 'regular' people there. The media, as usual, is cherry picking people to interview and film because people are willing to believe whatever the hell they air. They'd love for you to believe that the only protesters are jobless hippies and that's just not the truth.

Yeah. Better to support the tea party movement. So you can help get rid of any regulation so the CEOs of megacorporations can get even MORE ultrarich while downgrading your pay and sending your jobs overseas... Better to work really hard making someone else rich.

Or are you still all under the delusion that you're all going to become Mega-CEOs yourself?

For each of the idiots like these dolts that they choose to interview, there's 10 more behind them who are more moderate and who really are sick of the ultra-rich raping the rest of us while the brainwashed horde blows their message for them.

Here's hoping to this leading at least to a political movement. Something to balance out those moron teapartiers who don't even realize they've been completely co-opted by the billionare owners of corporations.

PS - Stern is a pile of ass rash.

Myth #5. China's Economy Is Going to Steamroll America's!

 

What You've Heard:

According to The New York Post, America already owes China so much money that China can destroy our economy whenever it wants. So if you're reading this from inside the United States, we hope you like the taste of steamroller, because you and everything you love is about to get steamrolled by China's economic steamroller. And thanks to the gap between Chinese super students and America's bumper crop of dumbasses, Americans probably need to be told that China's economy isn't an actual steamroller.

 

Actually:

The media tends to portray America like China's deadbeat brother-in-law who keeps borrowing money and promising he's good for it. But the truth is that China is far more dependent on the U.S. than the other way around. If they decided to pull the rug out from under the U.S., they'd be pulling it out from under their own economy.

As for China's educational superiority, it's definitely true that China kicks America's ass in educating its children, and they even produce more college graduates than America. It's just that their colleges suck. One Chinese professor said that the average Chinese engineering graduate may not know more than a typical auto mechanic.

 

From an early age, Chinese students are corralled into career paths based on test scores. A bad day in seventh grade might shut you out of entire industries. Unfortunately, the idea that childhood intelligence has anything to do with future success has been pretty much completely debunked.

The things that tend to matter are how hard you're willing to work at your job. And if it's some bullshit your seventh grade teacher decided you should do for the rest of your life, we're guessing that's only as fast as you can work while making the wanking motion with one of your hands.

 

But probably their biggest problem is something called the dependency ratio. It's a simple idea that is shockingly good at predicting economic success and failure. Basically, you put people who are of working age on one side of the scale and people who are too young or old to work on the other. The more the workers outweigh the babies and old people, the more your economy tends to thrive. For instance, America did great when the baby boomers were passing through their working years and is facing a slowdown now that they're retiring.

This ratio is also one of the main reasons China is kicking so much ass at the moment. There are so many working-age people that they had to put policies in place to keep them from having too many kids. You've probably heard of the one-child policy. An earlier public campaign cut China's fertility rate in half in the '70s. That was good for China's dependency ratio up to this point. That's half of a generation of useless, non-working babies off the books. But over the next 25 years, China is gearing up to age faster than any developing country ever. By 2035, 280 million Chinese will be 65 or older. Senior discounts alone will cost China billions.

 

So if you are working for China in 25 years, like the media predicted, chances are it will be at a nursing home.

person on the ground can still draw a gun

you don't know when you're in a fight if you've fractured a skulls or otherwise caused lethal or threatening injuries. all you know is "moving" or "not moving". Maybe you can see a broken bone, but not often.

Worst thing ever a dad has to handle is a seriously ill child, no matter the age. You both are definitely in our prayers!

Godsend good health.

That dude has a boner

iTunes and the App Store were pure genius.

Pure genius from a business standpoint, yes.

From a product/solution, far from it.

Its ironic that nearly everything Jobs criticized Adobe (Flash) for is patently true of iTunes. Bloatware, buggy, invasive, etc etc n so forth. Its a shit solution and everyone knows it. What was perfect about it? The timing: iTunes was pitched (to the recording industry) at precisely the moment they (the industry) was flailing about for a lifesaver to preserve their pyramid of production leeches' salaries. The 99cent pricepoint was astute business, I'll give you that. However, iTunes itself sucks donkey balls.

The app store, now, that was an elegant sales solution to a profit threat, and as such, was indeed genius.

Nice job Linnux (specifically Michael Robertson), for inventing that.

And you deem the above as a negative? You? Really? I doubt it will be another release of a new product. I could see perhaps a Steve Jobs Edition of some sort. What that looks like I don't know. Just saying....

Did I say it was a negative? Its a good move on the company's part. They know how to make money.

$100 says the iPhone5 ad campaign includes something about it being "Steve's last project".

You know that biatch is readyfor market. They knew he'd kicked the bucket too close to the announcement timeframe, hence: iPhone 4S

Give it 6months then magically the 5 will come out........ way to defer some earnings from the cult, Apple. Kudos.

Just Passed 80,000 miles on the V. Does the LS6 timing need adjusted?

Feels like its developing some rough/vibration spots in the rev band, but that could be my imagination that its the engine: it only seems to happen when its in gear and under load, ala highway driving.

FYI - my rear diff had been serviced years back, not for the vibe/explosion issue on these cars but a leaking seal.

Think the vibe might just be the Tremec? This is the first T56 I've had up to these many miles, but those trannies are never smooth. Been gnarly in every car I've had one in.

...but yeah back to the original question: do I need to start thinking timing yet?

Good riddance, sleazebag.

The world will briefly miss your innovation.

Unfortunately there's no shortage of the kind of douchebaggery with which you lived your life and treated the people around you, so that won't be missed at all.
