    End NASA, silly Mars stuff and all US space programs = Solves US Economy problems

    While China, India and various up and coming countries going for space program, here we have people suggest to ditch NASA. This is actually sad. Go after Al-Quada and ditch the iraq war. At least, we need to cut its cost. Frankly, we can't afford it for whatever minimum security gain we...

    Pain & Pleasure

    It is funny that the investment banker is angry being laid off. Isn't investment bankers are the one that put together deals for cost cutting or cost of scale reasons? Even better, the $400,000 middle manager said that if she doesn't have the money, she has nothing else to boost her...

    Also, you might not noticing this. I already see tension between US and China during the mid-air collision of warplane near south-china in 2001. Just that Al-Quada did China a favor by taking the center stage as US enemy No.1. Longer term, whether you are American or Chinese citizen...

    How not to do business in China

    That's is probably true. Same in China and same in Japan. All countries have bigots and you have to learn to accept it. You should look at what happen when Japan raise up in the 70s and being the 1st Asian country to do that. The racial tone is way harsher than now towards Chinese...

    Intelinvestor, if you are desperate enough to quote your own message. Just start your own thread and bash US or whoever all you want. This thread is pathetic to start with. I doubt this is the main stream feeling towards McDonald. If red is so sensitive in these 3 days, should everyone...

    Never talk about the money you make with your friends

    You sound young. Take the advise of others. You can talk about the same thing but different people will react differently. If your friend is a doctor or someone who is very successful, he probably will be very happy for you. If you are talking about buying ps3 or xbox and knew your...

    biggest prop/con job in market history

    Of course, Ben prop the market since last fall. I don't think it is a con job since it is pretty clear from day one that Ben is trading inflation for recession. Also, he definitely timed his announce to make his impact the biggest. Dollar down, inflation up, everything cost more and that...
