#@^% me. Somebody from Bloomie musta been reading this thread, now I have the crappy new screen too.

And eventually adding weight to the theorem: There is no problem so big that government cannot come along and make it even worse.

The main problem is that psychopaths win the race to the bottom. Just reference the illegal narcotics trade. Now if one happens to already be a psychopath, then protection rackets on illegal operations might be a fine career choice. ;)

There is an essential (fundamental, if you will) problem with fundamental alanalysis, specifically timing. Is the worldwide massive government debt going to cause major problems? Oh yeah. There is a giant storm building on the horizon and everyone can see the clouds. We know it is coming...

Reformatted from above: CONCLUSION During the past two decades, large increases — and decreases — in central bank balance sheets have become a viable monetary policy tool. Historically, doubling or tripling a country’s monetary base was a recipe for certain higher inflation. Often...

This surely must be one of the signs of the Apocalypse: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20101217/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_fragrance_celebrity_europe

That's not it. One PC boots at least weekly, and my other one at least once a day. Regardless (or irregardless as Pauly Walnuts would say), it works for me and that makes me happy. :)

If Uncle Sam legalized drugs and taxed the bejebbers out of them, expenditures would rise by 120% of the additional revenues. More money = going broke faster in a messed up system, just like lottery winners.

Won't work. We need a substantial majority of voters with skin in the game. If too few people are paying the tab, the majority vote is for lots more Perignon and caviar.

Works for me. Maybe because the very first day they switched to that ugly orange thing I figured out how to Noir it. Or perhaps because I'm using Firefox.

Too late. Divide the cost of government by the number of people to get an average cost per citizen. Then see how many pay that much or more in taxes - practically no one. 90% of us are moochers, only 10% are paying our "fair share". Most of the population pay no income taxes. The only...

Most everybody does. Fortunately, you can still use the old version: http://noir.bloomberg.com/?b=0

:D My desk has been customized. I like to sit up higher so I put it up on blocks. You can see one of the blocks in the picture. There's also a picture of it in the <I>Pictures of your trading station</I> thread.

Old mat post holder.

A few years ago, I posted about plastic chair mats and somebody here (I forget who, but thank you) suggested I try tempered glass. My third plastic mat has broken down and I finally bought a nice glass replacement. It’s *much* better! When I had plastic mats, my chair would make...

`Cuz they are not mad at the banks. They are mad at the politicians who spend money like it's not theirs and the voters who vote for these scoundrels again and again. Do you get mad at the store that sold your wife that $25K bauble or do you get mad at your wife for buying it? Actually...

The only thing I don't understand is why this took so long. The republicans are not about to stand by and be called a bunch of meanies for not handing out unemployment. And the democrats are even more interested in not raising taxes. Maybe the sticky point was whether all the Bush Tax Cuts...

Moved.

You need a proctologist and a flashlight to see where those numbers come from. :)

Back when I went to Harvard, I was sleeping in English class one day. The prof called out "TGregg, quick, give me two pronouns!" "Who, me?"
