Occupy Wall Street

Quote from Zr1Trader:

I don't want to move this thread to Polititics and Religion because I think this topic is important. I edited out some of the religious stuff that may have sparked some nerves.


So please refrain from the derogatory race/religion banter going forward .

Now how are we going to figure out who controls the banks that control wall street that controls the media that isn't covering the Occupation of Wall Street that we don't know about yet? I guess we'll just have to wait for them to come up with good intro theme before the little girl says, "Is the media ignoring protests in the US? Stay tuned for the latest on the Occupation of Wall Street."

Quote from oldtime:

funny thing about China, I heard this on TV so I don't know how true it is, but when the Prime Minister wants a new railroad built he just goes to the map and points from here to here. And it's a done deal, no parliment, no votes, no impact study. If your bedroom is on that straight line the train is coming through. Doesn't matter if it's a school a church or a farm the Prime Minister drew a line on the map and that's where the track is going to lie.

How long they can keep up this "efficiency" remains to be seen. When I was growing up we tried to compete with the Soviet Union. Trillions of dollars spent on beating them. Any good economist could have looked at their system and in a few minutes told us, "Not even worth competing against. Try Denmark or Canada, at least they have a chance."

If it wasn't for the soviet union there would have been no competition to get to the moon and also Rocky IV would never have been made! In their day they were at the top of their game technologically, somehow that all fell apart for economic reasons. I agree though, the US/the west needs another opponent like that in order to stimulate some kind of competitive spirit.
Maybe china, and yes apparently they arn't hindered by little things like their own population or democracy getting in the way of progress.
 
we spent hundreds of millions of dollars developing a ball point pen that our astronauts could use in zero gravity. When we got to the space station the Americans were anxious to show it off. The cosmonauts said, "We just use pencils."

And we are still using russian Soyuz to put people and cargo into the ISS. There's now no other way.
 
New York City Police Foundation — New York

JPMorgan Chase recently donated an unprecedented $4.6 million to the New York City Police Foundation. The gift was the largest in the history of the foundation and will enable the New York City Police Department to strengthen security in the Big Apple. The money will pay for 1,000 new patrol car laptops, as well as security monitoring software in the NYPD's main data center.

New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly sent CEO and Chairman Jamie Dimon a note expressing "profound gratitude" for the company's donation.

"These officers put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe," Dimon said. "We're incredibly proud to help them build this program and let them know how much we value their hard work."
