      there is a rumour that effective January 1, 2008 all females employees of any Citigroup operation worldwide will be required to wear a burqa — either traditional black or dark grey. While the new Muslin shareholders do not have direct voting rights, apparently they can
      influence social aspects based on their recently announced ownership position.

      Campy, but still funny. My main problem with forcing women to wear burqas is that its easier to hide being overweight. If I have to wear hot pink spandex hot pants to work, so should they.

        In some places of worship the men and women are separated from one another

        The rationale is that men will not be thinking about God if there are women present so don’t have women present

        Hiding women behind (inside?) burqas could be motivated by the same rationale

        More and more of our assets are owned by the Asian and Arabs. We have no one to blame but us, our overconsumption and arrogance is driving this great country to the ground. We could easily cut 25% of gasoline consumption (Saving the country ~150 billion dollars annually) if we want to, but no, we want our SUVs, we want more horse power. Think about this, a family sedan in the late 80s has about 120 Horse Power. Now it is 180-280 hp. Most of the articles I read from Car Magazines equate More horse power to a great car. 90% of Escalade/Hummer/Suburdan owners could be ok driving an Impala.

        But hey, I don’t worry about this. We have been living large and the Asians and Arabs living on $2/day. May be it is time for better wealth distribution in the world.

          And I thought the dollar was worthless and anything priced in dollars would be worth less in the future. Maybe the world sees the current situation as discount prices ?

          Anyway, back in the 80’s I was worried that the Japanese were buying up all the prime real estate in the U.S. They were going to take us over. What happened after that ? Real estate meltdown. Their US assets deflated and they were hosed.

          I believe in free markets. May the best win. If we lose then it’ll be of our own doing. If we squander our advantages, then we have nobody but us to blame. Simple as that.

          We are all citizens of the world, right? What does it matter if the world economy keeps on growing and lifting millions out of poverty?

          I drive a 2004 Impala and really like it.  Incidentally I rented a car back in Akron for 11 days not knowing what I'd get (Hotwire 19/day full size), and it was a 2007 Impala, and it was a nice ride.

      It’s more important to look successful to your neighbors than it is to actually have any money or productive assets. People in this country are penalized for saving by inflation, an extremely low interest rate due to have the US dollar as a reserve currency, and the government subsidizing debtors by allowing a mortgage interest deduction.

      This country needs hyperinflation and a oil at $400 per barrel before any lessons are learned.

        Absolutely! Why live in poverty, when you can live in debt?

         

        Anyway, it's gonna suck for our kids that they are gonna be a financial slave to just about every other country if things progress this way.

        t's more important to look successful to your neighbors than it is to actually have any money or productive assets. People in this country are penalized for saving by inflation, an extremely low interest rate due to have the US dollar as a reserve currency, and the government subsidizing debtors by allowing a mortgage interest deduction.

        This country needs hyperinflation and a oil at $400 per barrel before any lessons are learned.

         

        Absolutely! Why live in poverty, when you can live in debt?

         

        Anyway, it's gonna suck for our kids that they are gonna be a financial slave to just about every other country if things progress this way.
