loving every minute of this....

Cheers

The only thing you retarded twits have "bagged" is your maturity, your intelligence, and your manhood.

Good job, you retarded pieces of s*it.

Interesting stuff there. Lots of broken windows.

Economy

-------------- German cash-for-clunkers (sales surge, then collapse)

Germany's Labor Costs Rise as Unemployment Drops (temp workers from stimulus pkg boosts labor costs)

...the rise in German labor costs appears to have resulted almost entirely from the country's short-time work program, a program instituted to help the country avoid massive layoffs during last- year's recession. The result was that, even as the government helped pay workers on the program, employers were still responsible for coming up with a third of the salaries for employees no longer laboring on the assembly lines. The result was a nominal loss in productivity and a concurrent rise in labor costs."

AGW

-------- Climate Catastrophe (climategate fallout)

More AGW under Climate Change (IPCC resignation, scandal, chaos)

How do you help create jobs?

Tax businesses. Use the money to pay people to waste time That will increase the cost of labor Businesses will be able to afford fewer workers Repeat as needed.

Now for the well known quote: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

I was amused to note o the Germans have rediscovered that subsidizing 1 million unneeded people to do anything raises the cost of doing everything, and o their cash-for-clunkers didn't work any better than ours.

They seem annoyed.

And, more generally, though Europeans started off following the Pied Piper's economic-crisis handling lead (stimulus packages, etc) toward the cliff, now they're having none of it, even as he continues to preach at them that they should, and twists their arms that they must.

IOW, the love affair in Europe's over too.

But the real issue is, will we ever be able to undo the damage he has done? I suspect not.

Solar and wind and small head hydro and insulation installation are all things that small companies can do. Since small companies are where the jobs growth and new ideas come from, it make sense to back those ideas.

No more than we've been able to undo the damage FDR did. The good news is that Obummer won't be elected three more times.

All companies should switch to my nearly year old suggestion that they take out all of their water heaters, and use in-line, on-demand (HWOD)systems.

The way to save energy is that they USE DC to feed them with (rewire required on existing HWOD systems), and then re-charge the DC banks at night, when the power is cheaper and demand lower.

That alone would reduce daily, daylight hours demand by quite a few percentage points.

Even homeowners could switch to that for many of the HW taps, and still use tanks for showers and such (same for businesses on the showers).

That's a worthy quotable.

Archie: I see your location changed. Why do you need 75 different nyms?

Does it help you talk to yourself?

Maybe, in a decade or two. Just slash spending and pay off what we owe. It's possible. Wean people off entitlements and coax them into the workforce. The question is will we, or will we let it all fail and leave nature to take its grisly course?

Meanwhile, I'm struck with the extent to and speed at which the world's come unraveled now that we're not there, at a time they need us most. In Mr. Obama's parleys to show our adversaries we're not a threat, he's shown them and everyone else we're not a reliable friend right now, either.

We've faced worse. Besides, we have no choice. When economies stop, armies move. We--the US--have kept a lid on that natural order since WWII. Until now. Now, we're part of it--a perfect storm.

No, it did not, idiot. I keep telling you that your grasp of things Usenet is nil, you stupid f*ck.

Need? Why do you need to make yourself feel important by stalking someone?

What you are, is impotent, though your feeble mind may need to go look that one up, just so you do not go any more simpleton than you already are and think I refer to something which I do not.

Tell us, GreegTard... Does it?

We're not stalking you, AlwaysWrong. You're everywhere, now that you're unemployed.

Most six-year olds grow out of the parrot stage, DimBulb. You're half a century late. Always wrong.

Not only that, the various utilities respond to noticeable conservation by crying to the regulators "we can't make enough profit any more, we need a rate hike (which they usually get)".

No,I am not "unemployed". I am off a few days though, so in your retarded stalking, your assessment, as usual, is in err.
