Rose- Welcome to the U.........kraine of America!
Lee, I must agree with you. It was Unions that finally gave j6p a voice and are what made this country great.
And the west coast of Canada.......including Alaska.!!!!
The rancher missed the post just before this one......it also had a turtle on it.
Perhaps someone should inform these three gentlemen it's not the union they should be trying to make happy.
Hi Red, Sounds like good news to me. This lawsuit will definitely bring in the SUV assembly plant,indeed, they may even move their Porche and Lamborghini operations to Tennessee as well.
Zab - My concern would be, Volkswagon may simply choose to not work with a hostile local government and move on.
Volkswagon has developed a successful management strategy they apply consistently in their factories worldwide, that’s why they’re successful. Surely Corker et al, knew Volkswagons preferred method of operation while enticing the companies expansion to Tennessee. Volkswagon is now being bullied by a few bigoted politicians to change their management style to suit these very same politicians.
Lee some people play scrabble and some play chess.........
Thanks Dan...........
Dan - Are those prices of MJ on that map, per gram, ounce, or pound?
Lee - Re Fucushima, perhaps this may be of some interest...............

Or.........perhaps they will all look like Faux news!
borusa - No harm done. My comment was also meant to be in jest re the 1%er's.
borusa - Are these the workers you refer to that should be getting less than minimum wage?
Obamacare a step forward as positives roll in.

Lee, Zab, Basserdan, Is there a difference?.
Part I
We cut down a 150 year old tree, (clear cut logging)
We plant a sapling (mass tree planting) to replace the 150 year old tree.
In the name of global warming, we estimate, (not calculate) how much carbon this sapling we just planted will ingest in the next 150 years.(we completely ignore the fact that the 150 year old tree we just cut down was ingesting this exact amount of carbon or more)
We name this estimated consumption of carbon by this freshly planted sapling that replaced the 150 year old tree as carbon credits.
We sell these carbon credits for $10 to $20 a ton/credit to industry, which are now called carbon offset.
Voila!, we’ve just monitized the ether!
Part II
The Federal Reserve buys high quality paper, prints “money”, distributes this money for free at “interest”
Voila!, we’ve just monitized the ether!
Is there a difference?
Lee, perhaps it was JFK's signing of "executive order 11110", in effect disenfranchising the Fed that sealed both his and his brother Bobby's fate.
Seminole Red, I cannot defend this exemption of unions from "ObamaCare" I am not familiar with the details for the exemption, however, I will defend unions. If it were not for the unions fighting for a living wage in this country for the last one hundred years, we would still, all be share croppers picking cotton on some plantation in Georgia!
maokin - Thanks for the transcription of Carlin! He was one of a few people in this world who had the balls to say it as it is! May He rest in peace.
OT - Interesting comment posted on the current Snowden/controversy of intrusion of the internet by the NSA posted on Matthew Green's Blog.
Zab,I once read about a psychiatrist treating a patient with panic disorder caused by watching and reading too much horrific news. The good Doctor gave him newspapers to read.........the catch was the papers were a year old .......What we fret about today will be insignificant tomorrow.
Lee - It's a sad commentary on a nation that was once the beacon of freedom and democracy and what it has now become!
OT - Perhaps that is this beautiful planet evolving as it should.
OT - Precisely, It is this denial of truth that propagates the myth of global warming.
OT - This beautiful Earth we live on is a living, breathing and evolving entity. We cannot expect it to remain static to eternity.
Your exalted highness, I must humbly decline your most gracious appointment, for I too am leaving for better parts.
Lee, they're only doing their job as do Fitch, S&P and Moody's!
Lee,It has nothing to do with DNA, It's a matter of incremental conditioning people to accept intrusion into their lives. No different than training animals.
Zab, there will always be detractors no matter what medical system is in place. We in Canada have our critics of our medical system as well. I'm a Canadian senior and am very satisfied with the attention I receive whenever the need arises.
Lee, are you getting actual laser surgery done? I had corneal implants done approximately 5 years ago to rectify cataracts. Amazing results. Near 20/20 vision, colors are much more vivid, much sharper images of whatever I look at, removed glasses restriction from drivers license. 15 - 20 minute procedure, one eye at a time one month apart. Slight "sand in the eye" pain for first day or two post op but tolerable. I'm 77 and glad I had it done.
Bruce - you touched my nostalgia button. Had a 57 chevy convertible bought new $3600, super turbo fire 4 barrel Belair, avocado green, Silver and white vinyl upholstery. I was 22 at the time.......whatta chick magnet! consequently,1 wife, 2 daughters, 4 beautiful grandchildren, 2 gals 2 boys, approaching 50th anniversary.
Hap - thank you very much for the clarification to my query. Please allow me to recap what you so eloquently postulated so that others may better understand.
It was Barney Franks mythical bad borrower and student loans that caused $220 trillion…….more than three times the global economy……… in derivatives to blow up, thereby causing a run on the hapless world Banks. Consequently the Banks, although begrudgingly, were compelled to take taxpayer money to stabilize this horrible situation thrust upon them. The Banks, heroically rose to the situation and have since paid back all of the taxpayer money they were given and are not presently receiving nor do they require any further assistance. The world economy is back on track and everything is back to normal. …….I am sure everyone is much relieved now!
Then perhaps you might explain why "those who have it and create it" had to be bailed out to the tune of trillions of dollars by "those who believe they did not get their fairshare"
Hey Zab - These Volkswagon assembly facilities in Chattanooga........are the parts used in assembling these vehicles, imported from off-shore or are some/all made in the U.S.?....just curious,Thanks
Yes, there is a stampede of people leaving Silicon Valley and moving to Moonshine Holler.
“WHAT A COUNTRY” ……… as Zeev oft said, ………. America, to the world, has always been……… the land of opportunity ………. streets paved with gold ………the land of milk and honey ……..…..and it literally has been the proverbial goose that lays golden eggs for many (1%er’s)…….. However, the goose must also be fed. ……….To make an interesting analogy…….. there is a trueism in gardening……… your garden will feed you but you must also feed your garden!………….. you must be willing to give back to sustain a bountiful harvest……….. you can (1%er's) leave the country but think of your children and generations to come!,…………. cast aside greed and selfishness, you are not alone!
Newly - I don't think Pappa John's sell their pizza at a dollar per pie.......your math suggests they do.
