[kj] OT -- 9%... 10%...

There is a lot of serious talk that what's happening in Eqypt is largely due
to massive printing of cash causing food prices to rise everywhere.



They've gone up something nasty in the last couple years in NZ / Aus. Almost
$5 for 2L milk. Anyone noticing the same in the UK / US / Eur / Asia?

I like the progression of Moe Barak's positions throughout this whole thing:



- Go home (or else!)! Go home now! (at beginning)
- OK, I'll leave!, just give me 8 months! (til the Sept. elections)

- I hereby proclaim to abdicate, ambiguously, forthwith!

~~ signed, (still)thePresident of Egypt (couple
of days ago)

- Ok, I'm gonna go out of town for the weekend with the wife to go, um,
"charm the sheik" at Sharm-

el-Sheik, just forget about me for now; I'll be back in a few....

- Alright, if I leave (big IF), I'll leave my Chief of Intelligence,
Torture & Suppression in charge. You'll be safe

with him (I was). Be grateful.

- Alright, alright, I'm leaving. Peace out!



Pharaoh, hear thy People: go.

Funny, I've been following Egypt, and the keep talking about all the
unemployment there, and horrible conditions for the middle and working
class. They've shown interviews
w/college educated professionals who've been out of work for years...You
know what the unemployment rate is there?? TEN PERCENT!! And if they meanure
it honestly, it's probably less
that that of the US which is really around 20% if you take into account the
stuff Brendan talked about). Admitedly things are worse there in tems of
wages, gov oppression, etc., but this all
shows that different countries are more alike than different.
Another similarity: CNN's head foreign correspondant just said that police
In Egypt randomly commit acts of violence against people, arrest them at
will, don't tell family members of people imprisoned, and of
corse that the army has not for the most part not attacked the protesters or
shot at their own people. Hmm, sounds like the way dark skinned people and
immigrants are treated in a country I know...

So here it is again from the horses' mouths. At the highest level they are
saying now that unemployment won't come down to a
near(-but-still-high)-normal 5% for another 10 years, with 6 years being the
Optimists' view. And that's with Corporate America sitting on a liquid
$2Trillion in cash = 50 million people working for a year. They'd rather buy
back their own stock (to keep the gains and dividends in-house) than to put
a commoner to work.

9% Unemployment Just Fine http://www.cnbc.com/id/41517149

10% of the land is The Hand

that pulls the strings...

to have, to own, to hold:

money, property, assets - before lives



Green gestures..an endless debate

Why? Just to justify,

jus-ti-justify..this 'Utopia':

"Money is our business

Cash is our business

These derivatives is our
business

Lies! are our business

Business is our
Business!!"
