Hi TA, Their ORCL enterprise planning software not working so well on the SUNW servers linked together by CSCO switches recording data from GE medical equipment purchased with loans from BAC. Similar events must be happening in California given that their servers may not be juiced up at times. Wonder how episodes like this show up on the hedonic productivity gauge, and do folks get more work done whilst commuting across the Bay Bridge for an hour?
I wait with enthusiasm to see the first quarter productivity, inflation and employment lies ... oops, stats, and with amusement to see how Maria will spin the silver lining.
Maestro, our leader, along with the great propaganda machines CNBC, Fortune, and Money, keeps repeating simple messages (no inflation, high productivity, wonder technology, buy, hold, long run, maestro put) so that we do not forget. Bush forbid that something were to happen to the maestro in the pumpkin patch; the masses would feel so lost.
Instead, the messages should be asset inflation, rising energy cost, debt poisoning, layoffs, down grades, commodity technologies, cyclical companies, irresponsible monetary and fiscal policies, uncertain long run, we are on our own, run for the hills, the euro, the emerging markets, the resource stocks, as long as away from name brand scripts run by PR/ego types.
