ed,OTOTOT."headline:Mom used toaster(appliance) to get online to buy
'I'm internet Inc(III)'. While she was seeing little John to get
on the school bus, her market order to buy 1000 III executed. Within
minutes, III shot up 50%. Mom called her company she was not feeling
well to come to work. She sat down at the kitchen table tallying
the money she made. There was a malfunction in the toaster, she's
been buying chunks of III, by the time she noticed it (when the
broker called for margin), she already bought 100000 and III has
shot up 80% and still going up. She mortgaged the house to
satisfy the margin call. By the time the toaster was fixed, she
bought 500,800 shares of III at an average cost of $5. (III was
trading at 10.0625 at that time). She called the broker to unwind
all her III holding, at the end of the day, her small profit came to
the neighborhood of $2million. Her husband came home dejectedly since
he was just laid off (he worked for III). Company shifted all projects
to offshore outfits to increase profitability and announced big
layoff (except the beancounters), wall-street 'celebrated' the big
layoff and bidded up the stock. He was very pleased that company laid
him off and called the management and gave them 'that'a boy'. Their
next door neighbor (the husband also worked for III) used a microwave
to get one line (also had a malfunction that day) and she bought
2million shares of III by the time the microware was fixed. They both
got laied off and both called the management for 'that'a boy'.

Tomm Petter went on to write a book on 'successful management style'
in 8 languages based on this story. Before one knows it, Americans
are all Billionaires and don't have to work(on no job). Walmart has
an army of 'early retired' volunteers to greet people at the
entrance and accompany customer and showed them 'the appliances'.

A sudden boom in building golf-courses around the world (it's easier
to build it overthere and fly to play). BA(boeing) has 1000 years of
backlog of all sort of jets to fly Americans to play golf around
he world. Airports needed to upgrade all equipments to handle the
increased traffic. New airports construction everywhere.

American ran out of workers (everyone is a billionairs and have
nothing worthy to do but playing golf and counting money). US.
airports (actually the whole country) were run by multi-nationals
and the electronic industry can't keep up with building
'multi-language translator',

....... everything start snowballing ... richer and richer and
the minimum wage (after a hard fight leaded by Democrates vs.
Repulicans) was $1/sec and no end in sight. Women would not marry
and have children or do housework. Americans needed to import wifes
and husbands. Kids having trouble communicating with mon/dad/grand-parent, democrates accused republicans holding back
funds to educate people in 51 lanaguages...After 50 2for1 splits in
5 years, MSFT is trading at $1000/shares. DOJ is still trying to
breakup MSFT and the legal teams grew to 500,000 (there is not much
other kind of job worth doing in U.S.A). MSFT consists of only
lawyer/management/PCs (500,000), the 'software/manufacturing' are all
over the world to take advantage of cheap/quality enginerring talent
pool...Every family has several servants (not that they have much to
do either, they are needed for language translation) since USA are
run by all the imported low-wage worker (Imported Minimum wage is only
$1/min). Americans are living in a virtual foreign country. To
speak in English/American, Americans need to go to the embassy in
foriegn country where political parties don't have to satisfy
voter's mandate to provide '51-language support'. U.S governments
decided to negotiate with foreign countries so that she can expand
the 'embassy compound' to house Americans who wanted/needed to speak
their own language...... Gay/Lesbian asked for thier 'proper representation', (eg. garriage, larriage vs. marriage).
Terms that used to imply 'mixed marriage' now needs to be identify
with the proper life-style prefix 'L' for lesbin and 'G' for gay/guy.

So we have Garriage counselor vs. marriage counselor.
And 'will you larry me' instead of 'will you marry me'.

Again, Democrates accused Republicans holding back funds to 'educate'
OUR CHILDREN on 'proper' life-style in 51-languages.

..... THIS IS OTOTOTOT.
