Does that include you and me? <Millions of people don't yet realize yet that they're going to be totally screwed. Next year will be rough, and then it will get even worse. > So far, in NZ$, [my grocery currency], I'm about all square with where I was this time last year. Actually, I think I'm ahead but haven't checked. I was looking forwards to being a landlord in the USA for several thousand people, [Honolulu preferably but also in the San Diego area], but suspect that I'm being outbid by the USA taxpayers, Congress and President. I might run a car company too [either GM or Ford - I prefer Ford]. Take over all the assets, rehire half of the people [the good half] at a fifth of the pay, leave the SUV lines shut [probably] and do a better job than Toyota. I'll take over Globalstar too, get a $3 billion loan for 10 years at 0% from Big Ben and launch a total coverage constellation. Every Ford vehicle will have Globalstar built in for GPS and communications [both voice and data]. Minutes and megabytes will be free until the system is full at which time the price will be increased to ensure somebody can always make a call and send a megabyte. Mqurice
