one reason we have not opted to live in a place with garden, and there are such abodes in hk, is because we did not wish to deal with slithery creepy crawly things every so often the neighborhood is alerted to nasties such as bamboo snake, and other flaming warning-coloured varieties, as well as tame but nasty boas and such released by owners

Cold keep people who like hot weather out. Like northern Brazilians. Lazy people like hot weather. We call it the General Winter. It keeps the northerners out. Northerners I mean from all extraction.

They just stopped a bank run at the last months of Bush administration. Handed over the economy in a terrible state to Obama to make sure he would be finished in a couple of years. Let's refresh some memories here. September of 2008 was a panicky, defining moment in this crisis when in just one week people withdrew $144.5 billion from money market accounts versus $7.1 billion the week prior to it. In a dramatic meeting on September 18, 2008 Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke met with key legislators to propose a $700 billion emergency bailout. Bernanke reportedly told them: "If we don't do this, we may not have an economy on Monday." [7] But that was not enough to arrest the downward slide of economy. Between June 2007 and November 2008, Americans lost an estimated average of more than a quarter of their collective net worth. By early November 2008, the S&P 500, a broad U.S. stock index, was down 45 percent from its 2007 high. To offset this decline in consumption and lending capacity, the U.S. government and U.S. Federal Reserve have committed $13.9 trillion, of which $6.8 trillion has been invested or spent, as of June 2009. In effect, the Fed has gone from being the "lender of last resort" to the "lender of only resort."

Finance and military-industrial complexes make sure Obama fails.

The iron ore export tax threat is to force the companies to increase the investment in Brazil. As you can see it works: Usiminas (USIM5.SA), Brazil's largest producer of flat steel, said on Tuesday it will boost investment by 33 percent this year to ramp up output and may revive plans to build a mill in Minas Gerais state as demand for steel recovers in Latin America's biggest economy. Then Usiminas can go to Brasilia and say; I am cooperating, but I need a little favor...

Government want those big companies to be tools of development long term and not short term profit only. Consider: The government may create tax incentives to lift fertilizer output, Lobao said. Latin America’s biggest economy imports 91 percent of its potash needs, 49 percent of the phosphates it uses and 75 percent of its nitrogen-based fertilizer raw materials, according to Joao Cesar de Freitas Pinheiro, fertilizer minerals chief at the Energy & Mining Ministry. Vale agreed Jan. 23 to buy Bunge Ltd.’s fertilizer assets in Brazil for $3.8 billion in cash. That is necessary to iron ore company to assist food companies. Not only of iron man leaves. So Brazil government is being reasoneable in its demands.
