Is anyone watching the Dow?

[caybee 21]

Dow started dropping again, now down 734.27.

Isn't there some sort of emergency switch?

And so...let's talk about this.

What if we all bartered and traded with each other.

Stopped with global agriculture and brought it back home and respected the soil and the plants and the animals...no pesticides, no antibiotics, no hormones.

Just real, fresh and pure.

Solar and wind power...even wave power...sustainable energy.

Get rid of anything requiring petroleum...yes that includes PLASTIC!!!!!

That would be a great start!

(Hey, this is just me typing faster than I can string the words together...in excitement of the possibilities.)

You're channeling the movie, The Postman.

Ha!

Something to look into.

I have never seen it.

There were enough Democrats (40%) who agreed with the Republicans to make it fail

Yeah, that's what i read...

[SpiritAlight 1]

i read that both the Republicans & Democrats did not support the bill, so it seems that both sides are in agreement in their disagreement so to speak.

United!

So what's Congress's rating now?

Good timing too, I'm thinking about a house. I hope the economy crashes much harder than this.

Well yippee for that 'as long as it doesn't affect me' attitude.

Heh. I think also it is too soon to know if it is going to effect you or me or whoever directly right now. Markets all over the Western Hemisphere are crashing. Who knows what tomorrow will look like when Asia and Europe wake up to give their opinion. I wouldn't be snatching the fiddle yet with a Mission Accomplished banner over the head.

What does that mean in lay people talk?

the gop f##ked the economic ..for certain

That's funny because I remember VJ posters cursing the GOP as the party to bailout the rich brokering houses. Now they are agreeing with Bush against the GOP in Congress. Politics make strange bedfellows.

Dont listen to the politicians. In this case listen to knowledgable business people.

Aren't the knowledgable business people the ones who profited from this mess in the first place?

The ability to borrow is frozen which ultimately affects a businesses ability to do business.

No, those are the corrupt business people.
