  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [View article]
    Herr Klaus,

    You are on a slippery slope Freund. Do you remember the AMT...Alternative Minimum Tax... meant to snare a few hundred non tax payers. The folly is that raw numbers, as opposted to percentage based calculated numbers, do not allow for INFLATION. And once congress has tasted blood with this program they will be just as loathe to fix it as the have the AMT.

    However, I totaly agree that the NY financial instutions are totally out of whack with the rest of the world in that peple get paid way more than virtually all other industries. Better just tax income and not distinguish the source.

  • Let's Hope the Auto Bailout Has Failed for Good [View article]
    >>ChuckL
    RE: "Those UAW workers you whine about have doubled their productivity over the last 15 years, have you doubled yours?"

    Chuckie, young man, the productivity gains in the last 100 years or so have come from automation and robotics. Humans can only do a certain amount without tools... the better the tools (in quality, quantity and design), the more product a singular human can create. Humans cannot physically work 20% faster!!!! Especially with the union stewards looking over their shoulders.

    Not only the UAW, but many other unions are loathe to adopt automation and robotics because it reduces the need for so a large number of workers. They have generally fought to keep the productivity of workers from rising in order to keep the status quo of the production process. Production companies, particularly the Japanese and less so the Germans are keen on automation and robotics.

    So Chuckie, laddie, Eat your words!

    I believe that the following link is where author got most of info on "sweet" sorghum. Milo is a short, seed variety popular in central and southern US grown mainly for the feed you are already familiar with.
