  • Airlines: Some Costs They Can't - And Shouldn't - Cut [View article]
    auto pilots are going to become the "right stuff" because only insane people are willing to do such a demanding job for so little; $25 grand for FO! USAF is moving to more UAVs so they have less $1million training bills ( 174th FW). disclosure: fly for fun, stay away from professional aviation.

  • Currently fashionable erroneous economic assumptions, Part IV: China [View instapost]
    great article, i have heard that communism is only a label the west put on china. china's policies are based on being the most efficient: artificially low currency. keep unemployment down, etc. With labor laws in the US and none in china, and a low wage, do you still think china is a bad investment? I am a goldbug, but have been eyeing Macquarie and Rogers™ China Agriculture Index. what do you think of commodities in china?

  • Wary Americans Slowed Spending Long Before Economic Crisis [View article]
    The federal government is sending each of us a $600 rebate. If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money goes to China. If we spend it on gasoline it goes to the Arabs. If we buy a computer/Software it will go to India. If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala. If we purchase a good car it will go to Germany. If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy. The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes and beer, since these are the only products still produced in US. I've been doing my part .
