The Real Crisis Yet To Unfold

Re: The Real Crisis Yet To Unfold

The only healthcare reform we will see is walmart and other companies moving healthcare cost to the public balance sheet.

Wrong company. Wal-Mart has no shame in pushing its working employees onto the public dole (something about 28 hours a week considered full time for their floor workers, never mind legal definitions).

More like Geriatric Motors gets its final bailout.

Thank you. But there is more. I have set out detailed rules for the investment of your wealth back into your local communities. www.chriscoles.com/page3.html

The Times, London have been giving me coverage by allowing me to quote the name of my free to download book four times so far and have allowed me to be the sole comment on some very important occasions. This is a good example.

As I say, we have nothing to fear, but fear itself.

Chris,

I just discovered a quote at longtail.com that might interest you. One of the posters, Emory Anderson, wrote, "There's a whole aspect of the 'Long Tail' that I haven't seen you mention, which is no surprise because it's in its infancy.

But here in London I'm starting to see the very beginnings of a form of 'Long Tail Capitalism' (as I call it), wherein small amounts of capital by regular individuals are converted into working capital for other small ventures........(As for me, I used to do physics but now do risk management)".

K, ?

Thanks for that. In fact I am trying to get the idea of a conference on this subject off the ground and might have some more news later this week. Might, being the operative word.

Chris.

The OP has to ride the NYC subway sometime. A few lines have nice new trains, but most stations are barely unchanged from a century ago and probably half the trains were built before I was born and I am 30!

What a great example of Government setting priorities and building infrastructure. I'm genuinely grateful they did that -still working and making our lives better 30 years later. Actually, much of the hidden subway infrastructure (control system relays, track circuits) are even older and expected to still be working after 100 years. Our grandfathers we not stupid people (they passed the the Glass–Steagall Act also).
