* On that government bailout thing -- is there something I'm missing? I mean -- private companies, AIG, GM, etc, that FAIL -- and we give them money, instead of letting "Darwin in the business world" (survival of the fittest) take place. I'm not a financial wizard -- but it seems to me that failure for them would be a great option ( Read more... )

Apparently the little Darwin fish of the business world is swimming backwards... into a cluster of jellyfish wielding platinum spatulas?

you are so endearingly bizarre sometimes ...you know this? :)

Ya I know. I been called "Bizarre" three times this week.

hopefully all in a good context. Frankly -- thats a big part of what makes you so very interesting, to be perfectly honest

I think the government doesn't want them to fail because it will cost lots of people their jobs, who will then end up on unemployment. So either way they will have to pay - this way it keeps people busy and less stressed. It's probably not the only reason, or the best reason, but I know I've heard this theory before.

Under somewhat normal conditions (as in, not in the midst of an economic meltdown), I would agree that letting them fail would be for the best.

so really a damned if you don't/damned if you do kind of scenario -- and a ton of number crunchers up there deciding which will cost the LEAST amount of money. That makes a lot more sense -- I wasnt thinking of the unemployment cost.

Hopefully these programs they're putting together out there add some fluidity to the system, if not actual "Wealth"

it'd be nice if we actually made "products" instead of having become simply a "Service industry"
