Geithner says hard times to continue for many

  1. Forget it. Few places are better off, and those that are, you'll be disadvantaged by not knowing the language in many of them, and having no social or business network, not knowing the system, being away from friends and family etc.

    Going away 1-3 years for some adventure and maybe tax saving can make sense. But emigrating just because GDP growth slowed down a bit? That's lunacy. Even if it 'works', you are now stuck in a foreign country in 3 years time, and to come back you'll have to disrupt your life and start all over again.

    Better to forget grass is greener syndrome, and work on improving your output, skills, networking, and career opportunities at home, whilst living a full life in the vicinity of the people, places, and other things you know.

  2. You can bet if he wasn't looking for another job he wouldn't be saying shit like this.

  4. Only if you have another nationality, otherwise it would be illegal for you to work for a living. Trading is probably ok.

    Wouldn't it be wild if some country like say, China liberated us from the tyranny of the thugs in D.C.?

    If Geithner continues to steer this ship of state towards Japan, then yes, we're in for a long haul.

    The rich have always screwed the poor - so what's new

    The only difference in the USA is, they are respected for it. Mention a word like fair or justice and that's the end for you loser boy.

    BTW have you seen that thread by a 14 year old ?

    By the time he is 40 he should own most of North America.

    The worm may turn one fine day

    oh yes

    Didn't the head honcho of the world's banking system get taken down by a chambermaid in NY just recently ?
    The general public may never know who paid what, to who, to accomplish this feat but you never know.

    Another mighty man got hurt last wek in London. Not by a roving mugger but by a phone hacking scandal. H e is still wobbling over a redhead at the centre of the mess, but should survive it.

  9. Just read this. It is very good advice. I am sure you have been through the same thing.
