Having said this, I can never forgive MSFT over Vista and Office 2007. It's such shitty software. I hope APPL takes MSFT to the cleaners.
Yes, that's true, the American's have been pulling the rest of the world down. They have been a drag on the rest of the world's economy by consuming so much and producing so little. The rest of the world will realize that they have been wasting all their time and resources making things for the United States and getting only paper dollars in return. Once they stop doing that, they can redirect their factories towards making things for themselves and building up their own economy.
Was it Canadian H1B's that produced Vista? If that's the case, I'd like to take back my request for America to send them back here to Canada. Maybe we could send them to work on the computers close to the frontlines in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Ive read 4 different threads today. all the discussions end up with stupid canadians talking about how great thier country is and how US sucks. its getting really irritating. why do all the freakin canadians have inferiority complex. Ive never met a canadian who doesnt complain about US. where as no one in US cares anything about canada. I dont know a single person who wants to move to canada from here. last couple of years it used to be aussies and europeans who used to do this crap. theyve become less vocal but the damn canucks are really irritating.
let me guess all the other economies in the world are pure and highly productive. The reason the world economy interacts with the U.S. is because they are being kind to their beloved U.S. friends and now they are being repaid with our crises. grow up.
It's all related to making more profits for american corporations by weakening the worker. Is it sustainable? No, it might even be over. Now these corporations are all moving to sell to the strong growth markets.
I'm so sorry if you're referring to any of my comments. I only intended to have an interesting and educational discussion, not to offend any Americans, Canadians or other nationalities. As a matter of fact, a lot of my opinions come from an American who I believe knows more about the economy than anyone I've ever met in Canada: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I0QN-FYkpw
