  3. even I am beginning to doubt the viability of participating on these threads,

    sometimes I wonder what's the point anymore,

    these topics are more and more straying away from trading and trades related news stories,

    and I am bereft to see how these discussions benefit ones trading during the day,

    hmmmm,

    perhaps leaving NYC and ET are a combination best to be savoured....

  4. Personally, I hope that ALL THE PEOPLE WITH MONEY VACATE*... leaving behind only broke, Socialist cocksuckers with no rich nor middle-class earners to milk... THEN, perhaps, there will be a re-think...

    * New York, California, All of America in fact. Did you know that 1/2 of 1% of taxpayers... pay 50% (YES, F-I-F-T-Y percent) of NYC taxes.... what kind of hose is that??

    A re-think? Have you lost your mind? We tried that very thing. Took a prosperous US city, started raising taxes, going soft on crime, bad schools, etc. All the people with money left. Started 50 years ago. But the residents still are not interested in changing their ways, despite the fact that the city is a joke. They are even talking about building FARMS. In a suburban city center. That's how bad it is.

    But no re-think. Not for Detroit.

  6. gotta try and figure out which objective is being discussed or focused upon

    a) re-think tax policies and urbanized living standards

    b) social behavioral changes in the citizenry left behind, under the guise and anticipation that improvements can be wrought and changes made to improve conditions

    if its the latter, then wow
    if its the former, then wow

    so in both cases, wow

    MPA's (masters in public administration) are the select topics and areas that the colleges have assigned to public policy courses,

    perhaps if a trader came from those lessons, degrees or otherwise they could weigh in,

    other than that, none of us seems qualified to really weigh in too heavy on these topics

  7. with that logic based on education and/or experience, Congress can't weigh-in (aka ...vote) on anything ... well maybe you are on to something..... :)
