      Wake Up America, You’re Sinking
      Bravo, and well-said. America is decadent.

      WSJ Chooses Spin Over Precision
      Since I disproportionately share the US Dollar with that idiot Rupert Murdoch, and he has more bucks than me, I am being adversely affected by him when he makes misleading remarks to an audience of investors in the periodical he ruined. If I didn't carry US Dollars in my wallet, I wouldn't care as much. But since I'm trapped like an animal in the same country and economy as Rupert Murdoch and other worthless people like him, and have always been, I'm held hostage to a weaker currency that buys me less in exchange for true value- my labor services- but keeps him rich. God he screwed the WSJ. He shouldn't be allowed to offer products and services for exchange under the US Dollar. He should be boycotted from currency. His news products and services are inferior. The problem is that the reality would hold me boycotted from the currency. I wasn't born an elitist, so I'm destined for a life of toil and struggle against my will. Ahh, who cares. I've already disowned the Dollar. Life is worthless because I have to live it in the dirty US empire with scum like Rupert Murdoch. And who's blaming him? If I was given the life of splendor he was given, I'd probably sink just as low to maintain and build my fortune. I'm human, too. Just a human without nearly as much damn luck. To succeed in this shit country, it seems like all you need is luck, and nothing else counts.

      Is it Different This Time?
      I have a question. Has this ever happened before? The stock market was supposed to correct harder than it did. Instead, Bernanke led the Fed to employ a safeguard and cheapen the rates of the US Dollar. Back in 1929 and the early 1930s we had a huge correction, but the dollar was not spit out by whirring printing presses. Here we needed another correction, and instead of letting the stock market crash to rich-become-poor lows and therefore letting the non-working rich who owned the worthless holdings become workers, we suffered a devaluation of the currency and made liquidity bountiful for all thanks to the Fed saving the rich from becoming workers. Is the fate of all fiat currencies the same? It seems to me it would be. The rich become very wealthy and the workers get nothing, right?

      Credit Crisis Review: ARMed for Failure
      Who cares if things go to shit? There is no social mobility in the US. So what's wrong with "crooks" giving a half-assed attempt to get rich? Decorate it however you want.

      American Express Company Q2 2008 Earnings Call Transcript
      I love you American Express. Too bad the economy offers no room for us to dance together like I wanted. Things aren't as they have been before in past years (prior to 2004). Startups aren't feasible for a single talented guy to pull off. My failure was a sign of the times. I am a failure, but mostly because of market saturation.

      Washington Needs to Trim the Fat, Not Tax More
      I thought I was going to read an idiotic Republican spew crap without any real point when I clicked on the article. I was pleasantly surprised. I never thought of the 2003 retroactive tax cuts this way. I applaud the author for making a good point (and must take this chance to note that my old blogging hobbies aren't doing as much for me anymore).

      The Fat Lady's Not Singing Yet for the Economy
      I think this is only the beginning of the decline in earnings. 2008 will be the first year of the earnings recession. I believe earnings will continue to recede.

      Pay More, Get Less
      In fact, I published my theoretical design on the Internet. I voluntarily offered my great work to the world so it could be put to a great use by all.

      Subsequently I developed compounding binary relations. It can serve as the critical tool to make vast banks of knowledge available to be processed so as to make artificial intelligence on a computer limitlessly formidable.

      Skilled labor is easily possible on machine sentience.

      Not even cheap Indian and Chinese programmers can match the power of a grid of sentient machines following your instructions tirelessly and effectively. We don't need unskilled labor, and we don't need semi-skilled labor.

      In fact, if done properly (and that's a major if), everybody could live a real nice easy life. There is a cogent theoretical approach to controlling the machines so as to balance them against running amok.

      Interesting. The US Dollar's weakness is competitively a good thing. I just wasn't arrogant enough to add myself to the equation. Well, with my development of sentient robotic labor and my development of the #P class of algorithms, labor shouldn't be at very much of a shortage for long. Not for an economy, and not for a military.

      It's hard to already be arrogant, but realize I have to be even more arrogant to be accurate. I feel just like an arrogant prick. Is there any limit to how arrogant I have to be to be accurate? :)

      I realized something. I myself invented a technology long ago that can be used to power robots to perform the same labor as Chinese slaves under whip and chain. It's called "artificial intelligence." America can remain a consumer economy, and we can make robots powered by computers to do the same labor any unskilled laborer can do. AI was my opus (or so I considered at the time).

      A weak US Dollar makes for an extremely formidable export economy, given artificial intelligence is properly implemented. A weak currency is good for the economy if people use my AI technology to replace unskilled labor. Then US goods are cheaper than all other goods worldwide, for us as well as everybody else.

      Artificially intelligent robotic labor equity at the mere fixed cost of the manufacturing of the robot, plus the ongoing cost of power and maintenance.

      Mortgage Bond Ratings Change: "Too Little, Too Late"
      They were all in on it. Everybody in the industry knew what was going on. "Landscaping Director" was Mortgage for "Gardener."

      Here's one I personally just thought of: "Manager of Corporate Relations and Rapport"- Mortgage for "Beggar next to a High Rise."

      How about "Personal Assistant"? Mortgage for "Hooker."

      And of course nobody in the entire world of mortgage knew a single soul in the ratings agencies, inside the business world or in their personal lives, and nobody affiliated with anybody in the mortgage industry, including friends and relatives, knew anybody or any affiliate of any of the ratings agencies like a mo'fo'.

      Pending Home Sales Plummet 24.2%
      Yes, but that's not failing to note that next month after this one is March 2008, and not February 2008. So the new home sales will certainly March on in for the real estate industry. You can't say they won't yet for sure. That closely resembles charging right in. Charging with their demographically-increa... families, who then make more families (with all the unprotected sex in their euphoric state of buying a new house), and the new families then go and buy more and more homes, and so on and so forth. So it can be expected that there are good times ahead like a mo'fo'.

      Countrywide and Chase Shut Off the Cash Spigot
      I'm ready to fully author my optimizing software barter economy whenever most everybody else is ready. Norco and Vicadin (sp? sp?) drug tablets don't provide a sturdy means of barter exchange for a self-sustaining economy in my opinion.

      Defense Sector January 2008 Review
      They're really pumping a lot of financial attention into the aerospace-defense sector, but it appears as though the corporate behemoths continue to overpromise and underdeliver because they just don't have enough engineers from their "fragile constellation" of star performers playing ball for the money under the working conditions characteristic of aerospace-defense for a performing engineer.

      There are probably rumors and buzz that some investors are operating by.

      What the Housing 'Apocalypse' Prophets Aren't Revealing
      I'd just guess people are filing for reverse mortgages on the remaining equity in their houses because they're out of cash and need to pay some more immediate bills. Desperation applications to turn what's left of "their" homes into ATM spigots.
