OK, I'll do my part. Most/all of my posts here have been political,

temptation.
Thunder, if the other folks here of your politcal persuasion could
keep a civil tongue, as you do, politics wouldn't be such a big
problem either. For some, politics just presents another opportunity
for name-calling and personal insults.

Shut up, asshole. You are in no position to be telling anybody else
what to do.

Just go the **** away and don't come back.

I second that motion. He's got justhate, loogy, and the rest of the

Funny, you call me "just hate" so I leave. I come back after a couple
of weeks and find all you salty and donnie are doing with the group is
trashing me, acting like vulgar little children, and crying about
about some imaginary group. Pfffttt...

Amen.

If it would only stay with "Boating". The political minds might try
the political groups and find were some, with other interests percieve
the country and the world. There are plenty of political groups that
require thicker skin than many have here.

The same with other interests that sneak their heads in here.

Even I can manage to listen with my eyes well enough.

I'd be delighted if this were a 90% boating discussion group. Now that
many of the non-boaters have left, maybe it will happen. I have no
interest in the grandchildren of others, golf, bowling, homebrew beer,
diseases of children, campers, brothers, et cetera, and am just as
annoyed to see that crap here as some are to see politics.- Hide quoted text -

Now Krausie, don't get your panties in a wad. Isn't it about time for
the next Yale Alumni gathering. That always seems to calm you down a
tad.

Really. It's nicer around here when the crappers like JustHate and
Herring stay away.

It's worked over the previous 6 or so recessions in the preceding 90 years.

FDR tried to spend us out of the depression and he only succeeded in
lengthening the depression. The only thing that got us out of the
Depression was WWII.

where we spent alot of money.

The big difference after 1940 was we were contracting private industry
to build things instead of paying government workers to do everything
and we stopped taxing the corporations into bankruptcy.

now the corporations have gotten even; they've taxed us into
bankruptcy

It's more than a few.


Not in the grand scheme of things. There are probably 100,000 thousand
corporations in the US, not counting the Type S guys.
The government is cutting bailout checks for a handful of them, mostly
banks including a lot of foreign banks. I am one of those who think GM
and Chrysler could go into chapter 11 and it wouldn't be the end of
the world as we know it. They certainly need a better business plan
than they are showing us to deserve all the money we are talking about
throwing at them.


Harry has a very broad paint brush because it serves his POV.

You are 100% correct in your analysis.

Good on you.

Not a day goes by without one or two significant corporations either
going teats up or coming close to it. Maybe the corporate model we have
is...flawed.

There is nothing wrong with the model except that nobody want to let the
model work by utilizing its self correcting feature. Bad corporations
fail by going bankrupt. Too bad bad employees can suffer the same
correction by being fired.

There are many honest, ethical corps, and they make nearly all the
wheels go round.
When they become publicly traded and in thrall to Wall Street
"analysts" they often become corrupt.
No sense of their product, their community, nor of company "culture."
The concept of "shareholder value" distorts their original purpose and
intent.
There are many here who worked in publicly traded companies and saw it
happen real time.
That original intent and purpose of a corporation is usually tied to a
product(s) and the communities the corps operate in.
Once Wall Street gets their hooks in, it's only about short term
money. That's all. Money.
Didn't used to be like that. Shares were sold to raise capital to
expand and improve the original products of the corp.
Corporations had a set of ethics and culture engendered by the
founders, and carried on by successors.
Most here are old enough to remember when you bought stocks in a good
company to provide you with dividend returns when you retired.
Not to make 15-20% yearly return in share price escalation.
Some dabbled a little side money in speculating, but it wasn't a way
of life.
Globalism and 401k contributions allowed the sharks to get out of
hand.
But I think we've seen the last of that kind of bubble.
It will be interesting to see what kind of turns the 401k program
takes now.
I might be wrong about all that though.
