Easily Understandable Explanation of Derivative Markets Heidi is the proprietor of a bar in Detroit . She realizes that virtually all of her customers are unemployed alcoholics and, as such, can no longer afford to patronize her bar. To solve this problem, she comes up with new marketing plan that allows her customers to drink now, but pay later. She keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the customers loans). Word gets around about Heidi's "drink now, pay later" marketing strategy and, as a result, increasing numbers of customers flood into Heidi's bar. Soon she has the largest sales volume for any bar in Detroit . By providing her customers' freedom from immediate payment demands, Heidi gets no resistance when, at regular intervals, she substantially increases her prices for wine and beer, the most consumed beverages. Consequently, Heidi's gross sales volume increases massively. A young and dynamic vice-president at the local bank recognizes that these customer debts constitute valuable future assets and increases Heidi's borrowing limit. He sees no reason for any undue concern, since he has the debts of the unemployed alcoholics as collateral. At the bank's corporate headquarters, expert traders figure a way to make huge commissions, and transform these customer loans into DRINKBONDS, ALKIBONDS and PUKEBONDS. These securities are then bundled and traded on international security markets. Naive investors don't really understand that the securities being sold to them as AAA secured bonds are really the debts of unemployed alcoholics. Nevertheless, the bond prices continuously climb, and the securities soon become the hottest-selling items for some of the nation's leading brokerage houses. One day, even though the bond prices are still climbing, a risk manager at the original local bank decides that the time has come to demand payment on the debts incurred by the drinkers at Heidi's bar. He so informs Heidi. Heidi then demands payment from her alcoholic patrons, but being unemployed alcoholics they cannot pay back their drinking debts. Since, Heidi cannot fulfill her loan obligations she is forced into bankruptcy. The bar closes and the eleven employees lose their jobs. Overnight, DRINKBONDS, ALKIBONDS and PUKEBONDS drop in price by 90%. The collapsed bond asset value destroys the banks liquidity and prevents it from issuing new loans, thus freezing credit and economic activity in the community. The suppliers of Heidi's bar had granted her generous payment extensions and had invested their firms' pension funds in the various BOND securities. They find they are now faced with having to write off her bad debt and with losing over 90% of the presumed value of the bonds. Her wine supplier also claims bankruptcy, closing the doors on a family business that had endured for three generations, her beer supplier is taken over by a competitor, who immediately closes the local plant and lays off 150 workers. Fortunately though, the bank, the brokerage houses and their respective executives are saved and bailed out by a multi-billion dollar no-strings attached cash infusion from their cronies in Government. The funds required for this bailout are obtained by new taxes levied on employed, middle-class, non-drinkers who have never been in Heidi's bar. Now, do you understand? And with no outstanding debts, Heidi opens up a Therapeutic Workmen's Comp and Rehabilitation Center with Government money, only now she tabs the drinks and pays herself a handsome salary from the funds, and the government picks up the cost of refurbishing the inventory. Heidi now also furnishes wholesome meals of soup and sandwiches (government surples Peanut Butter and day old bread) and is compensated with food stamps which she turns in for cash like any other food retailer. AMERICA....WHAT A COUNTRY!!!! |

Federal regulations cost businesses $1.75 trillion September 24th, 2010, 3:20 am · 4 Comments · posted by Jan Norman, small-business columnist Share9 Federal regulations cost U.S. businesses $1.75 trillion a year, 59% more than in 2005, according to a new report from the Office of Advocacy in the U.S. Small Business Administration. “Had every U.S. household paid an equal share of the federal regulatory burden, each would have owed $15,586 in 2008,” said the report, The Impact of Regulatory Costs on Small Firms. “The federal regulatory burden exceeds by 50% private spending on health care.” The cost per employee is much higher on the smallest businesses — $10,585, the report, says (click on chart for a larger view): http://jan.ocregister.com/2010/09/24/federal-rules-cost-u-s-firms-1-75-trillion/45704/ “The research shows that small businesses continue to bear the disproportionate share of the federal regulatory burden,” the report says. The SBA report only calculates federal regulations. A study last year by the Governor’s Office of Small Business Advocate, said state regulations cost California businesses $493 billion a year, or $134,122 per business. It did not break out the costs per employee. The federal study says says its calculations of costs are 13 to 17 times higher than the Office of Management and Budget because the latter agency uses only major rules adopted within the past 10 years. “Limiting the analysis to this time period omits some of the most costly federal regulations, such as (those) stemming from the Clean Air Act…” the SBA report says. A similar federal study for the SBA Office of Advocacy in 2005 concluded that federal regulations cost businesses $1.1 trillion. The cost-per-employee was $7,647 for firms with fewer than 20 employees; $5,411 for businesses with 20 to 499 employees; and $5,282 for companies with 500+ employees. Other findings for 2010: * Environmental regulations are disproportionately heavy on small business, 364% higher than on large companies. The 2010 report used economic regulations estimates from the World Bank, which uses a broader definition, than the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development used in the 2005 report. That difference helps explain why the cost of economic regulations more than doubled in the 5 years to $5,153 per employee for all firms. The 2010 report goes to great pains to acknowledge the value of federal regulations, a concession not made in previous reports. “Regulations are needed to provide the rules and structure for societies to properly function.” |

This one is even worse for me. There's so damn many things broken. How the hell are they gonna get fixed? We have cut way back on watering our trees, and our water bill is still over 700.00 per month. If we watered the way we used to it would be over $1,500 per month! Stuff like this is paving the way for more imported fruit & avocado's that have been sprayed with toxic pesticides not approved in our country...

Sorry guys I am really angry about this right now... I'll say this then leave you alone... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the way it is from my view... They said our Country needed to produce our own automobiles. It would be important in times of war. History has proven this theory... Some should look back to the dust bowl period to see what we may have in store for our future. No water, no food, everything here will turn to dust without water... Everyday... We are producing food for people that gets sold & eaten here... In our Country.. Not usually shipped elsewhere... AMERICAN FARMERS ARE BEING PRICED OUT OF THE MARKET! Some simple questions: 1. What is our World/Country gonna be like when USA farmers cant afford to farm? 2. Food then has to be imported from other countries, right? Sprayed with God only knows what. Importing pests that are not indigenous and we have no natural predator to help the farmers that can still afford to farm! You are what you eat, right? 3. What if most of our food ends up coming from South America? which already has a fantastic history of salmonella poisoning in our Country ... (Good thing China is a consumer nation... Look what happened with baby formula and dog food there... Babies Died from ingesting that formula. Dogs died from eating food made from Chinese products.) 4. What if we go to war with South America? Where is the majority of our food gonna come from? What is our "new" food source when farmers here cant afford to farm? We are currently at a time of somewhat favorable water tables here in California. We produce millions and millions of tons of consumable food for our country. Now, farmers are left with no choice. We can't afford to water our trees & crops. Some of that is because of a 1996 socialist proposition that mandated that everyone... Everyone.. Residential or farm had to pay the same water rate! It couldn't be fair otherwise. I call BS... What good is watering a lawn? Who is gonna eat that?

"What good is watering a lawn? Who is gonna eat that?" That's why I promote rock/gravel,, yards/landscaping for residential homes and commercial business. Save the water! My last employer spent about $200 per week to keep a 70' X 20' front lawn green and trimmed. For what? 50,000 cars per day could drive by the green grass front,,and not look at it or give-a-crap about it. Same with motor oil... I say eliminate all oil for regular automotive engines, and only sell full synthetic oil. Fill all new cars with full syn also from the plant. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ posted 06-01-2014 10:37 PM by 'Fish This message has been edited by ALLEY CAT on 06-02-2014 at 08:50 AM |

Absolutely No Profiling! Pause a moment, reflect back, and take the following multiple choice test. These events are actual events from history.. 1. 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by: 2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by : 3. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by: 4. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by: 5. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by: 6. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by: 8. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by: 9. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by: 10. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by: 11. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take out the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by: 12. In 2002 the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against: 13. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by: No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people..They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

How about two of the most important things in life... Walking and Happy Hour...
This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $7000 per month. The only reason I would take up walking is so that I could hear heavy breathing again. I have to walk early in the morning,before my brain figures out what I'm doing.. Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. You could run this over to your friends |

Hospital Know-it-all At the end of the tax year, the IRS office sent an inspector to audit the books of a local hospital. While the IRS agent was checking the books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, “I notice you buy a lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there’s too little left to be of any use?” “Good question,” noted the CFO. “We save them up and send them back to the bandage company and every now and then they send us a free box of bandages.” “Oh,” replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way. “What about all these plaster purchases? What do you do with what’s left over after setting a cast on a patient?” “Ah, yes,” replied the CFO, realizing that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. “We save it and send it back to the manufacturer, and every now and then they send us a free package of plaster.” “I see,” replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all CFO. “Well,” he went on, “What do you do with all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?” “Here, too, we do not waste,” answered the CFO. “What we do is save all the little foreskins and send them to the IRS Office, and about once a year they send us a complete d1ck.” |
