Dennis Kucinich has been disenfranchised from debating tonight by A SUPREME COURT. GE has obstructed OUR election process. What will YOU do to protest this outrage of judicial and corporate injustice?

The primitives have no idea how impossible it will be to boycott GE. Ge is the second largest corp on the planet IIRC.

I hope the DUmmies will never need an MRI scan.  It seems like in many hospitals I've been in, the MRI machines are all GE (and a few Siemens, but not as many as the GE version).  :lmao:

Good point most medical equipment has the little GE symbol on it somewhere.

The DUmmies are giving up most motion pictures (GE is big in the movie studios), the Sci-Fi channel, Telemundo, USA, and that Keith Overwrought guy they love so much.

I am sure the leadership at GE called an emergency meeting to figure out how to deal with this....not. It cracks me up when they stamp their little feet and act like they matter.... :mental: :evillaugh: :tongue:

What the heck does GE have to do with "a supreme court"? Did they threaten to take away all the court's light bulbs if they didn't rule the right way?

speaking of.. have you seen how high gold is right now? damn, i wished i'd have listened to those commercials! :-)

and then those other commercials about the sunken ship and helping to finance it and possibly make some money off of it. well, guess who did? John Edwards! Yep.. he made a killing on that deal. But its all hung up in litigation now I think...

anyhow, how does gold get so high when we are headed into a 'recession' ...? what am i missing?

Precious metal, with gold being the Gold Standard, is theoretically what the foundation of all economies (printed monies) is based upon.  I say theoretically, because it isn't reality.  The other theory is, when economic troubles are a-brewin', owning gold will save you when the bottom falls out.   The irrational thinking behind this gold craze is, as paper money will be as worthless as used toilet paper, someone will still trade you a loaf of bread for a bar of gold.  This makes sense only if gold tastes better than bread, which has yet to be proven.

So, as recession infects and temperatures rise, which is a self-feeding disease and symptom, gold becomes attractive to those who think it will always have special value, which indeed it may, but I don't count on it (they are already manufacturing real diamonds).  Since gold is a limited mineral, in both amount available and in what is left to be mined, and since more people want to buy and hold it because of recession/depression/Armageddon fears, the free market reacts as it should.  The price of gold goes up.

ah, i see. makes sense..  i recall we went off the gold standard, in what, the 70s? late 60s? i cant remember.  economics is definitely not my strong suit..
