Had been using that as a print line test in Objective C,
NSLog(@”ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US”);
But dropped the class, couldn’t keep up with 2 classes and prepare for the coming inflation. Never heard it before.

The phrase and game footage used in the meme come from the 1989 side-scrolling arcade Zero Wing. The quote is from the introduction sequence of the game in which the player’s enemy, the leader of CATS, appears.
Both Rush and Levin point out how amnesty does not bring the Hispanic votes, and give stats/percentages of votes from Reagan on...BUT, isn’t the Hispanic population growing at a faster rate than the White population? So, I think their votes are needed more than ever....every year.
I am beginning to believe that when Barry and his top cabinet says they “DON’T KNOW” — they are telling the truth and that is the problem. THEY DON’T KNOW
They are letting the second level appointee, patronage bureaucrats who are mostly goofball lib types are running everything.
Obama and his staff want to be the rock star with the perks, and are lazy and unconcerned.
Wow! $1.79 per hour per employee is damn expensive. $1.79 x 40 hours x 47.5 weeks = $3,401 per year per employee.
Now let’s do a quick extrapolatoin in the cost of a car....
On average 3 levels in the supply chain
10-12,000 parts per car
On average there is 12-15 direct labor heads per shift per part
1.25 Indirect to support them
A typical company produces 40K cars a week in the US
(12 DL + 15 Ind) x 3 supply levels x 10,000 parts = $810,000 / (40,000 / 3 shifts) = $810,000 / 13,334 = $61 per car
That does not seem like much, but the reality is that this particular company only makes a profit on average of $600 per car. So, this equates to more than 10% of their profits that are already at a paltry 3-4%!
Look for people to go “galt” in regards to Obamacare, to protest against it by not buying insurance or paying the fine.
Then you have to realize that this same company already pays $1,200 per car in tax (yes, that is 2x the profit) to the govt.
$61/$1,200 = 5.1%
Tihs is a 5% tax increase on all economic activity!
This was my original response to the health care. I kept the draft and will be reminding myself of it periodically:
*********************
When this “health care for all” crap passes, right now the legislation states that it will be illegal to sell private policies over the date of passage. It also says that HSA’s will no longer be allowed. That means that my current policy will no longer be allowed and neither I nor my employer will be allowed to privately purchase an alternative.
I will not accept the “public option” that I will be dictated to join. I will not give the government control over my physical body. I will not pay their fines, I will not surrender to the impending warrant for my arrest. When they knock on my door, I will not answer. When they kick it in, I will make the news.
How’s that for unification, libtards? You loons are currently legislating my death. I will chose the terms and I will bring as many of you along as possible!
*********************************************
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security”
BINGO!! There will only be ONE plan. It will be a standardized Minimal Coverage Plan (MCP) and if you want to buy from a “private” insurance company, those companies’s policies MUST cover all items spelled out in the MCP. Problem right now? The MCP has not been developed YET!!
Businesses will have to choose between providing all employees with something equivalent to the MCP or pay the fine. Now, if a policy which covers all items in the MCP but costs $4000 per year per employee and the cost of the fine is $3000 per year per employee, what do you think businesses are going to do? They will pay the $3000 fine. That means that YOU and I will then have to pay for a policy that meets the MCP and costs us maybe $5000 per year. The other item in this bill states that once you are enrolled in an Exchange plan, you can NEVER go back to an employer plan!!
This Obamacare stuff is really starting to scare the crap out of me, as if it didn’t already.
I just used a calculator provided by an organization that SUPPORTS Obamacare.
It said that with my current (modest) salary, if my employer did not provide health insurance (and what if they drop it, as so many have?), I would be paying 12% of my gross salary for healthcare, a sum larger than my rent payment. I would not be eligible for the subsidy Rush mentioned, as the income figure is for a family of four.
Do you realize what a killer that would be to the economy? How much otherwise disposable income would be taken out of consumers pockets in order to fund health care?
Please post this link. I would like to share with some people.
