Wish I had time to get into the bill. What is your opinion? Sounds like you are up on it a lot more than many here.
Larri, I been up all nite waitin’ for this.
Larri?
And he is a real expert on immigration.
More so than thousands of politicians spouting off every day. Kabar understands the repercussions of policy and what illegal immigration has done to us financially...
It’s a damn shame they don’t understand 1/10 of what he knows.
How do you like that? It’s this high due to the good SMTS FReeper participation rather than anything said on any of the shows...
Sometimes people privately chastise me because there isn’t enough coverage of what’s being said on the shows, especially when a guest is someone we want to hear from (Ted Cruz or Sarah Palin, for example). Even McCain, if he says something especially stupid or backstabbing enough is worth reporting on. That’s one reason I encourage show reporting and issue reporter badges. Still, this week’s shows had nothing worth reporting.
Nevertheless, y’all rose to the challenge and lookit—over 200 posts!
We are supposed to be shutting Gitmo down, and no one on the continental US seems to be willing to keep these guys in their prisons. The Army chief of staff (I think was his title) said the remaining prisoners are mostly hard cases, some of whom should be in prison forever. What should we do with them, realistically?
If your only energy source was solar then nights could be a problem, but if you can connect to the grid and be paid for power you produce like they do in Germany and a few places in the US, then it could make sense. Here you can find a lot of information on watts produced per solar panel:
https://www.google.com/search?num=50&newwindow=1&safe=off&site=&source=hp&q=how+many+watts+are+produced+by+a+solar+panel&oq=how+many+watts+produced+&gs_l=hp.1.0.0i22i30l2.1443.14211.0.19783.33.25.2.3.3.0.472.3856.0j4j5j3j2.14.0.msedr...0...1c.1.60.hp..14.19.3902.0.SeNg5EXy8Nw
A friend told me that about 250 watts per panel under ideal conditions, and that seems right from what I see at these sites. Thus about 80 panels could provide 20KW, this is considerably less than 2 acres. In Germany, which I’m sure has a lot less sun than your location, the farmers put panels elevated and with spaces between rows. Then they grow crops underneath, and if it were very sunny like in the south, then some protection from excessive sun exposure for more tender plants would be the positive result. For small uses like the room with the bed, batteries can store power for later use.
As someone reported in this thread in the 150 to 200 comments, a lot of democrats have money and want to keep it so they might favor giving Wall Street free reign. I don’t know how these particular democrats lean, that is why I listed them plus the areas they represent.
I do know that Countrywide Financial’s CEO was paid $140,000,000 in 2007, but in 2008 had cut to around $100,000,000. Lehman Brothers CEO went from around $40M to above $70M in the same period. On the other hand Citibank’s CEO cut from many $millions down to $1M in 2008. But Goldman Sachs also went up from roughly the same figures as Lehman Brothers. Then again they had pull at the White House. So we see Countrywide and Lehman are gone, but Citi and GS survived. However, in 2008 when GS stockholders learned that the top 3 executives all were paid over $65million, they rebelled and over 40% voted for a stockholder’s advisory on executive compensation. The next year the CEO salary was down to a dainty $25M. Subsequently it became very hard to find that information.
Google “Forbes CEO Compensation” for years that interest you. Up to about 2010 it was easy to do research there. Companies could be compared within categories like Drugs and Medical, Energy, Money and Banking. Then that feature was done away with and companies were listed from 500th down to first, with only a few names per page. I guess someone didn’t want us peons to be able to see what was going on with ease.
Bottom line, I think too big to fail should be broken up like the oil companies were a hundred years ago. Regular banks and financial services companies should be separate, and commissions should not be structured so that the salesman and his bosses run off with their money with no penalty for structuring and selling instruments that are bogus and known to be dishonest.
Exactly we have a huge brain trust here. dc needs our kniwledge badly.
From what I have read the banks, especially citi-group are so tied to the nwo they will never be broken up or allowed to fail.
That’s about what I thought.
At night, he could confine the cooling to just the bedroom with a window unit.
Otherwise, he could sleep in the bathtub, with some nice soothing cold water.
Well, then I guess Lehman Brothers, Wachovia, Worldwide, and several others were not so tied.
I guess it’s kind of like 0bama saying he’s listening to those people who didn’t vote this past election for his new mandate to do what he wants to do.
Brent Bozell has an article this morning saying, in effect, “I’m not Charlie”. I couldn’t agree more. I support their right to publish what they want but I’m not going to support such a liberal rag in any other way.
