Eastbound posted the link, we merely pointed out what was there.
From a website you recommended in your comment #249.
These guys aren't very bright.
Thanks again. Mr. Michael Medved's derogation of the Y2k threat started this. It was all a fraud, he charged.
To be fair, there was quite a hullabaloo raised over electrical systems and such. That turned out to be unwarranted, I believe.
The worldwide total is almost implausible. I know that some (most?) U.S. entities bundled other changes with Y2k remediation. So a lot of additional work got done.
You're probably right. As with any crisis, the tactic is often to bury a bunch of other things in the number to qualify for scarce budget dollars. Additionally, I'm sure some systems were just totally scrapped for brand new systems. Regardless, the numbers are huge. If the number was only half, it would be $100 billion. Still a whole lot of money.
BTW, I've always thought Medved was a just another useful idiot.
About my Kelso question to you. Comment? Or do you choose to continue to obfuscate?
Yeah, man, anybody can see that.
Kelso?
That's a very serious matter, 1rudeboy. I hope someone was able to decode the readings. I'm sure there was more to those poems than a mere "I buried Paul".
Thanks for that link! A lot of interesting tidbits to ponder. Maybe We have some current or former *shareholders* on this forum?
Excellent grading. Those were devastating...
I wonder if and when we see Mark Steyn finally weigh in and disparage the SPP...and the President's curious ideas about sovereignty...for even close to the same concerns...if he will suddenly become personna non grata as well among the supposed keepers of the flame.
Yes, Kelso.
You know, the timely decision that opened the way for private property to be stolen by the North American Homeland road builders.
Second, if TTC 35 is built as a PPP, the State of Texas, not the investors, owns the road and the land. The private sector operator leases the road and the land.
Wanting to destroy the Union must be a family tradition. ;>
But it's good for the 'markets', don'tcha know.

I heard he was a regular at Miss Hatties whorehouse.
BTW, it is Wiki, not Wicki
Yes, I know. But are you going to deny that the TTC is part of the NAU transportation plan again?
Which TTC are you talking about?
Yes, I know. But thanks for the correction again.
Old Ben? It was mentioned somewhere that he may have been complicit in Lincoln's assassination.
'Union Busters' takes on a whole new meaning, huh? How's that for a double-intendre?
