Monday Stories: Remembering Iwo Jima; Citi Nationalization Talk; Casinos Closing

Imagine this: Globalism - being post infancy now is in childhood - so it leaves a brown paper bag full of - let's say pooch pieces, CDO's and SIV's - on the doorstep of nationalism - rings the bell and runs. nationalism opens the door, takes it inside. At first says- we GOT something- wow - yea! WHAM - discovery. Trillions in cleaning bills later... ?

I don't know the grouping one up from globalize or globalization. We don't have life on other planets rendering that crisis fortunately. Head towards that Marianna Trench - you'll find your 'alien' life. heh. OR Chliean desert- one bacteria there can live on one molecule of co2 for oh ? 10,000 years. This makes it candidate for travel. Better than that - Two chemists - virtually unknown - I happened to observe when reading a national chem magazine - Martin and Zhang - discovered you can REVERSE the Krebs cycle- yes, reverse it - with use sphalerite and co2. Hey, Martin was at Harvard iirc, Zhang is tied in well too, this means you can CREATE the building blocks of life with this unique combination FROM this zinc ore and co2 - how can you beat that too - what a relief ! to me - that's flat out saying - easily - life and potential for life can be flying about as projectiles in space- you through in the Kypier belt and the Oort sphere- Oort has some trillions - often mile sized asteroids - it extends so far around the sun as a debris cloud, I noticed it actually crosses over to our nearest neighboring sun's oort sphere. Lord only knows what's going on right now on such a collision - what market problems. There is creativity and markets for it - and destruction and markets for that. I need to start shopping more globally for business opportunities. all international/global marketers must go - "yeah - we can't figure out why nationalism is still around short of tourism either, the debt crushing them is globally derived"?

Forget nationalizing the banks Let's globalize the nation states ! Always fishing upstream - Truman

instead on nationalizing the banks and car companies, let us nationalize the casinos. At least they have shown they can make money. Most are union so big labor will be happy, and we as owners can give ourselves free drinks as we lose more money. stop the madness not everyone can be made whole.

Semper Fi, Brian. Keep up the good work on FBN.

How many cars does it take in a breakdown of types of high profit versus lower profit cars to reach a break even point? Such as how many SUVs where the profit margin is higher than perhaps a Malibu. ____Given their current sales structure over the past 3 years for car type percentages of sales. How many of each unit type do they need to sell to cover their fixed and variable costs? These are built in different plants which have different costs.

Brian, with the car companies looking like they are more and more in trouble and now looks like they are discussing BK options; what would it take to keep the afloat permanently? Obviously, since they build cars; they have to sell cars to earn a profit.

Thanks Tom .... I posted the entry early this morning before having my first cup of coffee and have no idea why I wrote that. I have fixed. Thank you.

I can tell you Brian here in Warren County,MS taxes have been the biggest complaint. Especially when the board of supervisors raises property taxes. And the City hasn't raised taxes. But on the local am talk show the two hosts,who don't even live here,they're transplanted outsiders,they use the oppertunity to bash the county. Even the mayor has done this on this same morning show. Anyway more people have moved out of Vicksburg into county to avoid thier high tax rates. And already questions are being raised on high nautral gas prices.
