^Yeah I hear you guys, and see you in the other threads as well. There is a pretty sweet post your 600 thread going on in the 600RR thread.

 

I made a post like that a year or two ago...

Were on lockdown and if anything looks like its going south of Kittens and rainbows that **** HAVOC LOCKS IT

 

I don't agree. The forum is still running great despite some area seems dead.

 

Maybe Spirit and Jules are right, it is my fault.

My recent thoughts are not bike related, I ride the thing everyday, but I find myself yelling at the TV like a mental patient when I am not on my bike. This is the basis of my latest tirade:

How can Obama's economic stimulus plan of rebuilding infrastructure help this country? I understand people will go to work, but you and I will be paying their salaries for things that we may not need. What is worse is that most of the money these new workers willmake will be exported to China and in return we will get a buttload of G.I Joes with the Kung Foo grip. Won't this simply weaken the dollar more and in turn make everything more expensiveby raising the demand for goods that will be paid for by worthless money thereby creating inflation and stagnant growth (stagflation)? Won't that cause interest rates to rise and then cause another housing problem since all those people building infrastructure will want to live in a new house thinking they have jobs now?

By now I really go berserk and scream like Sam Kinison and tell the TV what to do.

Why don't someone build something in this country that we want. Don't just bailout GM, Ford or Chrysler but build factories for things like Ipods and TVs and toys. These are the things we need to make in this country to reduce cash exports to other countries. Why won't anyone understand that the downfall of this country is our trade imbalance, not fixing potholes. Why not subsidise the manufacturing base in this country to bring in foriegn cash and then fix the roads with that money. It amazes me that there are nothing but retards on my TV and only the voices in my head make any sense.

Sorry, I just had to get that thought out. Goodnight.

 

+1 I hear those voices in your head also. Drives me crazy when all that money gets thrown in the wrong direction. at this pace 2012 Mayan calander may be correct about the end of civilization.

 

Do the voices in your head also tell you that non of the above matters when the oil runs out ... thats the real crisis ahead, isnt it?? ..end of oil equals end of civilistaion as you all knew it ...

I hear where you're coming from Fish
Problem is, the average Non-Asian worker won't sit in a factory 12 hours a day for subsistence wages. THAT's why the stuff comes into other countries cheaply - it can't be made economically in the States or other westernised countries, as the wage requirements are just too high.
I bought a pair of Fila trainers (sports shoes, etc) and paid a lot for them, thinking, oh well, Italian made, nice......checked the tag when I got home
MADE IN CHINA
go figure..............[:@][X(]

 

*there is no oil*
