Comments:
<0> eventually that bodes for a labor shortage
<1> Where is there "low cost housing" that is $1500/mo?
<2> Free that's what I am saying, I think that will be problematic
<3> nahh, the stores and restaurants just close
<0> and if we dont outsource or import labor we are screwed
<1> PFM no, they don't
<3> They do here
<1> PFM maybe, but it sounds like your entire area is being vacated
<1> PFM but it's not the case that the reastraunts in more $ parts of towns will close :P
<4> there is no place in urban america where the poor and rich don't live pretty close together
<1> in fact, reastraunts stores TRY to be in the more $ parts of town
<0> I told my kids last night.. Listen. this is important, for me I didnt need such a technical education, I could make as good a money as college grads in construction. BUt I said it will be more difficult in the next generation, You need to get educated in math and english, reading and writing. Most important skills.
<2> Free yeah I can see that happening pretty easily, not to mention can social security hold that to have 1 worker payiing for 2 retirees?
<1> as that is where peopl are who tend to spend money
<3> No, we have lots of professionals moving in, lots of Mcmansions going up, 20 million dollar homes
<5> can you smoke switchgr***?
<0> Rebec, Social security is destined unless a miracle happens to go bankrupt.
<1> panini you can smoke anything that will create smoke :P
<1> panini dunno if you would want to or not though
<4> panini: you can but I can't
<2> Free that's what I say but people usually tell me I am being a pessimist, I think it's being a realist
<0> Realistically we cant support it, and its sad that the democrats in congress like school children gave out a Wh000p when Bush said nothign w*** done on social security, they cheered.
<0> But when they were through acting juvenile he looked at them and said. But the PROBLEM has not gone away
<0> And so I want a bi partisan commission to make reccomendations (Because in a political year it would be useless for him to push any specific legislation)
<4> patient
<2> Free I agree
<0> But I was rather shocked Rebec, when I Saw them jump up and down like children.
<3> The few stores that are open have long lines, go into a store like K-mart or the grocery, and there is just one register open, if we ever do have a bird flu outbreak, wouldn't take long before stores couldn't deliver food or have workers to work them
<6> Why don't they grow tarulla yeast for it?
<2> Free so was I. I thought that's something to applaud? doiing nothing?
<6> switchgr***? I had heard of bio-ful from corn, sorgum, Johnson Gr***. Never heard of this one
<1> PFM here they are installing self checkout lanes where 1 employee can watch 4 lanes instead of 1:1
<0> Rebec, right and its the single most shock to the future fiscal solvency of the nation
<1> plus, you don't have to deal with moron clerks and baggers
<6> I missed seeing the speech. I had to re-arrange my sock drawer
<2> Free I was really upset that they jumped up and down I thought why are they so smug
<0> Rebec, there is no single issue which will damage the federal deficit and make us look like liars too than social security 40years from now.
<0> in fact, people just will not get social security
<6> that sounds interesting. I never heard about that in the media and no indication of it in the trasncript of course
<2> Free I know, I always say social security won't be around when I'm ready to retire
<0> within 20 years it will be means tested and only the poor will get it
<2> my mother tells me I am over reacting
<1> when I was a kid, i thought "State of the Union" was a prize they gave to the best state each year
<0> No you are not overreacting. Its the single most serious fiscal issue which needs to be dealt with
<0> the war budget is nothing compared to this
<0> I mean literally not even a 1000th of a percent
<0> 1 person will be supporting as many as 10 retired people, Impossible.
<2> I think it's a huge issue, especially because it also addresses concerns of supporting disabled people etc as well
<2> not just supporting the retired one person will be supporting 10 retired person and probably 5 disabled people
<2> would be my guess
<0> So the good news is if you are taking care of your own retirement, good, if you are not you will be on welfare not social security and tight welfare.
<2> and only for 5 years it sounds like
<1> my plan is just not to ever "retire"
<7> My retirement plan is to commit seppuku when I can no longer work :P
<0> Social security was never intended nor described as welfare, it was making sure people put away money for reirement or disability.
<8> heh
<0> I hope the president is a Democrat when the **** finally hits the fan.
<1> ever->never
<0> But after the war because democrats couldnt win this war.
<8> thats pretty much the way it is now, SS doesn't really pay that great to begin with
<9> Free: Why?
<0> Well, Got to run.
<2> Free I have to agree
<2> ok take care
<7> KoBushi, actually it was correct the first time
<7> "my plan is just not to never retire" makes no sense.
<1> oh yeah
<7> Double negative.
<0> Becuase the blame should go to who is at fault and who refused to be realistic and honest about social security this last year and since i was kid they lied about it.
<1> nm I read it wrong the 2nd time lol
<1> sorry I just ate and I'm sleepy now
<7> <-- Feels like an *** for even mentioning other people's grammar when his ****s too :P
<2> Kobushi happens sometimes
<0> Republicans were warning people 35 years ago,. and before that. My political memory can only go back so far..
<0> Got to go
<0> Later.
<2> later free
<0> Later rebec!
<0> and all!
<3> well, hopefully we can have a plague of some kind, that would help SS
<1> yeah but then insurance and medicals costs would go up even more
<2> PFM I thought that Philp Morris rep should not have been reprimanded for encouraging people to smoke on the grounds that it'd help SS if they die younger
<10> PFM is looking for the bird flu to kill off the baby boomers
<2> kobushi but they will go up anyway
<1> my DSL router that sprint gave me has been crashing lately
<1> starting to piss me off
<10> We told them to give you a faulty router
<2> did you call them?
<11> maybe your neighbors are all tapped into it
<2> bud there's that too
<1> nah the building I'm in takes up a whole city block, I have no neighbors
<2> neighbors in the building
<1> none
<2> ok
<3> well, if there ever was a plague outbreak of some kind, I don't think hospitals would be of any use
<1> excapt occasionally, it's used for storage
<1> PFM not for the plague, but a plague doesn't stop other medical needs
<2> PFM plague is treatable
<2> and plague still naturally occurs I was just reading about that
<3> true, but if we lose half the doctors and nurses....
<2> Bill Frist talks about Plague in his book
<1> plague, or plaque?
<1> one is much more severe than the other
<2> PFM there are nurses that specialize in infection control and would be called in to take measures to prevent infection. Kobushi plaGue
<1> :P
<9> Rebec: Is that before, or after the chapter on "Diagnosis by 30 minute biased video"?
<2> Astro, there's no such chapter
<3> Stores don't have stuff stocked in the back like they used to, so if you have half the workers and have the truckers sick, there will be a bigger problem than in new orleans
<8> what a ****
<2> at least not in this edition
<2> it's an interesting book though
<2> PFM that's true
<1> PFM yeah JIT schemes are detrimental when the system has a kink in it
<2> Kobushi I always argue against JIT in my finance cl***, my professor thinks I am nuts lol
<1> and are not suited for emergency needs
<2> I hate JIT
<2> something can always go wrong
<3> doesn't take much to make the domino's start falling
<1> I agree, the small increase in cash on-hand from JIT doesn't justify the potential rsk
<1> risk*
<7> JIT=?
<2> Kobushi now if only you were in my cl***es
<1> Just In Time
<2> PO Just In Time inventory model, you have JUST what you need and get more Just IN TIME
<2> for the next need
<7> Rebec, ah.
<7> Rebec, that works for a lot of things.
<7> I wouldn't want a grocery store that worked like that though.
<2> since I am working on a MBA I am learning all kinds of crap but Kobushi is the first person outside of my cl*** to actually discuss such subjects with me
<2> PO I think it's a bad idea in general....there's also LIFO and FIFO as models
<7> But for things like 7-11 where store space is more valuable than store room space... sure.
<2> PO sure unless there is a trucking problem or something and they can't get more stuff
<7> Octopus Doctor!
<4> PO!
<12> Rebec .. I thought you were in nursing school
<7> Rebec, well if I was running a store like that I'd have several of each item in the store front... so that things won't be on the brink.
<12> I'm confused :)
<2> OcDoc aren't you working today
<8> heh
<2> Comet I am too, it's a long story. I just applied to another nursing program though so maybe someday
<2> I should have my degree by now
<4> Rebec: slow morning ... between patients
<13> i refuse to work while bush is in office
<1> Rebec but there are plenty of examples of JIT failing catostrophically ; especially due to natural disasters
<2> OcDoc cool more time for me!
<2> Kobushi or even a strike
<2> I think it's too risky
<12> Rebec what kind of carreer is your goal?
<1> Rebec plus, there is no REAL benefit from JIT except for lowered stoage space costs
<4> oops ... gotta enter a disability exam
<7> KoBushi, well, using less space for storage and more for other things is also a benefit.
