Are you dumbasses ready to celebrate the falling of your $$$

[EHWollmann]

Most of you don't want to admit it, but you did cause it to fall by R-R-ing with BUSH and DICK Chimpanzee in the past 8-yrs. They over-printerd $3 trillion to pay your funky wars, now your own evil comes back to hit you hard. Isn't this completely foolish? Then you blame the whole things on European for wanting you to fail. It's your own shit making you failed. You're good at blaming every body else for your shit, keep blaming on the Illuminati etc.. .....heeheee....... Ain't that GRAND?

Falling dollars are fine by me. Our electronic products oanly have
around 20% parts cost content, and that doesn't seem to change much as
the dollar varies; parts costs keep going *down*. But we have a huge
competitive advantage against European products as the dollar falls.
We can leave export prices alone and crush the competition, or raise
the price in dollars and make a lot more profit. I suppose we'll raise
our european pricing, since we basically have no european competition
anyhow.

What do you do? Does it get better when the dollar falls?

The usenet convention is to bottom post.

And my house is paid for. And US grown food is priced in US dollars,
and is absurdly cheap. There's hardly any European products that most
Americans want, and fewer that we need.

A low dollar might kill Airbus and NXP. It's great for Boeing and
Ford.

USENET has conventions, one of which is to bottom post or to inline post
when appropriate, for clarity.

Even google groups supports that convention with this citation from:

http://groups.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=12348&topic=250

"Summarize what you're following up.

When you click "Reply" under "show options" to follow up an existing
article, Google Groups includes the full article in quotes, with the
cursor at the top of the article. Tempting though it is to just start
typing your message, please STOP and do two things first.
Look at the quoted text and remove parts that are irrelevant.
Then, go to the BOTTOM of the article and start typing there.
Doing this makes it much easier for your readers to get through your
post. They'll have a reminder of the relevant text before your
comment, but won't have to re-read the entire article.
And if your reply appears on a site before the original article does,
they'll get the gist of what you're talking about."

Since it's totally within your power to follow that established,
eminently practical convention, it seems that by failing to do so you're
deliberately trying to annoy and to make life just a little bit harder
for those who read you.

Why would you want to do that?

and just when did you join the Electronic Information Age, Sonny......
For your information Usenet and NewsGroups DO have Accepted Conventions,
and have since NNTP was first defined, back in the ARRPANet Days.....
of course you being in diapers at the time, wouldn't have know that....
These have changed over the years, as bandwidth and technology have

a Moot Point, for the LAST DECADE....

My mistake, $0.24/lb. Tax exempt.

An hour of work at minimum wage can buy more potatoes than most people

You made me look. What we have in our kitchen is Barilla (Headquartered
in Parma, Italy). I was aware that they'd built a large plant up the
road from me in Ames, Iowa back in 1998. I like their products
(especially a spaghetti sauce made with both green and ripe olives) but
didn't know much about their operation. A quick web search turned up

http://www.barillaus.com/home/Pages/faq.aspx

where they say their pasta products (except their tortellini and oven
ready lasagna) are all made in the US. The label on this jar of
spaghetti sauce says "Product of USA", so at least one of the pasta
producers has managed to eliminate the trip to Italy and back.

Methinks there's a fair number of folks in Ames who're pretty happy to
have (imported) European employment.

Hmm... sounds like a business opportunity there.

I bought an Italian cookbook from Williams-Sonoma and tried to make my
own pasta from flour and eggs once. I didn't have the proper pasta
flattener/roller/cutter thingie so I just used a rolling pin and a
knife. The pasta was a bit thicker than recommended. When boiling,
it was amazing... the low thermal conductivity of the dough was such
that the outside was cooked, but the inside wouldn't cook no matter
how long I boiled.

We went to the one in Atlanta in September. It sure was interesting
to see what junk people were buying. I did buy a 1-1/2" Beech butcher
block slab for $100. That was a good deal but the furniture and
cabinets are all crap.

I can live without Swiss chocolate, and you can keep all the beer.

That's one the only thing VT was good at, besides Maple syrup (and

Gotta agree, we are selling lots to Europe this year. (about 1/2 of
the stuff I'm testing is 230V.) Keep the dollar low and we will
continue to sell more.
