So some Chick on Rachel Maddow says

[4 t 4]

yea when you go to the store and you want to but a big inch teevee and you don't do it because of credit, that affects jobs (What Kind OF Jobs) Minimum Wage? Fuck you , you can't live on minimum wage especially if McCain is pres. Voted against raising it 19 times in the last 8 years. God Damn It They passed it. They Suck. I don't care if you out there say we all will burn if it is not passed. You don't know that for sure.

[nini]

1. you lost me at 'some chick'

:eyes:

[Lex]

6. yeah, a real brain trust

I agree

[4 t 4]

30. Would it matter to you two if I was a man or a woman when I

posted this? Don't lie. Or if I had 1000 after my name?

[4 t 4]

21. Bite Me!

[nini]

24. More signs of your maturity level

What a profound comeback!! What's even funnier is this was your ONLY reply in your thread. :rofl:

Are you sure you're not a fan of the governor? Your comebacks are on par with her's.


:eyes:

[4 t 4]

36. OMG ! I meant nothing by "some chick" try and pay attention

to the content, Not the wording. Sometimes this place is a nightmare, your all so careful you can't write like you might talk. You both have NEVER used chick? If not what do you use as slang for a female or you only and always use proper english. Bullshit!

[JitterbugPerfume]

27. me too nini

"some chick' sounds disrespectful to all women everywhere

[nini]

34. Hey there

:-)


:hi:

[JitterbugPerfume]

41. Hi

:hi: :loveya:

[riverdeep]

42. What about 'Dixie Chicks'?

What I want to know is why they capitalized it?:shrug:

[ixion]

2. yes, thanks goodness the "bailout" passed...let's all go shopping!

:puke: :argh:

[tridim]

3. I think she was talking about jobs associated with the credit.

AKA banks.

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. Let me list them for you

Engineers who desing the crap

Line assembly people (granted in China but still)

Drivers

Dock workers

sailors on commercial ships

dock workers in the US

Driver to central distribution center

Stockist as Central distribution center

Driver to the store

Load dock personnel

Store personnel

Not all of them are minimum wage by the way and in an ideal world all of them should be union jobs,.. but you wanted a list, there you go

[Geek_Girl]

8. Don't forget those wonderful jobs related to the banking industry that gave you that credit

and charged 25% interest.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Of course, and what happens when those folks

all loose their jobs?

Care to tell me what happens to local and regional economies, let alone national economies? For the record I'd rather have ALL of them in the US, but that is another matter

[girl gone mad]

23. We've lost entire industries..

more vital than Wall Street Banks.

Somehow we pulled through.

[nadinbrzezinski]

29. a sound banking system is not vital to the financial health of the nation

ok....

You know at this point you truly have crossed into fantasy land....

And I know what whatever you say can be truly be ignored

After all a healthy banking system is critical in getting the capital to START a business.

I guess it is time to either take a leap into the looking glass or ask if you actually meant what you typed...

If you did... WOW... JUST WOW

[itsrobert]

10. And there's more

The Advertising Agency who employ numerous "workers" who do the advertising for the TV/Manufacture

The actors who are in the commercials to advertise the tv

The production crew who shoots the commercial

The people who sell food to all these workers as they break from their job.

It goes on and on.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. Yeah I wanted to keep it in the direct distribution chain

after that it gets WAYYYY tooo complex for many folks

[GeorgeGist]

18. Those folks need to find employment ...

doing something useful.

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. And that would be?

[AllieB]

25. On DU there is a political purity test regarding occupations.

If you work for coporations, or heaven forbid in finance, you are not ideological pure. :sarcasm:

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. I'm aware... add to that the cops

and other nebulous guv'ment workers....

:hi:

[AllieB]

32. I work in Finance so I'm screwn also.

I guess I should sell my house at a loss, give up all worldly comforts, and go work an entry-level job for a non-profit. I'm sure the companies that holds my mortgage and my grad school loan will be understanding. ;-)

[Lex]

5. The people who make the tv? ship the tv? stock the tv? sell the tv?

:shrug:

[Geek_Girl]

7. Jobs in China were tv's are mad

nt

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

9. i saw her, and I was amazed at how out of touch she was

commenting at how car sales were down, because of lack of credit, maybe so, but in the real world where I live car sales are down because no one wants a SUV or huge pickup truck when gas is over $4 a gallon, and wages are depressed, and insurance costs are over the moon, and everyone is living in fear of being laid off.

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Not everything out there is an SUV

but I am positive you knew that

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

16. yes of course, and is is not only the lack of credit

that is causing the lack of auto sales.

The inflation that is working its way thru the system (price of gas) is causing everything to go up, and people are just strapped for cash. That is a far bigger reason, imho.

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. and you'd be partially wrong, depending on where in the country

but the credit crunch is real

You do know the state of Massachusetts didn't get credit for this quarter?

[Stinky The Clown]

14. You tryin_ to pass?

15. They should stop the switch to digital in February '09

One reason people are buying new TVs is to get digital TVs before the analog signals are stopped.

All of those come from the Far East and contribute to our trade deficit.

Hardly any are designed in the US (except maybe for the advertizing and graphics on the carton), none are made here, and the parts content from the US is very low.

[4lbs]

37. Once the switch to digital is made, the FCC plans to sell the analog bandwidth...

to telecom companies. That's more money into federal coffers.

Oh wait, but, if there is no banking system because of a financial collapse that no one did anything about, where are those telecom companies going to get the loans to purchase the analog bandwidth?

So, then, the billions of dollars that the FCC is counting on from the sale of analog bandwidth is no longer there.

See how everything is interconnected in some way to banking, and the financial industry in general?

[riverdeep]

44. I think the last American company to make TV's was Zenith.

We used to have a set in the basement. One of those big wooden models that looked like it had drawers hidden in there you could pull out. Lasted about 18 years. Actually had it repaired at 12 years by an American repairman. Now, 4 years and toss it.

[hfojvt]

17. I guess it does not matter to minimum wage workers if they have a job

of course, $700 billion would create 10,000,000 minimum wage jobs for the next five years.

[Beregond2]

26. I can't make heads or tails out of your post.

[doyourealize1]

31. Minimum wage hurts small businesses

Hell, not even Walmart gives minimum wage. In fact they proposed increasing minimum wage.

Why? It helps them eliminate competition from local businesses. Minimum wage hurts your mom and pop stores, not Walmart.

[AmyCamus]

33. "chick"?

Rhymes with Prick.

[4 t 4]

38. Yea, Hehehehhehehehhe I'm sorry I'm so immature n/t

[riverdeep]

43. Our economy is pretty much based on consumption.

We don't make anything, except questionable financial instruments, so get out there and feed the consumption monster! It's really your patriotic doodie.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

46. apparently someone is making

wooden arrows for children somewhere in the USA

[Marr]

45. Wouldn't it make more sense to see that peoples' wages were high enough

that they could buy all this consumer crap with cash, rather than credit?
