I need to buy me Subaru, it needs money. The car has to be here in 2 years, costing £20,000.

I don't have time, I'm 26 and have anxiety and breathing problems. Chest pains too.

And think about this folks..the government is saying this bailout will help to avoid a "recession".
What the heck have we been living through this past year ? I know..a "softening of the economy".

we could trade food for oil, and everything else


Actually we are very good at growing food and have the land and resources to do it. I think it is a good I deal to push some of our population toward farming one again. Plus since India and china are plow over a lot of there rice fields and their water quality is crap. We should have about a 2 billion person market to sell to.



Now guys know some of you are saying that we are very early in this meltdown. Yes I know this. But even in even in downtimes there are opportunities out there. though we may have to wait to realize some of the ideas.

If anything just take this as a fun thread and throw out some ideas.

You know I do not understand how OPEC gained so much power

They did not drill that oil they have, WE DID

those rich oil sheiks would have nothing if not for us

When we first went in there, why did have to make them our equals?

That's why we invented Ativan,Prozac etc. You see movie, the U.S. has invented a few things y'all can use straight from the home of psych issues Los Angeles and New York! Worry, who needs to worry when we have such a wonderful pharmacology system here!
Load up a candy dish or Pez dispenser (I suggest the Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck ones) and put a smile on that face!!!
Or if you are a "natural" kind of guy you can latch on to some of that S.F. green from Humbolt county or Hawaii....

We actually used to feed the world until corporations and the govt. got involved. This nation WAS the breadbasket with hundreds of family concerns that are now wholly owned by corporations and are now payed to leave the land fallow or grow energy crops. It's amazing how much they pay for corps. NOT to grow anything...

I once thought about investing in medicine, but I read that company takes the money and thats it, no return. Medicine stocks are a real bastard to keep track of.
