nice scenario. i'm surprised everyone didn't jump on the opportunity to put more cash in the company's coffers. I bet they stuck it to the man and donated the unholy premium they recieved to charity!

I put "Real Estate Bubble" into search and this came up in the first thread I clicked on: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/834016/Re_Frannie_and_Freddie I can continue searching but why bother. I added the bold

If you believe (like J_B ?) that the current financial crisis was the result of Wall Street crooks run amok fueled by a spectacularly unreasonable real estate bubble it would seem that much of your real estate empire is the result of a criminal enterprise in which most of the country was swept up. Clearly your accumulation of these assets is part of the misallocation problem which you diagnosed here: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/992769/3 Perhaps unrelated: Years ago while interviewing new engineering grads for possible employment my father began to hear more and more declarations from interviewees that they did not want to work on defense related projects because of “ethical reasons”. Finally my father began to explain that defense projects had significantly increased the demand for engineers and thus engineering salaries in generally. He then would ask if for “ethical reasons” they would wish to work at a lower than market rate salary. No one ever took him up on the offer.

Many more people die each year from a shortage of organs than die in a decade because they lack financial means to pay for an organ transplant. A market for organs will significantly increase the supply and save more lives than making tansplants zero cost to the patient. That said we live in a world of scarcity and despite our best intentions we cannot avoid that fact.

Prole - If youre not winning it's still nice to see some good baseball on occasion. Olivo's arm was a pleasure to watch up in Everett.

Jeeesh Dave actually thought the M would contend lasy year....it was obvious from the start they would never get the run support. I am not excited about this move but I think its overall impact will be minimal and I have never been a big Moore fan. I can say that Olivo has or had a strong arm throwing to 2nd! Go Ms!!!!!

Welcome back home Miguel Olivo! Dave on USS Mariner is an idiot.

Welcome to Seattle Mr. Jack Cust

This can't be real

Yesterday around 4pm there was only one car in the LTW parking lot! Little known Index factoid: moss brushes off much easier on cold winter days than on the torrid days of summer!

After having their choice for president prove to be one of the biggest losers in recent history the Left, should pause, pull its head out of J_B's ass, and rethink its basic understanding of the world. Until then here's looking at the polls! Keeping hope alive!

Index is rockin' today. Damp but dry rock can be found.

Hey ya Jack Booted Nazi It's a Government Conspiracy!

Sorry! I'm not the poet brother you are!

Forget it Tvash you'll always be a second rate J_B - hell you can't even climb - J_B has created an entirely new subversive dialect! He has cleverly changed the meaning of the epithet "Fascist Thug" (and a seemingly endless number of variants)from an insult to a term of endearment. It'sd use on cc.com is rampant. Even that arch hippie/lefty Offwhite gets into the act these days. Whats even more amazing is the boys down at the beer gardens climbing gyms are starting to adopt J_B's dialect.

Irony thy name is J_B. Any one else notice J_B calls me a red baiter in a thread in which I have posted pictures of Putin and called him (Putin) both strong and sensitive? J_B calls me a "Fucking moron."

Strong and sensitive

let it be clear that I haven't attacked anyone who didn't attack me. Piss Poor acts as if he were white as snow but he has a long history of red baiting on this site. So you don't deny attacking me...since you're being honest try stepping up to the plate and admit that if you didnt have commie sympathies you would never rise to the bait!

Help for our Northern brothers! Hmmmm not quite sure I was promoting the Fraser Institute but in the words of MattP please continue to bob & weave & misdirect.....

jeesh You're sounding like J_B with the personal attacks ya jack booted thug! I will just remind you that while Obama vacationed in style wildlife was dying in the Gulf. Here is a more down to earth world leader who is not afraid to care for those who can't care for themselves:

Turns out those rascally French Canadians madea movie about this several years ago! movie link Of course evil capitalists come to the rescue!( egg chips and beans! ) Press release: Help for our Northern brothers!
