Hookers make $1,000s to go away. Doesn't look like he got his money's worth then. I'd say he did - Spitzer was the one who got them caught with his cash withdrawls.

You can outsource medical care quite easily. If you don't have dental insurance, for major procedures like crowns, it's cheaper to fly to Thailand, get them done, and fly home, then to do them in the states. Same for cosmetic surgery and a number of other elective procedures. Some people like having a direct relationship with the producer of the goods they are consuming - whether it be the food they eat, the jacket they wear or the surfboard they ride.

The union I paid dues to for years was totally useless. When I actually needed them on 2 occasions they did NOTHING to help me. I was optimistic when I first joined, went to the meetings, tried to be involved, then I saw what a powerless, stupid, money-wasting thing it was. I was more powerful on my own than under the protection of a union when it came to employment issues. ClimbingPanther of course can't wait to become a member of the AMA - a Union in all but name.

well Opec and the plummeting Bush peso

There's a booming market for Arabic language specialists? I'm sure there are some overpaid, lazy, public sector workers. There's also Vegas doormen making $500k a year.

My job at a federal lab paid 20-30% under private sector with worse benefits. Which is why they had staff turnover >25% per annum The least efficient sector of the economy I've found is small companys (<40 employees)

What, like, you've got a better self deprecating sense of humor than the rest of us? he didn't get to Number 50 the funny thing about that list is none of its "white" anymore......
