.....which is why they must all be replaced. It will be interesting to see how Obamanation spins the Dem position. Bush, as always, offers the 'dummy leg' of, 'Well, we, the Obamanation cannot really take any action until we are in power.'
Do we think the citizenry cares about such 'nicety'. How about that foreclosure rate? Ever thing OKay wit' da Baltic Dry Materials Index?
I listening to the hearing and I gotta tell ya, there was one economist Morici who kept harping about how the big three have to increase productivity and reduce wages.
In other words, bust the UAW, bust the union and pay workers low wages.
I found that incredible. We did get a mention on China's tariffs against US cars, trucks as well as parts but it was a one sentence mention while busting the union and paying workers less must have been mentioned over 20 times.
I'm not impressed listening to everything being about the costs of workers. Nothing about their repression of hybrids, the absurd hydrogen hype while doing nothing, the executive pay, the pure mismanagement...
yup, all about squeezing those damn unionized workers.
That was one of the reasons they didn't want to give the bail out.
Listen to Hanky and Spanky with Share-Baer for cover.
They will agree with everything Barney and the Gang say.
Hanky & Spanky want a stimulus. But they have no plan or no clue. Same for No-Iraqi-Child-Left-Behind, Climate Change,
Aids in Africa. They are with you dude. But what funding?
The rest of the Inmates in the Asylum are getting the stimulus of shock therapy. This is by design. We have entered the Gutterdamerung (Sorrow of the Gods) stage of the NeoCon years. After they have fallen from Valhala, hapless mortals in the asylum will have thunderbolts hurled upon us.
We already have computerized automatic transmissions. Well, it's just a small step (very small) from that to hybrid electric drive trains, which one rather extravagant example proves can drastically reduce fuel usage in any vehicle. Once you do that, you simply replace the engine with a constant-run multi-liquid-fuel generator, and suddenly, you've turned a hummer into something America will buy again.
I had a client who got hacked a while back. I suspected Asian
hackers. The client used unencrypted FTP. This can be a huge exposure because unencrypted text flows over IP.
A sniffer on the right line can capture anything. On a wireless connection it is even more dangerous because few go through the trouble of encrypting the connection.
The entire nation of Estonia was crippled by Russian hackers about 2 years back. Ruskies resented a take-down of statues of Stalin and Felix Drzensky.
These job losses and the stock market crashing to new lows are the worse news of this year. Hopefully with a new administration next year, things can get better for all of us.
Move back to a production economy from a services and consumer economy. I sure don't want to turn into Great Britain.
In the middle column, I've pulled in other blogs which are usually fast moving of content, plus based in economic reality and also focused on manufacturing, trade. The group most interesting is the Trade Reform Coalition. They are amazingly bi-partisan, clearly focused on getting better business conditions for their industry sectors.
Well, one possible silver lining here is that people seem to be paying attention to manufacturing. There seems to be a very rudimentary understanding that if the car companies fail, manufacturing will be in deep doo-doo, and that that is a bad thing. Which I think it is.
The ideological problem is that in other countries, such as Japan and South Korea to name just two, the central government would jump in with two feet if this sort of thing happened (not that they're error-free, by any means). But since the United States has less experience with this sort of thing (except via the Pentagon), it's going to have to grope around for a while.
One thing I don't really understand -- why are they collapsing now? They survived the 1982 recession, much less the Depression, is the problem that they've been spilling blood for years before this?
Yeah, the history of the big 3 as well as big oil is they crushed alternative energies over and over and also crushed public transport and planning.
I don't know what's going to happen here. I know if the big 3 go down, that is going to cause a wave of economic pain and possibly cause an economic tsunami that bowls over everything else in it's path.
At the same time, allowing them to just go on with their ill-conceived business models, management and also against the US interests is insane.
One thing is GM is selling Aeros in China for $1100 dollars.
They are all out there trying to capture the Chinese market.
Well, what the hell kind of profit margin can that possibly be, never mind just how much more pollution and oil demand does that cause?
Plus all of that business is outside of the US, I believe including most manufacture so what does that mean to US workers and another question is does GM have profits offshore that are affecting it's corporate bottom line inside the United States?
This is a network issue where Verizon is blocking certain DNS servers, recording the IP address and doing a temporary block on that IP address as well, simply for using that particular DNS server.
But yeah, DDoS, cybersecurity is seriously ignored in the U.S. and it's clear China at least is almost using our networks for some sort of military training exercise. It's really scary and it's especially scary how DC., probably because they are technically and mathematically oblivious, many politicians are not taking this seriously enough.
Man, watching these indicators is schizophrenic in terms of understanding what they really imply. I mentioned I already made a personal huge mistake thinking inflation would hit immediately due to the budget deficit. Wrong!
It seems Verizon likes to block things in the past. There is an issue of security going on. What China especially is up to everyone ignores and a lot of DDoS attacks, hacks originate from China and one can spoof and IP address.
What's good for China and Mexico (protectionist behavior in a fiercely mercantilist attack on the first world) is just fine by the WTO, but the United States and Europe better never adopt that behavior!
This double standard alone is good reason to throw the free traitors out into exile.
I think I've figured out and yes Verizon is clearly evil. It appears they didn't like my use of some global DNS servers and were blocking them completely. I had a Charter as a back up and I do this because these DNS servers are way faster plus Charter tries to redirect you to their silly web pages but if you bypass their entire DNS, they cannot do that.
Of course as usual Charter's DNS was dead 100%, they had moved them once again to new IP addresses. (Do they think everyone just allows DNS servers to be dynamically assigned those putzes!)
Still, it's pretty clear Verizon is blocking all sorts of ranges/blocks of IP addresses, now even DNS servers to particular sites and considering that both campaigns plus some government sites were hacked recently, this might be their pathetic attempts versus creating a real secured system. Why should Verizon get to manage any of our government's network with that kind of bogus stuff is beyond me!
What's really creepy is they had an IP address block because I went that route to figure it out so they must be even temporarily blocking IP addresses simply based on their DNS in a look-up. Either that or Charter partially got some of these problem released either.
Than you Verizon for your paranoid blocking and filtering. You wasted my day trying to access my own government's public statistics and legislator's press releases.
Can you imagine someone who is not a techie trying to figure this out as to why suddenly they could no longer access any government website?
Hit My CT button and I know all about Verizon and their censorship stuff, including their fight against net neutrality.

You can download an app to crack it from sourceforge.
But this issue isn't a packet sniffing one at all.

The NeoCon Plan is still working.

Propping up the Ponzi Scheme with taxpayer money is not going to stop the house of cards from collapsing.
If only our Congressional leadership would call it this succinctly.
I hope this helps in some small way.

This would make an excellent blog post. "The pundits say" "this is what happened" over a long period.
Man, my only question is how do I become a pundit? Seems one can say anything at all and get quite a large salary!

The Pentagon has had several million DOS attacks all originating in Asia. Guess who? This is one of a number of many reasons why I use open source.
- Trickier to write the hacks
- Less hacks
- Apache Server with 256-bit cipher strength - that's
decmial(79).
Like the moveon.org ad with little Alex. They will hack everything else but they can't have Alex (my machine).
