And by the way Alex, is there a discount for ordering 3 whole years of ASS magazine?  |
Exactly what the economy needs is a kind of reset, IMO....I think, and I've hardly the ability to explain it adequately, but I think one of the consequences of the manner in which our monetary / fiscal situation has been managed over the last 15 years is that it leads to all manner of "mal-investments" -- we get people heavily employed in building mcmansions, investments in companies dedicated to providing pet owners with an internet portal to purchase dog food, etc.... it's going to take time to unwind these bad investments and get people employed in more productive endeavors, and I think it will unavoidably be a painful time.
as for the ASS magazine subscription, yes, it's like 50% off the newsstand price...
...i mean, my friend tells me it's a big discount.
