I need to ask of a person with a publication, a popular blog and such access to media outlets like NPR, (not to mention a PhD in economics) how is it that this financial meltdown only gets analyzed by you and your profession ex post facto?
… How hard it was from 2003 to 2006 to find anyone other than the regular people with no economics PhD that were writing about the housing bubble. And then, when in late 2006 when the housing bubble was self evident, how hard it was to find anyone talking about what the ramifications would be for the banks and financial structure of the world.
What really really bugs me is that I was drinking beers with my brother telling him how I didn't think that capitalism, which I truly love, would survive this pending financial imploding back in 2005. So I guess, what I really want to know, is where were you in 2005 and where was everyone in your profession? -
Barack Obama is our next president, which is very bad because he is a naive untested wealth-spreading terrorist-befriending ultraliberal socialist communist who will suddenly reveal his secret Muslim identity by riding to his inauguration on a camel shouting ''Death to Israel!'' after which he will wreck the economy by sending Joe the Plumber to Guantánamo and taxing away all the income of anybody who makes over $137.50 per year and giving it to bloated government agencies that will deliberately set it on fire.
Or, John McCain is our next president, which is very bad because he is a 287-year-old out-of-touch multiple-house-owning fascist who will rape the environment and build nuclear power plants inside elementary schools and reinstate slavery and create tax loopholes that benefit only people who own three or more personal helicopters, after which he will declare war on the entire United Nations and then keel over dead and leave us with commander-in-chief Sarah ''Flash Card'' Palin. -
I read all of these books as an adult. I have had asthma and allergies since I was a child, and they didn’t have books like these then. It’s hard having asthma at any time of life, but especially when you are a child. These titles would have made a world of difference in my acceptance at not being able do some of the things my friends did.

IT firms, on their part, insist that the Act is not being violated since IT workers have to work for 48 hours a week – eight hours daily for six days. However, since most IT firms have a five-day working week, they work longer hours, hence the misconception.
But some IT-BPO employees and UNITES are not buying the story. "The labour law in India allows an eight-hour working day, whereas in most IT companies in India people are involuntarily working for over 12 hours daily," R Karthik Shekhar, UNITES' secretary general for India told Business Standard.
