There are so many MBAs running around in the private sector in my geographical labor market that it has actually devalued the B.S. degree. These aren't top tier universities, however it still alters the equilibrium of supply and demand for college educated labor. Why hire a B.S. when you can...
Any more suppressive monetary policy and the troubles in the subprime lending sector will more rapidly spill into the prime sector as ARMs reset and peeps can no longer afford their mortgages. Then all the CDOs go under and the stock market's bottom falls out. Not to mention all the debt peeps...
We are already headed into a recession, and I am seeing stagflation in the interim as a very real possibility. Don't believe what uncle Ben is reporting on consumer spending. Look at what the retailers are reporting instead. The hand of the Fed is already tied. They will miss the opportunity...
Even cast pistons don't just fall apart unless they were run seriously hot or without oil. If it is a knocking noise, it is most likely a shot main bearing, or stuck valve, not the piston. A cracked piston will frag and ruin your block in short order.
I remember that last test/horse juice run you posted about. I had gotten up to 255, but have maintained a solid 230-235 for the last few years. Still married with children? It happened to me too. My son is in my avi. Hope all is well, welcome back!
BTW I hate this fill in the blank search...
The beach either. Swimming in a toxic black cesspool. We used to go down there to have fun but never even considered the water. Galveston used to be the rage, especially spring break. I had many a substance fueled night on those beaches. Now you can't take kegs on the beach or drive your...
It sounds to me like she thought she was smart enough to beat the system and cash in. Play the innocent victim role. I might be wrong, but I've read about several high profile cases that went down like that. OJ made it look easy.
My parents held on to their house and bought a new one up here in Vancouver, WA. It turned out to be a smart move to lease it out bc the housing market is finally inflating in Houston like it has on the west coast. That house (the Memorial Area, right off Memorial Drive) was worth $275,000...
When you go to the Clear Lake Clubhouse, make sure it is with a car full of jacked guys. We used to go there quite a bit, nice club. We used to go to some other hole in wall joints around there like Banana Joe's.
Be careful in Houston. One of my really close girlfriends was abducted and never heard from again. Three others were raped. One guy cut a leak in her tire and followed her until she pulled over, offered to help, drove her out to the middle of a field, and raped her. I grew up there, shit...
I love it when they say that Americans won't do these jobs. They left out a key part of the sentence. Americans won't do those jobs for the suppressed wages that are now paid for these low skilled labor jobs due to high supply/low demand. The jobs they are speaking of used to pay a living...
