Better to speak out late than ever.

The chamber of commerce just wants to walk around in suits and get free business lunches.

the private sector sees no need for wto because we can only manufacture things with protection.

look at the chicken situation, 20 years ago there were many local chicken producers now there is maybe one or tow and the wto members are already telling them to lower the chicken tariff.

this is a time for parents to daily warn their children not to interact with strangers. also to arrange for children to return from school in groups.

teachers should also be warning children.

i noticed a woman at the bank whose children were calling her on the phone from the parking lot.
I told her not to leave the children alone in the car and offered to hold her place in the line while she brought them inside.

That is the MO of management companies, they just pass on any costs to you, and do not care how much it costs.
the Govt decision will depend on the election date.

One day, in a far distant galacy, people will invent the internet , and the retailers will place orders online, make payments with a fantastic thing called paypal, and the sales reps will rue their loss of junket.
