Yes, I wanted to PAY them and BUY stuff. <br /><br />After 15 automated menus on each call, 3 lost orders, 2 tech no-shows and a partridge in a pear tree, I said "f" this.<br /><br />Skype is my new best friend. Verizon is one of the most poorly run companies that I'm surprised they haven't been given an official government name. Absolutely awful.<br /><br />If you are ever faced with the horrible choice of sacrificing your first born or dealing with Verizon, by all means sacrifice your kid. The pain is way less than the alternative.Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-68304431905182387712010-01-26T15:57:37.245-07:002010-01-26T15:57:37.245-07:00Dave,

If the dollar ever plummets that much, it'll be wide spread chaos here. It'll be like Zimbabwe on a lesser scale. <br /><br />Unfortunately, touting Buy American is a day late and billions of dollar short... only because people will be less likely to pay higher price for necessities just to get by day to day.Harvey Geehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09635919713994950614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-73784227140347606502010-01-26T13:56:57.719-07:002010-01-26T13:56:57.719-07:00LOL.

When the dollar is low enough relative to every other currency such that we can produce industrial and manufactured goods that are price competitively superior to the Asia's.<br /><br />Until then, it's watch the printing press roll on.Dave in Denverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03016238915167131989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-57196965055902618782010-01-26T13:29:32.020-07:002010-01-26T13:29:32.020-07:00What?!

A friend of mine just told me that he has a neighbor who is an engineer (don't remember which flavor) who is mowing people's lawns. <br /><br />Obama spent a million dollars per job to save 65,000 auto jobs, but people with skills that might offer a competitive edge in our economy are being left out of the largesse.Dave in Denverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03016238915167131989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-3867090401965687612010-01-26T13:08:42.747-07:002010-01-26T13:08:42.747-07:00I have two engineers (sons), mechanical and civil ...I have two engineers (sons), mechanical and civil graduating in May.
