  • Do developing countries realize when they disrupt or eliminate commerce?

    They add cost to the food and the goods they rely on to be stable in costs to their way of life

    when they disrupt suppiles to the very chains of commerce that their very own economies being

    reliant as all societies are now globally affected by the dynamics of the global economy's cost effects

    they lessen supplies to certain economic food production resources they then raise the cost to produce all goods reliant on those goods and services they then raise their own expense costs to their own countries economy which they being a lesser developed country can ill afford the loss of those goods

    so they in turn greatly feel the disruption much more severely than the affected process they bring a halt too? Not only do they inturn feel the affects to the less food produced but they also then in turn are less able to afford the hightened cost to produce the disruption caused and according to the time of the year

    these losses of production mean loss of life in lesser productive areas where food is much more a commodity which means lives? And their lives are greater affected than more affluent countries?

  • In today's bad economy employers are trying to decrease costs retiree medical costs PREMIUMS?

    How can this cut off of premiums payments or requiring retirees to pay their own medical insurance payments be legal to be imposed since no other years have the DOe dollars not been paid by the DOe for all retirees and those funds are still obtained and never late being sent to cover our retirement benifits costs but now this LLC who manages or took over the management without any of the reitree authorization since all our medical benifits where guaranteed employement benitfits according to our employee benifits handbook since our jobs where beyond the call of dangerous duty all our careers aas a venifit due to the high instance of cancers and illness we where under employment agreement to have all our medical payments for medical insurance paid by the DOE

    in return for working a full vested retirement age of 60 or 40 years having vested after ten we would if still employed through to reitement would not have to pay for our medical since our work was for the nation as defense work and highly not only hazardous due to AEC work they could not ask us to

    pay for our medical having served our nation in such conditions as to have to pass guards with high powered machine guns and side hand guns inorder to go to work every day for 40 years since very few qualified or made it to reirement age they having caused or the AEC radiation had caused a higher than usual national cancer rate in our population so the university of california and the DOe payed our medical until last year the new company they turned our facility over to a public corporation which then managed to start a new policy to charge us for our insurance and cut off many from are medical paid benifits this is not affected by obamacare since its a fully funded DOe paid retirement benifit from congress for national service and was contractually agreed by the state of california to be paid due to highly dangeroius jobs we had in the nations defense and energy

    work. The state governors office even had a big press conference when he signed our retirement benifits guarantee in the state capitol building ceremony can they just say the costs are escalating to high and they deny through lawyers for the LLC say they are no longer required and never where

    required to pay life time reitirement benifits our group is a finite group and less of us every year due to age and illness this is when we most need these benitifts we are having to seek counsel but thought there might be some reitred lawmakers who could help ease some of our poor retirees

    worries can a LLC who is being fully finded with our money just stop paying our reitement benifits insurances and renig on paying our medical bills costs they are funded and keep our funding without

    us having recourse?

    Sorry I could have made this a quick qyestuon but this needed some background to understand the question why we are seeking our benifits since they poaid every year since 1952 just come last year they stopped on the most vulnerable and most needed the illist of our ranks we are less than

    5000 employees over the last 68 years in a facility of over 8600 employees total still working ,our group is a small population of over 68 years acumulativly 5000 or so of those who made it to retirement age and still met the hurdles and not died due to illness yet and we are not rich we all rely on social security without working we all are unable to afford at our age to go back to work specially those sick with the radiation cancer and other long term exposure ills from this mation defense plant work managed by the university for Dept OF Energy DOE.

  • Question is if you want someone to stop assaulting you.....?

    Would it not be reasonable to say you should not assault the one

    firing at you when you started the firing and you are taking the bulk

    of the damage ,would it not be prudent to not assault in the first place than to expect the assaulted to not reciprocate?

    incredible the mentallity if the hamas is lobbing the first hits bombing

    would it not be prudent to not bomb from their side than to expect\

    the ones they have bombed at random to stop targeted launch points

    coming identifiably from Hamas controlled areas. They show the

    hamas launching bombs but the Gaza hamas would not have bombs lobbed toward them if they them selves did not start lobbing in the first.

    does this hamas in the gaza make any sense. regardless of their

    likes or dislikes or rasoning they dont make any sense if they are guilty in the first by launching bombs into enemy lands.

    explain how the hamas asking for israel to stop entering and

    bombing the launch sites and launching staff of hamas is not the rational answer when they by the very act of launching arbitrary

    and random bombs how could they rationally expect anything

    in answer less return to the launch sites the same and severe

    return fire until no further firing occurs for ever.?

  • ITS okay to throw our shoes at a muslim leader or would we get punished with like being beheaded should that..?

    So If this ill Iraq citizen press man throws shoes at our president then its alright for a american pressman to throw all his shoes and any other person to toss and hit all iraqi or muslim country leaders in the head with shoes or should that iraqi guy be stoned to death or shot for his assault on the american president? So its okay to toss shoes at leaders of iraqis as it is being said to allow this man go

    without being shot or punished For all know in muslim countries this man would have been beheaded or jailed in the least for throwing and hitting a iraqi leader. Otherwise if its okay to toss shoes at guest leaders protected by visitation protection guidlelines would a american be held for punishement had he the american tossed two shoes and assaulted the iraqi leader if the shoe was on the other foot would the cheering crowds be as cheering and calling for a american had a press man from NY hit the iraqi leader with his shoes?

    What they cheer for today would be very different when their leader can just as easily be hit with a dangerous loaded shoe maybe a loafer

    full of cake or worse.? Would the cheering be so harolded if this was to happen to the leader of shite during a press speech. If the guy that tossed the two shoes does not get his due in history

    would not the same if it were to happen to a iraqi leader go

    unpunished as well? Ill be first to head up the pop fly off the iraqi leaders head and wont miss as bad as the other guy.

    Id insure my brogans hit the target and leave a dented muslim

    that wont have a leg to stand on if this guy gets hailed as a hero Ill be

    a holy divinity for doing the same only i promise not to miss. Its only justice.Would the Kurds cheer me on if my size 13 brogans claimed the forhead during a press conference. Would the iraqi leader

    recover his teeth and waht about mrs mustard in the library?

    cheers whats your thoughts or answer to this atrocity.

    ???

  • Do you know ghosts really exist? How and what have you had happen to you?

    I see all those spirit ghost shows on paranormal research

    Im a disbeliever and cant fathom their being real ghosts just

    overactive superstitious minded souls that get hyped up

    and imagine spirits are making stuff occur noises and breaking or moving stuff. Then I feel the other weak minded

    people they bring into the cases presented already feed into the hype situation and nothing is really proved true but

    the fact the group is spooked and feed off each others fears of unknown and they never get photo proof of any ghosts only

    bangs or sqeaks of floor boards in old houses that always make noises. Ive lived in ol victorians and a couple pre 1920's

    farm houses and they all make settling sounds from the foundation or such and never did I think it was spooks or ghosts sqeaking the floors or leaving the cabinet doors open.

    Anyone able to say they have encountered real ghosts not those Ive picked up a disappearing hitchhiker tales but real

    encounters with spirits?
