"Obama Signs Global Internet Treaty Worse Than SOPA"

[javaguru]

I've actually been thinking the same thing.

If he gets re-elected, he can continue to crash the economy which will only create opportunities short term.

His policies are killing-off small medical device companies left and right. It's creating buying opportunities like I've never seen in this market. If he did get re-elected and crashed the economy, we'd have these companies well integrated by 2016 and be ready to take off during the recovery.

I'm not talking about another economic collapse, we're due for a recession in the next year or two regardless, I'm talking about a crisis that collapses the federal government under the weight of entitlements, if Barry care goes into effect full force we're done and even if Romney gets elected the popular provisions can't be repealed which will collapse the system eventually but on a longer timeline. Having the dollar as reserve currency can only protect us so long...I may be wrong but on these types of issues it has been rare.

Do you have one of those nuclear fallout shelters? If so, can a brotha rent some space up in there and will there still be chitlins?

No, but I do have an Irish trading company and a Dutch holding company. Do those count as fallout shelters?

And why would I want to hide out in a fallout shelter? There's far too many good acquisitions out there thanks to Barry. He's been a huge boost to mid/large-sized health care companies by killing the little guy.

1) Drown them with regulation -- FDA is giving the bigger guys virtual monopolies on their products by slowing down the regulatory process.

2) Wreck the credit markets -- Insure rates are ultra-low, then create conditions where every bank is scared to loan to anyone who actually needs the money. Know who doesn't need the money? Medium and large-sized companies. Know who won't get the money? Mom and pop.

3) Create an atmosphere of uncertainty -- Tax rates in 2013? Who knows. Inflation in 2013? Who knows. Employment costs in 2013? Who knows. That sends the little guys headed for the door.

I do have a strange like/dislike attitude toward him. The little-guy conservative in me is disgusted by almost everything he does. But the mid-sized company guy in me really appreciates the opportunities he creates in health care.

No shelter, but I have a fully operational Federal Thunderbolt air raid siren . The way we're headed, I hope I don't have to sound it in attack wail when the nukes start coming in, after we default on our debts to China.

Way too lazy to investigate or even read this pos, but I'm curious about this:

"Under the provisions of ACTA, copyright holders will be granted sweeping direct powers to demand ISPs remove material from the Internet on a whim. Whereas ISPs normally are only forced to remove content after a court order, all legal oversight will be abolished, a precedent that will apply globally, rendering the treaty worse in its potential scope for abuse than SOPA or PIPA."

How exactly does that work? Doesn't make sense to me. At all. I'd like to unilaterally declare this "article" bullshit. Thanks for reading.

Not surprised.
The media industry has to go along with the facade of scarcity to make money as do most industries.

We got the patriot act, all this GPS crap that can track you anywhere, cameras everywhere, is it any surprise that big brother eventually wanted to control cyberspace too.

Then again the net was created originally by DARPA sort of so.... it is natural progression.

Pretty soon we will end up just like China... super rich and super poor with Americans working in sweatshops because nothing else exists.
As well as tremedous censorship laws... which is funny because China makes most of the bootleg stuff anyway.
Wait... don't them and other countries own a large part of our debt.....

Big Bad America reduced to a mewling kitten eventually on the world stage.

Then Mexico and Canada will have issues with illegal Americans trying to cross their borders lol,
