That was random and unrelated (but still awesome). On the topic of politics, what could YOU do with $700 Billion Dollars?
===============================================
The recent approval of the United States Govenment to bail out the cash poor banking system is looked upon with difference of opinion all over the world. Whether it will 'buy' confidence or not is to be dealth with a separate post here. But first of all you need to imagine how you can use the gigantic 700 billion for other things maybe worthwhile.
Singapore can built the existing mass rapid system over 40 times
Dubai can built 180 burj towers
It is worth 140 times of Stephen Spielberg wealth
You can give 167 dollars to every person on earth
Each poverty stricken person in south africa could have at least eaten a decent meal every day for the next 7 months
It exceeded the United States of America gold asset by 3 times
It is almost the cost of Iraq war to America
You can take 3043 movies like Water World
You can at least make 700 000 of your favourite people into a millionaire!
Everyone is Singapore will receive US$175K
It is 700 thousand times of Athelete Tiger Woods annual income
Bill Gates will bow to you 12 times if you have 700 billion
It can used to replace 40% of the railway track of India with modern mass rapid transit.
You can create 18 Yahoo sites
You can create 5 Google clones

B, in regards to your photo, BFD. I beat the dragonlord years ago. I do admire your perserverance. Maybe you'll beat Mario Bros someday.

I went into the Sears here yesterday around 2:30, and I was there about 1/2 hour. I was their only customer.
Gasoline here is $2.12. Oil is $60/barrel - lowest in a year and a half.

Ben, you could also pay off all the debt of the people who can't pay their mortgages.
My professor, who brought up a good point, said if we were going to hand out money, why not just hand out money to the people of America. Give them money to specifically pay of their loans. Bam. Oh but never mind, we hate socialism in this country... too bad!

D: I too beat the Dragonload years ago, but if you take a closer look at the picture, I think you'll find something very special about HOW I beat him. Also, I heard on the news that some companies are struggling so much that you can sometimes even negotiate prices. A lot of times, prices are not as "set" as we normally thing, so now's a time to really get a good deal! Pat: Pretty much. I'd be a much bigger fan of making 700 of my closest friends billionaires! I just stumbled on a cool article. This guy isn't an economist, but he definitely has the right idea on how to get the economy started again that doesn't involve irresponsible government spending to morons who made poor investment choices and are now paying for their inadequacies: www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle+articleid_2769735.html

Hey everyone, good news, a southern company bought out Verizon in the north east. My mom enhanced our internet connect by 5 times, for 5 bucks cheaper per month! No more shitty verizon service or customer service. This companies base is located in the U.S. so we can actually talk to people who speak english!!
Oh and no more of that stupid logging into the network shit. We got rid of that too, so not is unsecured and fun! That means ages parties!

Fuck yeah! More good news everyone. I literally just opened up an e-mail from Liberty Mutual asking me to set up a second interview with them in their Boston office! I'm so pumped! Their requesting a copy of my transcript and looking to interview probably within the next two weeks, so this basically says their very very interested. ;D Edit: It gets better! This position has a starting pay of $48,700 - 54,000. Granted, it's in Taxachussetts, but getting a job like that in Boston would seriously be a dream come true.
