New single from their upcoming album, Day & Age. Yes!
So what exactly is this new $700b bailout by the US Govt.? It’s a massive investment by the US Govt. buying a large amount of risky securities on margin.
When Treasury Secretary Paulson was asked what would happen if the bailout were to fail, he responded, “it has to work.”
If this risky ordeal were even to succeed, how will tax payers even be informed of the net gains, when...
Rethink Your Assumptions
Today is hump day and so I would like to leave you with a thought:
What better time than now to rethink all of your assumptions about everything? If you aren’t loving your work or your life, now is the time to ask yourself why not.
