Discount to Kill. Only in America!!

How do you know if the price is right in America? You count the dead bodies. I love the ironies in free-market capitalism practiced only in USnA. The seller gives a deadly discount thinking this will help his business when it actually hurts it. If the buyer's dead the only one who gets new business is the funeral services company next door and perhaps a few lawyers to deal with the lawsuit to the seller for giving out the deadly discounts in the first place. In America people work hard and kill for a discount. Of course, when they do that the only thing that gets discounted is the kill. In the Middle East foreigners work hard and we the locals kill time or if we have too much of it then some of our diehards kill foreigners. It's Kill (the store's) Bill vs Kill (the) Rolex (guys)!

People in the USnA think of us as terrorists but the USnA has now its own new breed of terrorists. The Al Qaedas kill to right what they mistakenly think as wrong. The American Discount Terrorists kill to get the price right, or never get it at all if they end up dead! So how do you know if the price's right in America? You check the obituaries first :)

Did you notice that no one ever reports the deadly price of the toy over which people got killed in America? Was it that cheap really they didn't want more people to get killed?? :))

The 95% rule! Want a good credit score fast?

Does paying the full amount on your credit card every month make your credit score increase the fastest? Yeah??

No it doesn't. Your score goes up but that's not the fastest way it can go up. You must always leave a minimum amount unpaid. How much? Say the total you owe is $100 and this month you must pay a minimum of $5. Don't pay the full amount even if you can. Just pay $95. This will raise your score faster than if you paid the full $100. Banks reward their making some money too you see. Most people don't know about it!!

Tear gas for self-defence

Big riots in Greece so out of control are rare but I've seen them happen in other countries too (US, France). My experience in Greece is that shop owners are completely defenseless, the Greek police cannot protect the streets or the shops. I remember when Bill Clinton visited Athens and the city was burnt down. He cut his trip short and went for a 'safe' trip in Turkey next door. As a better alternative to guns or hiring snipers from abroad, shop owners in Greece should arm themselves with tear gas and use it to protect their property. It takes 1 hothead shop owner to start shooting at protesters destroying his property or threatening his life. If caught he can claim self-defense.

But with no police around and fire and smoke all over no one will see him or his sniper firing. This is the scenario of all hell breaking loose with many dead people. If the police can't protect, tear gas is better self-defense to guns.

ATM sterilization service

I read about good hygiene and how necessary it is to prevent the spread of viruses, germs and the flu and I am thinking, wouldn't it be a great idea if ATMs would sterilize/disinfect the ATM card and the cash we deposit and withdraw from them? ATMs won't save mankind from the next epidemic, fine, but that's one less source of spreading worms and germs around. And cash is dirty because not Everyone knows how to launder it properly. Corrupt leaders try hard to teach but the masses refuse to learn. Not everyone can be a good money-launderer so better to sterilize the money supply :D

SkypeShare for lower phone bills

You probably know you can make very cheap phone calls with Skype to landlines. Under a monthly subscription of about $12 you can make unlimited calls to more than 40 countries.

SkypeShare is a cheating concept. Share the password to one account with a few others and make unlimited calls driving down the monthly subscription cost even further. To prevent abuse, Skype's fair use policy actually limits 'unlimited use' to 10,000 minutes per month with a maximum of 6 hours per day but still, the restrictions can allow for plenty of time to be shared among a few friends.

Sharing the account could also work with prepaid plans and calls to mobile phones which are more expensive. The idea is nothing new or extraordinary, one account with a shared password to split the monthly subscription bill among a few people. Simple as that!

The GIA Bill of Regulations

How about we name the new laws that will be drafted to regulate the financial system in the US as the GIA Bill of Regulations? GIA will be the reverse of AIG's initials. The innovation in the acronym will be its dual use and multiple i-substitutes. How you read out GIA will depend on how effective the new laws will be in containing future greed and irresponsibility. If the GIA Bill of Regulations fails to restrain gambling and irresponsible risk, people can refer to it as Grow Irresponsibly America. The adverb 'Irresponsibly' can be substituted by any such words as illegitimately, illegally, insanely, inscrutably, incomprehensibly, idiotically, inattentively, ill-advisedly etc.

On the other hand, if the bill produces a stable, well-regulated financial system, people can refer to it as Grow Intelligently America with such i-substitutes as intelligently, insightfully, ideally, indefatigably, impressively etc. The name of the agency that will supervise the laws will be called, what else, Greed Intelligence Agency.
