And you Fools call Alstry a Fear Monger?.....it is amazing how many sheep graze in these fields.
Oh my goodness....a hundred people in Mexico could have died from the flu??? Say it isn''t so!!!
Over half the world's population is susceptible to contracting Malaria. Over 1 million, YES ONE MILLION, DIE each year from that disease alone....that is about three thousand per day....and many of whom are little babies and children. Do I hear any Fools crying the sky is falling for those kids???
In America, we typically lose between 1000 and 2000 citizens per year to influenza, or otherwise known as the flu....and from based on the reading I have done so far, there seem to be little efficacy between mortality and flu shots.
From what I can tell, up to this point, there doesn't seem to be ANY spike in mortality from this flu compared to historical norms UP TO THIS POINT.
Now, if you really want to see the direct effects of Toxic Borrowers Syndrome morphing into the FU virus...take a look at US Steels results tonight: Here is a brief consequence:
We previously placed a freeze on hiring and annual merit-based salary
increases, discontinued the company match on our 401(k) program and
discontinued all non-essential travel and other outside services costs.
Effective July 1, 2009, our CEO's base compensation will be reduced by
20 percent, other executive base salaries will be reduced by
10 percent, and our general manager salaries will be reduced by 5 to
10 percent. Fees for our Board of Directors will also be reduced by
10 percent.
