The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Point very-well noted. After all, relying on one’s enemies for “stuff” is hardly a winning strategy.

That has to do with a variety of factors, not the least of which is US tax and reg policies.

Manufacturing is still the largest driver of economic events, including legal/accounting services…..
