| | WannaBe: Berkshire have $85Billion, that's right, <BILLION> as of last September, sitting around collecting minimal interest, (So it's probably higher than 85 by now.) https://finance.yahoo.com/news/berk... I mean, to put that in perspective, according to Forbes, Dallas Cowboys are the valuable team in the NFL at $4.2B with an annual revenue of $700M I mean Warren Buffeft probably sneezes $700M... If he wants, he can buy 19 Dallas Cowboys with that $85B sitting around. =)) |

| Jan-30-17 | | playground player: <WannaBe> SOS! After successfully doing it for thousands of times, suddenly my computer refuses to copy and paste images. We've tried rebooting, system restore, and cursing, but nothing works. It still lets me copy and paste videos, but no still images. Grrrr! It lets me paste an image onto a Microsoft Word page, but not onto a blog post. I have no idea what's going on with this evil machine. I turn to you as to a sage. Can you help? Please! |

 | | OhioChessFan: Scumbag. Bankruptcy laws are way too lenient, and they encourage this kind of irresponsibility. On a bigger level, that's what led to the sub-prime meltdown, that is "Heads I win, tails I lose but the governement saves me." |
