For those of you having fun thinking of Joe Namath and his panty hose venture, lemme jes say:

I finally took Joe’s cue, and I discovered that if you work outdoors in really cold weather, the only thing better than a pair of panty hose is another pair over them. Then you put on your long underwear and some jeans. Stunningly effective!

Early on in his campaign, Obama wasn’t speaking to FOX, as I recall.
Why couldn’t the admin. continure this policy?

65 mil about 6.6%. Heavily rural. It’s important to note that rural unemployment will be high in rapidly modernizing economies as older and less educated workers are left behind as others move to the cities to find work. It’s kind of a West Virginia phenomenon but not stable. The Beijing government tried to maintain the illusion of full employment because it thinks that unemployment leads to instability. Generally speaking, the Chinse economy and citizenry consistently prove to be more resilient and stable than their government (and American armchair pundits) like to give them credit for. If you economy is changing as rapidly as China’s, frictional unemployment and capacity overhang, unevenly distributed geographically and sectorally, are inevitable and not necessarily a bad thing, as you need sufficient labor market flexibility to sustain the transformation process (if everbody is employed and every factory is running at capacity, as their government likes us to believe, then growth would slow since there would be insufficient agility in the system for new industries and geographic poles of growth to emerge. Emerging markets economic goals aren’t the same as developed country country ones. Both Chinese bureaucrats and American economists tend to forget that.

How about if we just convince GB to walk off a cliff, and let his lemmings follow him?

I”m not discounting any of what ya say.

But cold weather footballers, they wore panty hose, in the day.

It was warm, had NOTHING to do with their sexual preferences, and Namath’s OUTING of such, inspired a lot of high school BASEBALL players to try it. I did. In ‘71.

It’s fuckin WARM, dammit! And yeah, me and a few others got SHIT about it.

By then, the major leagues in baseball were doin it all over.

Google is yer friend, and so was pantyhose! *G*

Makes sense. I just mean that insofar as China’s population is so much larger than the US’s, that kind of number is not as huge a share of the workforce as it would be in the US. Probably obvious to most/all, but that’s me all over…
