Some Assembly Required

I thought the last post would be it for the day ----- BUT ----- "Some Assembly Required" has some juicy tid-bits today -- go there (please follow link to original).

Here are a couple of examples:


Fairgounds: President Obama awarded the medal of honor to Army Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta at a White House ceremony on Tuesday. In Arizona he'll still have to show them his passport.

By the Numbers: The core Producer Price Index for Finished Goods for October was up 0.4%, about half the gain that was expected. Take away the food and energy sectors and the PPI was down 0.6%. Both industrial production and capacity utilization rates were flat m/m from September. At 74.8%, capacity utilization is far below normal.

Usual Suspects: By 2030 the demand for water in India will exceed possible supply by more than 40%. A public/private group recommends that the distribution of free water cease and that India's water supplies be privatized and allocated based on the ability to pay. Farmers who cannot afford water will quit growing crops. Customers that can't afford water or the more expensive crops grown with expensive water will die. Those who control the water will get richer. Win-win.

there's more .................
