Hmm, looking at this cartoon it brings back a flood of memories. Tidal pools can be dangerous. When I was about 8, my younger brother and I almost drowned in the Indian ocean because of a rip tide, just off a beach protected by shark nets. I distinctly remember fearing more about being eaten by a shark as I was drowning. (there’s that shark lurking in KAL’s background!)Fortunately, my brother and I were plucked out of the sea by 2 life-guards.She’s not Baywatch but could Angela Merkel lead the saving of the Greeks? Hmm.
Might not happen to the USA if you folks implement proper financial regulatory systems. LIke should have been done before silly Greece got hooked up with your financial products.While Wikipedia is not the final reference authority, it’s a good start, and it says this:“The complex structures were designed by prominent U.S. investment banks, who received substantial fees in return for their services.16
Wow, that far back already? Tch. But wasn’t it the Flemish or Dutch who created the 1st stock market? How fair is theirs now since the tulip crash of 1637?
