Pod, they don't, neither does a bullet in your leg...mine at least. I think it's because none are ferrous metals, they did tell me the bullet in my leg might heat up, oscillate, or vibrate which it did not.
Even if the metal is ferrous, the force and torque on small bits in your body, generally isn't so much that it rips it from your body. However, you don't want to go in MRI with chunks of metal in your eyes.
Difficult to say how many aspects were encompassed in the study. Seems to me that if diabetes and obesity were included then the US would be much lower.
"The total amount given to nearly 600 executives would cover bailout costs for many of the 116 banks that have so far accepted tax dollars to boost their bottom lines."
"The average paid to each of the banks' top executives was $2.6 million in salary, bonuses and benefits."
"Lloyd Blankfein, president and chief executive officer of Goldman Sachs, took home nearly $54 million in compensation last year. The company's top five executives received a total of $242 million."
But ask any Republi-goon, and they'll happily blame the mythical, so-called "$70 dollar/hour" union employee for all the mess, instead of the CEO's who mismanaged this shit to begin with.
Plus, Georgie-Boy is so hung up on his goddamn "legacy" to the point where I can easily serve up ONE (among many) stellar example of the effects of his 8 years in office:
"But this is the image that will stay for a very long time, the sum total of this man's "compassionate conservatism" - a little girl hiding in her closet. Thanks, George! Thanks for everything you've done!"
"There are plenty of culprits, like lenders who peddled easy credit, consumers who took on mortgages they could not afford and Wall Street chieftains who loaded up on mortgage-backed securities without regard to the risk. "
Like I said, its all Bush's fault right? Why don't you spread your hate around a little bit. Add your buddies Obama and Barney Frank in there to.
"This administration made decisions that allowed the free market to operate as a barroom brawl instead of a prize fight,%u201D said L. William Seidman, who advised Republican presidents and led the savings and loan bailout in the 1990s. %u201CTo make the market work well, you have to have a lot of rules.%u201D
But Mr. Bush populated the financial system%u2019s alphabet soup of oversight agencies with people who, like him, wanted fewer rules, not more."
And this:
"He pushed hard to expand homeownership, especially among minorities, an initiative that dovetailed with his ambition to expand the Republican tent %u2014 and with the business interests of some of his biggest donors. But his housing policies and hands-off approach to regulation encouraged lax lending standards."
Man-oh-man.....you really DO have a hard fucking time reading stuff, don't you? Look, either you take remedial reading courses or you brush up on improving your fuckin' attention span, because I can't be around forever setting you straight, Torture-Lover. It only makes you look more and more fuckin' foolish.
And when Obama BECOMES Prezdint and DOES do something wrong, maybe THEN I'll blame him. Until then, how 'bout you just concentrate on the Asshole-At-Hand NOW, who is STILL Prezdint and has BEEN Prezdint for the last 8 years.
I'm afraid whenever I concentrate on the asshole-at-hand, I end up replying to you! You blame Bush for everything. He's one fucking man, and you say he's stupid, but apparantly he is also some fucking evil genius?
Bush is partly to blame, but he's hardly the only person to blame for this mess. And your holy Democrats are just as dirty.
"He pushed hard to expand homeownership, especially among minorities"
What, Clinton, Obama, and Frank didn't do any of this right? Should Bush have been a little more racist than his predecessors?
What's truly stupid, is how you can't see reality through your rose-colored glasses.
i think bankers deserve their rich rewards .
Why because that leaves less money for small business loans, unless you give them collateral of your first born , your cat, dog and canary along with everything else you own .
Its-hard do sit in a sumptuous board room with an adjacent dinning room spending your time deciding what loans you are going to give out to businesses that could help grow so that these businesses can employee more people to buy more things to help the economy grow.
NO I think it is better that they lend money to offshore wealthy Arabs so they can buy up north america with our money and all the profit goes off shore to come back to buy more of north america, so all the peons can wander in the dark and die poor with more dept so their off springs can continue the circle closing around their necks and in Abu Dhabi they can enjoy a $20,000,000 birthday party.
So basically what to do kill the fucking bankers. YEAH !!!!!
But they hire protection ,so we have to hire miter as he can blow all those fuckers up .
Well, see these bonuses are the reward for their talent in bankrupting the corporation, bankrupting the shareholder, and raping the taxpayer.
Corruption like that is too big to fail.
And as the government is declaring as per the bailouts: "FU*K small business."
I think everyone has the "talent" to bankrupt a large corporation, and "earn" that $20 million bonus!
"Best and brightest" my ass. They are just wealthy politically connected people doing what wealthy connected people do. I doubt any of these best and brightest could even balance their own checking account.
