Most of you don't want to admit it, but you did cause it to fall by R-R-ing with BUSH and DICK Chimpanzee in the past 8-yrs. They over-printerd $3 trillion to pay your funky wars, now your own evil comes back to hit you hard. Isn't this completely foolish? Then you blame the whole things on European for wanting you to fail. It's your own shit making you failed. You're good at blaming every body else for your shit, keep blaming on the Illuminati etc.. .....heeheee....... Ain't that GRAND?

Falling dollars are fine by me. Our electronic products oanly have around 20% parts cost content, and that doesn't seem to change much as the dollar varies; parts costs keep going *down*. But we have a huge competitive advantage against European products as the dollar falls. We can leave export prices alone and crush the competition, or raise the price in dollars and make a lot more profit. I suppose we'll raise our european pricing, since we basically have no european competition anyhow.
What do you do? Does it get better when the dollar falls?

The usenet convention is to bottom post.
And my house is paid for. And US grown food is priced in US dollars, and is absurdly cheap. There's hardly any European products that most Americans want, and fewer that we need.
A low dollar might kill Airbus and NXP. It's great for Boeing and Ford.

--- USENET has conventions, one of which is to bottom post or to inline post when appropriate, for clarity.
Even google groups supports that convention with this citation from:
When you click "Reply" under "show options" to follow up an existing article, Google Groups includes the full article in quotes, with the cursor at the top of the article. Tempting though it is to just start typing your message, please STOP and do two things first. Look at the quoted text and remove parts that are irrelevant. Then, go to the BOTTOM of the article and start typing there. Doing this makes it much easier for your readers to get through your post.

Since it's totally within your power to follow that established, eminently practical convention, it seems that by failing to do so you're deliberately trying to annoy and to make life just a little bit harder for those who read you.

and just when did you join the Electronic Information Age, Sonny...... For your information Usenet and NewsGroups DO have Accepted Conventions, and have since NNTP was first defined, back in the ARRPANet Days..... of course you being in diapers at the time, wouldn't have know that.... These have changed over the years, as bandwidth and technology have increased, which has made the Top Posting/Bottom Posting Conventions a Moot Point, for the LAST DECADE....

An hour of work at minimum wage can buy more potatoes than most people would care to carry. You can make a nice meal from pasta, peas, and maybe a dab of butter and grated parmesan for around 25 cents a serving. You can make a lot of very tasty chicken quesadillas for not much money.

What I don't understand is why Swiss and German (Ritter Sport) chocolate is so good and Hersheys and Cadbury are so bad. They don't grow cocoa beans in Switzerland or in Germany.
We used to have superb chocolate here in San Francisco, Joseph Schmidt. Hershey's bought the operation just to shut it down. Bastards and their gritty sour-milk excuse for chocolate!

Yep, potatoes are around $2 for 10 lbs over here (in Sacramento).
Pasta is just flour and eggs, right?

Which Swiss chocolate do you recommend? Lindt?
What about Ghirardelli?
Hersheys... it tastes alright. Kids like it. But now I'm curious what *real* chocolate tastes like... haha

Try "Thornton" Chocolate heaven since 1911. Or so the advert goes.

Most of the Italian stuff is flour and water. Most is made from US-grown hard winter wheat. We grow it, ship it to Italy, they add water, they remove the water, and then they sell it back to us.

Widmer is excellent, especially draft. I don't like the Pyramid.
I'll have to try the Bud Light. How do they make wheat beer from rice?

Mostly mediocre. Their caramel filled darks are good.

You made me look. What we have in our kitchen is Barilla (Headquartered in Parma, Italy). I was aware that they'd built a large plant up the road from me in Ames, Iowa back in 1998. I like their products (especially a spaghetti sauce made with both green and ripe olives) but didn't know much about their operation. A quick web search turned up
where they say their pasta products (except their tortellini and oven ready lasagna) are all made in the US. The label on this jar of spaghetti sauce says "Product of USA", so at least one of the pasta producers has managed to eliminate the trip to Italy and back.
Methinks there's a fair number of folks in Ames who're pretty happy to have (imported) European employment. :)

Hmm... sounds like a business opportunity there.
I bought an Italian cookbook from Williams-Sonoma and tried to make my own pasta from flour and eggs once. I didn't have the proper pasta flattener/roller/cutter thingie so I just used a rolling pin and a knife. The pasta was a bit thicker than recommended. When boiling, it was amazing... the low thermal conductivity of the dough was such that the outside was cooked, but the inside wouldn't cook no matter how long I boiled.

Pyramid Apricot Ale is one of my favorites. So is the Czechvar (Budweiser?) from a local Czech-German restaurant...

We went to the one in Atlanta in September. It sure was interesting to see what junk people were buying. I did buy a 1-1/2" Beech butcher block slab for $100. That was a good deal but the furniture and cabinets are all crap.

That's one the only thing VT was good at, besides Maple syrup (and fleecing taxpayers, of course).

Gotta agree, we are selling lots to Europe this year. (about 1/2 of the stuff I'm testing is 230V.) Keep the dollar low and we will continue to sell more.
