HAVE MORE READING TIME?
Then, here's more signs of the apocalyse:
2. Short-run Expensive, but long-run savings?
U.S. Navy's Bush-era effort to launch a green biofuelling program -- eagerly supported by Democrats and environmentalists -- turns out to be initially expensive, and is now under fire from House Republicans [under pressure from big donors from the coal & oil industries].
3. More ill-advised federal spending?
"With Footwear Scanners Failing in Airport Tests, the Shoes Still Have to Come Off"
[AYN RAND WOULD GIVE A KNOWING SMILE]:
"After spending millions of dollars testing four different scanning devices . . . "
None of them work, so keep taking off your shoes at airport security checkpoints.
4. Auditors of brokerage firms are ROUTINELY screwing up!
