Economic Stimulus Leader!? - dochocson - 05-13-2008
We spent our tax rebate/refund/windfall/loan from China on a spiffy new 15" MBP!
I got the glossy screen, though I wasn't a big fan until I saw it on my wife's MB.
My copy of XP Pro should be here in a couple of days so I'll get to play around with Bootcamp and/or Parallels (got the MacMall, free after rebate deal).
Yeehaw!

shame on you, supporting the Chinese economy!

LOL. I doubt there's one person who posts here who doesn't. It's really, really hard not to.

Hmm, I had some Chinese food for lunch today, and oddly, I think that's actually supporting the US economy.

We used ours to pay our property taxes. Does that support the U.S. economy?

I am going to cash mine into 300 or 600 dollar bills, fold them up into my right hand pocket ( so I can feel the lump ), go to my local tavern for happy hour and buy as many 12oz draft beers as I can drink without falling down. The only thing I want to stimulate is my kidneys!

That's what the Smiley is for. I have nothing against China, but I tend to look out for products made in other parts of the world, just to keep things in balance. For example, when I shop for shoes, 1/2 of the models are made in China, with the rest made in Brazil, Italy, Romania or India (just to name a few). I tend to buy from those countries rather than Chine, since they sell a lot anyway. Made in USA I haven't seen in quite a long time.

If my bribe comes before my next estimated tax payment is due, it will probably go straight back to the IRS. Now that's festive.

wouldn't it be nice to buy something from someone who MADE it here?
like art, or well-made furniture? support the arts!
