I almost got fired for a seatbelt ticket.

Not anymore, immediate discharge for illegal use of any controlled substance. They still get restricted duty and forfeiture of pay, but discharged as soon as restriction is completed.

I just had a good friend discharged last month for this.

may sound cold, but good.

I have too many friends/family that I have seen destroy their lives with drugs I have no tolerance for them.

 

Yeah, but the picture is much bigger than you can handle. I digress, we sheeple should just do EVERYTHING they tell us. Without question, right?

 

Are you saying you are part of the we that is GEICO?

I think I heard a lizard tell me it's time to go to bed, I hope he reminds me to drive the speed limit tomorrow morning on my way to work. Maybe the roaming gnome will help me to buckle up and chester cheeta can remind me to live the dream.

 

Of course, Warren Buffett was never interested in buying GE common stock in October 2008. He did this as a special deal. Warren Buffett hoped the stock options would work out. He knew the preferred stock would. The preferred stock had a 13% a year return baked in from the very start.

On October 16, 2008, Berkshire acquired 30,000 shares of 10% Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock of GE...and Warrants to purchase 134,831,460 shares of common stock of GE...for an aggregate cost of $3 billion. The GE Preferred may be redeemed beginning in October 2011 by GE at a price of $110,000 per share ($3.3 billion in aggregate). The GE Warrants expire in 2013 and can be exercised for an aggregate cost of $3 billion ($22.25/share)."


From one of your links.
Dude you need some sleep.
Berkshire bought GE stock not the other way around.
GE does not own controlling shares of Berkshire, matter of fact they own none, nor does any other corporation.
It was a boost when they needed it.

Listen to the gecko...take a nap.

 

What I'm saying is that the companies lobby for a mandated seat belt law... not really becasue they think we don't have the brain matter to decide for ourselves if we want to wear them... nor do they do it because they want us to be safe... and protect our simple selves.... they do it because it saves them money... period.

The really scary thing is people buy it hook line and sinker... Just look at Tazz, according to him, if an LEO cites you with and infraction... they should just lock them up... or at the very least NEVER drive again. With no trial or recourse to challenge the claim. It's really insane, and certainly Fascist.

The writing is on the wall, gov't and the powers that be, seem to want total control of every aspect of our lives. They want the masses to comsume and comply... Which leaves us no 'right' to choose, perhaps a seat belt is not comfortable to some... Well, wear it because.... 'It's the law'.

Then, if one follows the money back far enough... you get to the Federal Reserve Bank... which is of course... privately owned. hmm?

 

Why was there an option to buy perfered stock in the first place? Why did GE buy back the stock at a net loss of 300 million a year ? Are they just stupid? Why did Goldman Sachs come in to broker the deal for a 1.3 billion Berkshireg gain?

My point IS these companies are intrinsically linked... and support the same lobbying actions.... For example: Tort Reform

 

And the original meaning of GEICO was Government Employees Insurance Corporation. The only sold to government employees and military back in the 70's when I had a policy with them. They kept the acronym when Bershire bought them up and took them public.

OOPS! Condocruiser beat me to this. I missed the post earlier and caught it when I was going back thru them. Sorry!

 

I think the line he's following was laid out with a razor blade on a mirror.
You are one paranoid, delusional dude.
Take off the tin foil hat and get some rest

 

Okie dokie.
