Economics - September 2006

answer the 2 questions


1) By taking an airplane one can go from D to H in one hour, The same trip takes five hours by bus. If the airfare is $30 and the bus fare $10, which would be the cheaper mode of transportation for someone who could earn $2 per hour during that time? For someone who could earn $10 an hour?

2) On December 21, 2002, the Toronto Blue Jays decided not to offer salary arbitration to outfielder Jose Cruz, one of their more popular players. Arbitration was estimated to have settled on $5 million per season for Cruz. By not offering arbitration, Cruz became a free agent and could sign a contract with any of the other 29 teams in major leauge baseball. Under the rules of arbitration, any team signing Cruz would not have to give the Blue Jays any players, money, or draft picks in return. Did the Toronto Blue Jays truly get nothing in return?

How can nationsbe impoverished with a surplus of untapped value (natural resources,labor,and know how balanced by need)? Its like a casino telling rich people that gambling cannot take place because there are no more chips. As an economic system capitalism is a dismal failure! It tricks people out of their true value. Once money was established as the means of exchanging value ,those who controlled its creation simply gaveit to themselves thruogh a sophisticated legal fiction called financing and used it to establish ownership of resources without giving any value in return. The foundation of all modern wars is that America prints as much money as they need to manipulate the value in our land while restricting the creation of money in the countries of those they intend to oppress.

It annoys me that whatever I have to buy, be it a wok or a dish, some of my hardearned cash will go to line the pockets of celebrity chefs. Are we so gullible that we will only buy a product if it is endorsed by a celebrity?

When I look at the way banks, investments and especially insurances, I can't help but think that the economy is dependent on the population. The more that was contribute means those early bird can reap the "cream". To achieve the same result at a later stage in time, the effort is more. ie, When it your time to reap the pie much more have to be contributed to get the same amount of "cream". Eg: When your policy mature, the investment have to be so much more. Why?
