A firm has Total Costs (TC) of $12,000 over the next three months, of which $8,000 are fixed costs (TFC) for rent on its lease that cannot be broken. If it stays in business over those months, then the firm will collect only $6,000 in revenues (TR). So, considering only this information, should they stay in business for those three months, or should they close down right now? Provide your reasoning.

I've had much confusion on monetary policy. I mean does the the central bank actually adjust interest rate only? or do they control the printing of money as well?

e.g. looser monetary policy means money supply increases, so does the bank prints more money or has it got to do with interest rate only?

The cities in upstate New York have been stagnant or declining for the past 50 years or so. What can be done to improve the local economy of this region, and convert the cities of Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, Utica and Albany to bustling urban centers? Do these cities have a strategic value due to their proximity to the Northeast corridor, the heart of Canada and the St. Lawrence Seaway? Could a large scale public works project aimed at improving the shipping capacity of the Great Lakes region, coupled with increased freight capabilities to and from the region and nearby urban centers provide logistical benefits to industry and comerce? All and all, what has to give for these cities to flourish?

We are being ripped off by oil refineries who are making record profits, from our misery. They are driving up inflation prices and costing millions of jobs.

Fact:
The oil companies are keeping the price of gasoline artificially high by reducing the capacity of our Oil Refineries, closing them down, or sabotaging their own pipelines.

Fact:
The price of gasoline is at record high, even though the price of oil per barrel is not the highest it's ever been.

If we force the companies to set the price of gasoline at $2.50
a gallon. They will have to produce more gasoline to make profit.
Right now they are cutting gasoline production and raising prices. Someone needs to tell the government that this will not be tolerated. This is price gouging and it is WRONG.
We need to put a Cap on the price of gas. NOW !!!
