George W. Bush did many, many bad things besides instigating the 9/11 attack on our shores.
He destroyed the U.S. Dollar as well, throwing the entire global economy into chaos.
Nothing will ever be the same again.
At the end of Bush II's presidency Sirius Satellite Radio was financially obliterated with it's stock falling from almost 3$ per share to one nickel per share.
The entire platform of satellite radio was selling for 20 shares to one U.S. Dollar.
Live, unedited, uncensored music and discussion within the United States of America was selling for $0.05.
Sirius rises.
Freedom of Speech is priceless, satellite radio costs 50 cents a day.
I have no faith in stock markets, white collar business ethics or effective regulation through our legal system.
I believe that the U.S. Dollar (and all paper/digital currency) does not hold any legitimate claim towards any value given to it.
Into this alleged free-market, capitalist system one corporation has been given permission to broadcast satellite radio from coast to coast ( effectively from Canada to Guatemala... and global with the internet. )
The only other way this technology could have been unleashed on us by now would have been if the Federal Government funded the satellites as a public works project...
but they were too busy covering Bush II and Cheney's tracks
and fighting two wars across the globe.
So now the financial world is in turmoil and the "true" value of stocks and currencies are in question.
As Sirius rises from the stinking ashes of Bush II's destruction, I wonder if it's contrived collapse was created to strengthen the stock as a bellwether for U.S. cultural finances.
