Getting funding for new products shouldn't be like this:

I really enjoyed this - laughed my head off.

I've actually been to a pitch like this (for investor money) and I'm glad I wasn't asked these questions!

ice-cube trays? 

seriously? 

couldn't he have gotten them from a local visit to Walmart or somewhere?

I live in Australia.
I used to deliver parcels for Australia Post. 

Crap job btw - why can't people just go to their local supermarket etc and buy that stuff?

Why buy online for that stuff? Ok, if you work 18 hours a day, maybe, and you'll get it delivered. 

But seriously? Ice-cube trays? Are they that important that you can't physically visit a store and buy them personally?

No wonder people are losing their jobs - because everyone is buying online "crap". 

How many people does a store need face-to-face? A lot less now than when people actually visited a store in the flesh.

Its no wonder things are turning to utter ice-cube trays. 

Get a life, and support your local supermarket in the flesh - then you wouldn't have to deal with burglars stealing your crap. 

Geez. 

Unbelievable. 
 
The loss of Ice-cube trays?

Says it all about what people hold dear these days.

(I hope this entire video was a comedic skit for some up-and-coming comedian or otherwise sarcastic) - otherwise, the world is turning to crap. 

Literally.

And the people in it - shallow to the n'th degree.

I really hope that video was tongue-in-cheek or sarcastic, because I cannot believe that someone would care *that* much about ice-cube trays. 

Seriously.

Just visit the damn store and buy them personally.

No theft - problem solved.

LOL.

I'm in trouble with the FBI!

Just received an email from the FBI! (Supposedly!)

Can you believe this rubbish?
And people get scammed each and every day by rubbish emails like this.

People! If you receive something like this - DELETE IT!
They are not real.

Anyway, have a giggle... the way they word these emails just makes me shake my head in wonder that anyone would be SO STUPID to actually reply....

hahahahahahahahaha!
what a load of rubbish.

Send me $98 via western union so you can get $10m - yeah, RIGHT!

Your written English is despicable - there's your first sign of a scam - LOSER!

That's my rant over and done with.
Have you ever received such rubbish as this?
Let me know in the comments, and warn everyone you know that this sort of crap is still going on in the world.

Further, a shout out to all of you who run mail servers - you MUST ensure they're not open-relay. You are contributing to the problem of spam email each and every day.

I hope youre understand how many times this message has been sent to you?.

We have warned you so many times and you have decided to ignore our e-mails or because you believe we have not been instructed to get you arrested, and today if you  fail to respond back to us with the payment then, we would first send a letter to the mayor of the city where you reside and direct them to close your bank account until you have been jailed and all your properties will be confiscated by the fbi.

We would also send a letter to the company/agency that you are working for so that they could get you fired until we are through with our investigations because a suspect is not suppose to be working for the government or any private organization.

Your id which we have in our database been sent to all the crimes agencies in America for them to inset you in their website as an internet fraudsters and to warn  people from having any deals with you. This would have been solved all this while if you had gotten the certificate signed, endorsed and stamped as you where  instructed in the e-mail below.this is the federal bureau of investigation (fbi) am writing in response to the e-mail you sent to us and am using this medium to inform you that there is no more time left to waste because you have been given from the 3rd of January. As stated earlier to have the document endorsed, signed and stamped without failure and you must adhere to this directives to avoid you blaming yourself at last when we must have arrested and jailed you for life and all your properties confiscated.

We have investigated and found out that you didn't have any idea when the fraudulent deal was committed with your information's/identity and right now if  you id is placed on our website as a wanted person, i believe you know that it will be a shame to you and your entire family because after then it will be announce in all the local channels that you are wanted by the fbi. As a good Christian and a honest man, I decided to see how i could be of help to you because i would not be happy to see you end up in jail and all your properties confiscated all because your
information's was used to carry out a fraudulent transactions, i called the efcc and they directed me to a private attorney who could help you get the process done and he stated that he will endorse, sign and stamp the document at the sum of $98.00 usd only and i believe this process is cheaper for you.

You need to do everything possible within today and tomorrow to get this process done because our director has called to inform me that the warrant of arrest has been  signed against you and once it has been approved, then the arrest will be carried out, and from our investigations we learnt that you were the person that forwarded your identity to one impostor/fraudsters in Nigeria when he had a deal with you about the transfer of some illegal funds into your bank account which is valued at the sum of $10.500,000.00 usd.

I pleaded on your behalf so that this agency could give you till 5/30/2013 so that you could get this process done because i learnt that you were sent several e-mail without getting a response from you, please bear it in mind that this is the only way that i can be able to help you at this moment or you would have to face the law and its consequences once it has befall on you. You would make the payment through western union money transfer with the below details.

NAME: UZOUKWU CLETUS
ADDRESS:  LAGOS  NIGERIA
TEXT QUESTION:FOR
ANSWER: YOU
AMOUNT: $98
Senders name======

Send the payment details to me which are senders name and address, mtcn number, text question and answer used and the amount sent. Make sure that you didn't hesitate making the payment down to the agency by today so that they could have the certificate endorsed, signed and stamped immediately without any further delay. After all this process has been carried out, then we would have to proceed to the bank for the transfer of your compensation funds which is valued at the sum of $10.500,000.00 usd which was suppose to have been transferred to you all this while.

Note/ all the crimes agencies have been contacted on this regards and we shall trace and arrest you if you disregard this instructions. You are given a grace today to make the payment for the document after which your failure to do that will attract a maximum arrest and finally you will be appearing in court for act of terrorism, money laundering and drug trafficking charges, so be warned not to try any thing funny because you are been watched.

Here's a few more choice "honesty" paragraphs, directly from the ALP website!

Wait till I get my barf-bag....

Julie was born in Hobart and was educated locally in TAFE, gaining a Certificate IV in Business Administration.

She first joined a union at age 14 while working at a local supermarket. Julie reluctantly decided she was unable to continue her education due to financial limitations.

“I believe in fairness in education, fairness in the workplace and fairness for all in society. I made the decision to enter politics to fight for those in my community who need support and to ensure that every person has the best chance to achieve whatever they set out to do in their lives.”

It's a pity that the above video doesn't showcase the fairness in education that she received - oh wait, sorry - she was "unable to continue her education due to financial limitations"

And yet, today, she oversees a portfolio worth billions of dollars.

Financial Transaction Tax

Financial Transaction Tax

What is a Financial Transaction Tax?

It is simply a very small percentage of the total amount of your everyday purchases.

Why am I even promoting the idea? Don't we already have enough taxes draining our slowly dwindling weekly wages?

Yes we do, but there is some light at the end of the tunnel - if the powers that be would simply get their head out of where the sun will never shine.

According to the Reserve Bank of Australia...

http://www.rba.gov.au/publications/bulletin/2004/jul/pdf/bu-0704-3.pdf

Page 15 states, in a table entitled Cash Withdrawals Year to March 2004 (no mention of the start, but presumably, March 2003?) there was, wait for it, $142,534,000,000 - yes, $142 billion dollars withdrawn from ATM's (your own, and 'foreign' ones), EFTPOS cash-out and cash-out + purchases, and credit card cash advances.

$142 billion dollars. The report obviously is slanted to the types of outlets that we all get our cash from, but eventually, that cash will be spent within the economy.

But if we look at the spreadsheet, kindly also provided by the RBA (they really hang themselves don't they - or should I say, they really hang the government, don't they?) at:

http://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/tables/xls/c07hist.xls

it shows that the total of interbank settlements for November 2012 stood at:

$150 billion dollars.

That's right - just for the month of November 2012.

That includes all financial transactions being cleared through various systems such as SWIFT, RITS, Austraclear etc, each and every month.

Check it out - $158 billion for Sep 2012, $151 billion for Oct 2012, and $150 billion during Nov 2012.

Now, imagine a financial transaction tax on those amounts - lets pick a number - a third of one percent or 0.33% .

Lets do the math.

$158,000,000,000 is $158 billion dollars, the same amount cleared through the various financial clearing houses as described by the Reserve Banks' own spreadsheet for September 2012.

(158,000,000,000 / 100) * .33 = $521,400,000 or $521 million dollars per month, directly into the Australian government coffers (for the month of Sep 2012)

Lets total the 2011-2012 financial year (from the spreadsheet above)

July 2011 - $164 billion

August 2011 - $164 billion

September 2011 - $168 billion

October 2011 - $173 billion

November 2011 - $164 billion

December 2011 - $181 billion (Xmas time!)

January 2012 - $148 billion

February 2012 - $149 billion

March 2012 - $157 billion

April 2012 - $167 billion

May 2012 - $152 billion

June 2012 - $168 billion

Lets total up the entire 2011-2012 financial year in settled payments throughout the banking system in Australia. (I don't even think my calculator is up to the task, but I'm sure Google can tell me what sort of number I'm looking at...)

It turns out to be:

1 961 753 000 000

one trillion, nine hundred and sixty-one billion, and seven hundred and fifty-three million dollars.

That's a lot of dosh!

So I wonder what 0.33% of that is?

6,473,784,900

6 billion dollars

And that's at just one third of one percent.

How about we ask for ten percent of that, just like the GST (don't worry, the GST will be history after we look at the result!)

Ooooh! Now that's nice:

196,175,300,000

$196 billion

$196 billion dollars

Seems almost as much as what the present government has borrowed and what we'll have to pay back someday.

So, they could recoup $196 billion dollars out of the Australian economy in a year - and that's without the GST, without payroll tax, without the MRRT, without the carbon "price" - just by simply creaming off the top of what normal Australians, and Australian businesses, pay each and every month, to one another!

Am I mad?

Why hasn't this been implemented?
