A Hobos' View of Economics.
If you had a thousand dollars back in ought 7 and invested in AIG, today you would have 32 dollars and 15 cents.
If you had invested that money in Lehman Brothers, today you would have nothing.
But...if you had bought a thousand dollars worth of beer, drank it all, and recycled the cans and bottles, today you would have $234.77!
