Washington Post,Letter to the Editor on page A26:
Kevin Blythe of Alexandria,VA. wrote: "I propose a $15 billion bailout for the newspaper business. Isn't the press part of the foundation of our democracy? My comment:Freedom of Expression is guaranteed in the US Constitution if I remember correctly. If we didn't have the in-depth reports,how could we make decisions on all the other bailouts that Congress is considering? Think of all the editors,writers,graphic designers,printers,deliverers,etc., who stand to lose their jobs if the papers go under. Why $15 billion? I don't know...seems like the smallest respectable amount to ask for these days. Thanks and good luck?"
The above naive recommendation reminds me of the late Professor John K. Galbraith for his wise saying: " There are those who don't know and those who don't know they don't know!" Who knows then? Perhaps the readers of Sino-American Economics to read the blogs about China's part in the role of US economics in the 21st century and beyond...
Francis Shieh a.k.a. Xie Shihao in Pin Yin with X as the first letter of Pin Yin romanization of my Last Name. However,the Wu dialect i.e. Shanghai dialect starts with Z for Zia as the phonetic equivalent of 17 strokes for the traditional and 13 for the simplified Chinese character with word radical + shooting or body and inch. Well,X as the unknown factor and Z means the end i.e. A to Z Or from Alfa to Omega in Greek. But the Greek language has 24 instead of 26 in English alphabet. Short 2! X and Z are missing as I have explained above. Are you truly perplexed? Well,the reader is supposed to be confused under the circumstances. The whole thing is nebulous at best. Hehehahahoho all the way and we surely will live to be centenarisns with such brainstorming for the brainstorm. Mea Culpa! Economic storms from the past,the present and the future. "After a storm,comes a calm!" The good days are upcoming when we uplifting our spirit! Such impact is loud and clear,indeed.
