Montana businesses benefit from Apocalypse shoppers

Lanterns, tents, ammo cans and wool blankets are just some of the items in high demand. But topping that list are MREs, Meals Ready to Eat. Some customers have even purchased them by the pallet. “The military meal always is an easy way for people to eat and they’re self heating so they don’t require any outside heat source,” Schmidt said.

Summer of gloom in Rome

It is not just stifling summer heat that is keeping shoppers at bay on Rome’s Via del Corso: as the economic crisis hits locals and tourists alike, many shops have little choice but to close for good.

The few people around seem to ziz zag from shop to shop, seeking relief from the heat in air-conditioned outlets and leaving behind frustrated shop assistants who struggle to sell anything despite discounts of [...]

Ministers are poised to back the plans, which would put the UK in line with Central European Time, for trial period of three years.

The changes would mean lighter winter evenings, which supporters claim would cut road deaths, boost tourism and reduced energy use.

However there are a [...]

Who are the evil 1%?

I am amused by OWS. Not trying to defend GS in anyway, but this is one massive exercise in futility. OWS has over-stretching NYPD. So instead of patrolling Queens and the other violent crime areas of NYC, all taxpayer money is used to watch the “peaceful protesters.” More like a flash mob with 4 letter words, profanity, and the jobless threatening to ransack commercial real [...]

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Gas prices are on the rise nationwide, but one filling station in Florida has earned the dubious distinction of having the highest prices in the country.

Suncoast Energys, located near the Orlando International Airport, was charging $5.69 a gallon for regular gasoline on Friday. That’s the highest of any gas retailer in the nation, according to price tracker gasbuddy.com.

By contrast, the average price in [...]

The UK’s problem is far different than the U.S. problem.

Largely because their “Market” is more defined by the whole of Europe, Dubai and a utter lack of transferable industries/intellectual properties. We live and work in both the UK and US, and the differences become more apparent when actually there. You realize that Great Britain is clearly trading away the last of its marketable exports (e.g., Cadbury) and simply becoming industrialized by the likes of GE and RR. It’s a [...]
