Rajkumar, thanks for the statistical data especially American poverty data. In a Japanese company’s 'fat cat executives' (mostly high-school pass out) can not understand, until they compare themselves with the American data. They only know how to sell their out dated machinery products to India and China with 40%-50% profit.

Why don't they sack 100% of employees. They'll make fantastic cost savings.

Raja: Thing is... poverty? It's... relative. Back to the thread: The Yen, as predicted, is dropping.
