Bring up the Google Ring.  Where you only wiggle fingers, it might pay
to get jobs at home.  All we up here would have to do would be
schedule something.  Make a decision is easy in talking.  I think it
would be easy to centralize the time the world's at and redistribute
money.  If all we'd do is normal life, this constrained, open markets
would be easy to set up.  It's just illegal to talk about pricing in
2004 Microecon. classes.
