While you are in theory correct, these days if you hear a British
person say "billion" they probably mean the American version.

Am I wrong, or is the math off by a factor of 1000? If so, you may want
to get a new CPA!

No one noticed this but me, and the point still stands "give $425,000
to every person 18+ as a 'We Deserve It Dividend'.".

How does the $700 billion bailout might really cost a trillion" get you to "
$85 trillion"?

Read the email again, Vic, but more slowly: "I'm against the
$85,000,000,000.00 BAILOUT OF AIG" (emphasis mine.)

The original "email from your CPA" discussed the $85 billion bailout of ONE
company: insurance giant A.I.G., not the $700 billion projected total
bailout cost:

<http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/17/bu...&hp&oref=slogi
n>

Even if we expand your bullsh*t "CPA" email to include the full bailout
cost rounded up to a trillion, that's still $5000 a person, not "$425,000."
So, in short, you still need a new CPA.


....So, are the numbers in all of your iPhone sales posts inflated by a
similar factor of 1000, Vic?

Vic spins more than my Labrador Retriever waiting for me to throw a ball.

iPhone has flopped in Japan, yet he posts a bunch of nonsense mostly
consisting of "no that's not so" and "other Japanese phones aren't any
good so everybody in Japan loves iPhone."

Apple is cutting production of iPhone -- a sure sign of faltering sales --
yet he claims that this is somehow proof of success.

The fad is over.

He's either completely fat fingered the numbers because of that
**** "keyboard" they include on the iPhone or along with all the other
deficiencies Apple can't even make a device that knows how to do math
either. Third theory is that he's a complete kook and I think that's a
theory already proven. I think the guy is such a kook he seems to have
even driven Navass out of the group, I'm not sure which is worse though.
