My Ohio Now

[Peter Beer Slayer]

The second is financing.  Unless this undertaking has private investors with extremely deep pockets, it's unlikely to get the money it needs - at least from any lender that has to answer to stockholders.  Not so long ago, when the credit situation was much more freewheeling, it might have been done, but not now.  And private investors with that kind of money are taking it to Dubai, not recession-plagued Ohio.

Ha, we are talking about a casino, right?  I have no worries that there will be plenty of deep pockets to invest in a casino.

Just a gut feeling, but I get the sense that you've bought into the daily stream of BS about the economy that the newsmedia is shoveling onto us.

If you know where the capital is coming from, and you know it's still secure, it would certainly bolster your argument to name names and cite your source.

And, yes, since you requested correction in such a charming manner, it gives me the greatest delight to confirm that it will be unnecessary - I have indeed bought into a great deal of B.S.!

I read Business Stories with Bountiful Statistics, because I regard them as the Best, Scientifically - far Better Sources than the Bloviating Shouters of talk radio and cable news.

Here are some of my sources:

From this country, newspapers and assorted journals nationwide, both "mainstream" and otherwise - from the Wall Street Journal to Mother Jones;

From overseas, The Guardian, The Financial Times, The Economist, The Asia Times (particularly during the recent riots over Bread Shortages), and assorted sources from Australia;

Peabody Award winner Bill Moyers, the Broadcasting Sage whose PBS program Now with Bill Moyers has documented various ways the financial downturn has hurt ordinary people (see his piece on the Cleveland foreclosure problem - you'll find it easy to understand; he uses real pictures and everything);

And,

Local news reports about food pantries trying to keep up with expanding need;

Ditto regarding the county's charitable health clinics as fewer people can afford medical care;

An ever-increasing list of foreclosures in our county newspaper.

It's understandable if you're Bemused, Synikul.  Our financial system worldwide is poorly regulated, leading to periodic turmoil and hardship.  When you return to your own world - perhaps the one Beyond Saturn? - I'm sure it will be with a new appreciation for the Better System enjoyed by the people of Uranus.   

So that would be a yes.


This forum needs the smilie of the little head with arms and legs rolling around hysterically.

Oh well, gambling in Ohio failed again. It must have been the usual voters worried that casino employees will come to their house in the name of attacking working families. That's what gamblers do, you know, and working Ohio families must be protected.

Aye, well stated and correct.
