Communism - you have 2 cows, the state takes both and gives you milk

Fascism - You have 2 cows, The state takes both and sells you some milk

Bureaucratism - you have 2 cows, the state takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away.

Surrealism - You have 2 giraffes, the government requires you to take harmonica lessons.

A French Corporation - You have 2 cows, you go on strike, organize a riot, block the roads, because you want 3 cows

A Japanese Corporation - You have 2 cows, you redesign them so they are one then the size of an ordinary cow, and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon called "Cowkemon" and market it world wide.

A German Corporation - you have 2 cows, you re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month and milk themselves.

An Italian Corporation - You have 2 cows, but you don't know where they are. you decide to have lunch.

A Russian Corporation - You have 2 cows, you count them and learn you have 5 cows, you count them again and learn you have 42 cows, you count them again and learn you have 2 cows, you stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.

A Swiss Corporation - you have 5000 cows, none of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them.

A Chinese Corporation - you have 2 cows, you have 300 people milking them, you claim that you have full employment and high bovine productivity. You arrest the newsman who report the real situation.

An Indian Corporation - you have 2 cows.. you worship them.

A British Corporation - you have 2 cows, both are mad.

An Iraq Corporation - You have 2 cows, everyone thinks you have lots of cows, you tell them that you have none, no one believes you, so they bomb the fuck out of you and invade your farm. you still have no cows, but at least you're now part of a democracy.

A New Zealand Corporation - you have 2 cows, the one on the left looks very attractive.

An Australian corporation - You have 2 cows, you close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate.

You forgot an important one! :3

An American Corporate Government - You take 2 cows, the state milks them both to death then tries to go out and take someone else's cows because they were being terrorized and deemed them best to be in the state's possession, alas, that cost quite a lot of milk, so in the end this fails... and as if it wasn't enough (for the sake of the people, of course) creates 700 000 000 000 imaginary cows but charges them on you as though they were real. The good news is, the state is of the reassuring kind: it promises you you'll be the first to be ''repaid'' in the end. For these ''printed'' err, ''very real'' cows.

You know, I think it would have been accurate if that project had not been rejected. So I think it means America still has yet to be defined?

Because honestly, I was only thinking how to define America would this project be adopted. And I'm thankful it hasn't. I would have mourned the loss of quality of life for many of you here who happen to be American had it been accepted. For it would have, IMO, do nothing but accelerate the downfall that the administration hoped to stop, and make it last longer thanks to the collateral damages caused by such an ''investme''... err I mean ''loan''.

Sure, Wall street might crash; the faster it falls, the faster it can rise back up. The fear of the fall shown in the desire to give away such amount of money would have caused the nation to ''crawl'' and starve for such a period of time... hell it would have been better to take the fall instead.

...

In the worst case scenario, I welcome yall to Canadia!

Very Happy

P.S.: I think I didn't go too political in there, but feel free to whip me if I did. It's kinda hard right now to not mix economy and politics... at least for me.
