So this is the problem, everyone want to spend as less money as possible in this time, as what happened in the Big Depression, So there should be new innovative idea for new era. The government should give out money to every one and let that money be spent in limited time, like what Taiwan has done. This will stimulate the economy to run smoothly again. This will like to put some gasoline on a dying fire. So I am very anxious to wait for that money now ^--^. Before I get the money, I only spent money on eating bread and water; let those who run restaurant become more and more anxious. ^--^.
ReplyDeleteSomeone told me before that it's diffcult to find right person in North American. The meaning it is diffcult to find a wife and husband in North American for Chinese people. One reason is the little Chinese signle people living here. Another reason is Chinese people came from all of the world, they have differnet culture and background.So,if you find a right person to your whole life, you are so luck.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great suggestion, Tom. But did the idea work in Taiwan, or did all the extra money go into their savings accounts?
ReplyDeleteInteresting observation, Tao. But Scarborough's like a mini-China, so there shouldn't be a shortage of eligible single people there!
