The UN has left the building, or least the island of Manhattan. My take, after reading the coverage in a number of newspapers over the last week or so, is that nothing was accomplished other than snarling midtown traffic . Of course, I didn\u2019t expect much \u2013 which is a sad reflection on the power and prestige of the United Nations today. Maybe I\u2019m wrong, but it seems like a body whose time has come.<\/p>\n
The big news this past week was, of course, The BernankeTwist. Not to be confused with a children\u2019s game or theChubby Checker song, this is an effort by the Federal Reserve Chairman to spur the economy. Looks a lot like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic to me but, hey, I am not some expert on this stuff, just an observer. Needless to say, something has to be done to fix the economy. Perhaps this will be the start of the great fix. Let\u2019s hope so \u2013 we need it.<\/p>\n

Every day, sometimes twice or three times a day, I get an email, a call, or a letter from a bank, credit card company, utility or other vendor asking me to stop getting paper statements in favor of email billing. Now I understand how this helps the environment and how it helps the company , but how does it help me? I don\u2019t think it does. In fact, I think it will cost me more to do it their way. Let me explain: If I get an electronic statement, I\u2019m still going to have to print it out to read and store. This means more money spent by yours truly on ink, paper and eventually a new printer. They get a decrease in paper costs, postage and fulfillment, as well as a couple of other things that I\u2019m probably missing. They win \u2013 we lose.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
