Since the world wide economy is in the dumps we have launched our own economic stimulus package - Maya Anna Mei, or MAM for short. This package is meant to stimulate the economy in a broad and deep sense. So far we have taken the following actions:
- Since the American car industry is in trouble....we bought a Volvo. This action helps twofold. One it helps Ford, who is in trouble and two, it helps Volvo who is also in trouble and is laying off lots of people in Sweden. Smart move huh? (Gas mileage sucks so we are helping the oil industry inadvertently as well...)
- The lumber industry is in trouble since very few new houses are being built. We decided to not use cloth diapers and spare the environment, instead we chose to use disposable diapers so more trees are used and keep the loggers employed.
- Toy/baby industry, not sure if they are in trouble or not, but we are helping them out anyway by buying tons of gadgets for Maya.
- Electronic manufacturing, in the interest of keeping myself employed we have bought a video camera to record Maya , assorted accessories for the Nikon camera and other electronic gadgets.
- Power/Gas industry, we are now keeping the house so warm that our PG&E bill is close to double the normal cost. This keeps Maya warm and a bunch of other people employed as well.
We are working on the next step of this stimulus package right now. It was supposed to have been done already but unprecedented changes in this industry during last week has delayed this action. More to follow next week on this part of the MAM stimulus package.
