All the companies were have bee hoovering up our data, where did you think this was going to end?
Add in the fact that if you are not getting "growth" on the stock market, then you must be doing something wrong.
- bell-cot 3y agoThe Stasi didn't add anything to the GDP of the GDR, either. That wasn't the point then, and it isn't now.
