For those who think Hurricane's helped economy...

[PornoDoggy]

After reading the "article" that you posted, I have absolutely no desire to read any more. The article you've posted has lots of nice words, doesn't really say anything, and simplifies things way too much. "The Little Prince" gets an MBA?

Most of the biasedliberalmedia reports I have heard have not suggested that the hurricanes were good for the economy (although I haven't read what they may be saying in Florida). What they HAVE said is that construction (as well as some retail) employment will improve.

And yes, it's true that the shopkeeper may pass on the suit in order to get a new window. However ... while he is getting that window, he may in fact get some doors, some walls, and some floors that he might have defered until later. So maybe the tailor does have to become a window-maker - hell, he's probably being doing it for five years or more anyway, and thus is due for a change under the new economy.

One does have to wonder what the author's opinion of all that capital being wasted on all those window-makers (and retail clerks), when it could have been accumulated by far fewer people ...
