G-20 is a forum for cooperation and consultation on matters pertaining to the international financial system. I have listed the 19 countries involved in the summit:
Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States, these include the finance ministers and central bank governors of 19 countries, the 20th member is the European Union.
So from what I get is that they are all coming together to try and solve our economic problems as a united front, marvelous!
I really hope it works.
“It’s the Brits who are abuzz about the Obama “500 strong” entourage arriving today in the UK, for the upcoming G20 Summit in London, complete with a staff of 200 U.S. Secret Service, armored limos, decoy helicopters, a six doctor medical team and a special armored plated limo nicknamed “The Beast”.” Thanks to the Blogger news network.
I had no idea that was all necessary, but it sort of makes sense from a security standpoint, I guess. I wonder how our new pres feels about all that.
He is so unpretentious, a regular guy.
Today I had some interesting emails that I had not asked for, and it baffles me to get these when I did not request them.
First was from an organization that I gave a small donation earlier this year 2009, asking for another, and I wrote back telling them I can only donate once a year not monthly.
The other was from an insurance company offering me health insurance at a bargain price, yep, and it covered nothing to for that rock bottom price, one fifth of a doctors office visit, more co-pay than what I now pay for my generic medications, dental was a quarter of the cost, and no surgical coverage at all, which I need, and all for a small monthly payment, what?
No thank you!
Why throw good money after bad, I ask you?
To be honest it is reputable company, and it was offered knowing full well that I have pre-existing medical issues, so this was a bone to try and show that they could be nice I suspect.
I suggested they talk to the doctors, hospitals and pharmaceuticals to try and bring the costs down so then their offer might be worth something to us so-called un- insurables.
I had to make up another word my dictionary did not recognize, apparently it didn't understand the word un-insurable, and to be honest neither do I.
But according to the “Insurance World”, only healthy young people should have insurance that is affordable and caters to the lack of actual need for their services.
This reminds me of the hurricanes when for years all those companies just kept collecting their premiums one after another for years and years, no problems with that, and then oops we get two horrible years of hurricanes and they questioned why they should give us the money we paid out to them? Irony or something more malicious, I still wonder to this day why some of us took months to receive our rightful payments and others only days and some never, and a few, I understand are still waiting. I suppose we will never know.
The mysteries of life can be confusing.
Well, on that note I will bid you all good night and to all count those blessings and I will too.
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
