Splendid isolation is the correct term, I believe.

Hmm the company I work for must be an anomaly then as we've never stopped taking on more people and we've had a pay rise year on year of at least 1.5% and more normally 2%+.

Hate to break it to you, but 1-2% is not a good pay raise.

It is a famous uttering from our last dictator. Truth be told, he steered us out of WW2.

Did I say it was?  Abaris stated 

Quote:Not as much that ordinary citizen's profited from a growing market and job creation. 

And I was just pointing out that as an "ordinary citizen", that wasn't my experience.  Besides our rises are liked to CPI so it varies a lot higher occasionally.

Salazar?

There's been another one if I'm not mistaken. Some professor who found refuge in Brazil after 1974 if I'm not mistaken.

Those returns, if they materialize (and how?) don't actually make the loss go away.......they'd have those returns -plus- what they'd lost, all other things being equal. I tried to explain this in another post...losing 10bucks is -never- a profit.....
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
