Amy tipped me off to Panjiva.com, a sort of new alibaba.com My criticism with sites like this is they want to do too much, and their model needs big biz or big money startups.... anything useful they have you can get for free elsewhere...
Most obnoxiously, Panjiva announces on its sight that panjiva "announced an exclusive relationship with deKieffer & Horgan that will make it easier for participants in global trade to steer clear of counterfeiters, diverters, and other companies engaged in illicit activities." How weird... a world trade sight that is against free trade! Wait a minute, these guys are graduates of Harvard and MIT, so of course they are against free trade. Never mind.

Pork And Milk
I wish my company was like the pork producers who can count on the government to buy up my excess production to keep prices high, harming the consumer. Then I would produce more pork, making ever more money.
I wish I was like the dairy herder who can count on government prices fixed high so I can be gauranteed to make money. I produce ever more milk, expanding my herds, so I could get ever more money.

Add Motorola and TracFone to the List
I wish my company was like Motorola and Tracfone, where if people cannot afford Motorola and Tracfone products, the government will buy it for them.

Russia To Learn From China
According to this article, the Russians are comparing notes with the Chinese on how to run an economy. India copied the Chinese autonomous free trade regions, so I Russia follows suit, make that the third socialist country to permit free trade.
Fascist countries, such as the USA, cannot tolerate free trade, so I am not confident we'll see the peace and prosperity being experienced by China right now.
