Carry on and here are three songs from this outstanding person.

Humor: Pay Rises
In quite a few countries around the globe the next rounds of pay negotiations will soon start or have just started. And this time those negotiations most likely in a few countries might turn out to end in fights for workers getting at least the inflationary price increases covered.
Interestingly enough while those managers that have caused the current world wide economic crisis have recently given themselves pay rises of 20% or more (plus of course millions in bonus and dividend payments) they are once more demonstrating complete resistance to let those who create the results participate - even with a minimal share. And based on recent publications real inflation e.g. in the UK is actually closer to 18% and not around the 3-4% published by the government.
Now here’s an image to help sustain these hardships and to make you feel better (or at least smile).

USA: 5 More Friends uncensored
If that video would have been created with top-level bank managers it would certainly qualify for the most expensive political clip ever done. But it was created with the help of some of the best known actors of this planet - and some of them still believe that having an opinion, standing up for it and be heard is more important than a few Million Billion of bonus payments.

Stock Markets: VW speculations
How crazy the worldwide stock markets have become and how little effects the Trillion dollar packages, speeches and appeals of politicians had on the casino players could one more time be seen today in Germany.
Stocks of one of the worlds largest car makers, VW, rose more than 300 % with intraday peaks even higher - yes we mean it - more than three hundred percent. And some of the in-the-money call options have seen their prices increase of more than 27,000% (twenty seven thousand percent).
While car makers around the world tiptoeing along bankruptcy and demand forecasts for the next year(s) are at best catastrophic for some of them - BMW today stopped production for a few days in some of its factories and Daimler today announced that they will stop production for a few weeks later this year- the outlook for VW is anything but peachy as well.
