Oh, thank you! I thought you were going to disagree with me! I was being kind when I said “akin.” Last year the medical cabal wrote 150,000,000 scripts for antidepressants/antipsychotics and a host of other dangerous drugs masking as ways to help people cope with our totally dysfunctional society. We have more children doped on kiddy cocaine and other drugs that cause heart problems, sudden death, and diabetes than any other country in the world. What does the future hold for those children? And as you so aptly pointed out, the walls are going up. I hope I can escape in time.
Now I remember that I tried to establish my online access the same way you did and it wouldn’t work. It’s NOT your card information that the system wants. Go back to my earlier post and follow those instructions. You MUST be in that “juridica” pull-down menu, then enter your cedula number, dashes and all, and see what happens. I struggled for an hour doing what you were doing, then ran frustrated into Banco Nacional begging for help. It took the bank officer abou 60 seconds to do what I spent an hour not doing.
And how much dough did those airlines CEOs make???? OBSCENE AMOUNTS OF MONEY!! Don’t think that doesn’t affect how an airline is run and whether it can afford pension plans.
The 12-digit number is your sociedad anonima CEDULA number. You said you had a corporate account, right? So the name on the account must be your corporate name therefore you must use your cedula number as your i.d. I just checked and my i.d. is my cedula. Try that and if it doesn’t work, we’ll go to plan B.
Here are the instructions I was given:
Go to “Internet Personal”
Your type of account is “Juridico”
You have to enter the name of your corporation and it’s cedula #. Then you have to create a password — mine is 14 digits with letters on both end (I haven’t changed it yet but will have to soon because they expire after X days).
Everything else should be self-explanatory once you get past this point.
An officer at BN just walked me through this process, so I will try to find his handwritten instructions and walk you through this. It probably wants your cedula number, then you have to establish a password — mine was a string of digits a mile long. I’ll be back in a bit when I find my notebook with the instructions. It’s not that hard once you get the hang of it — even a computer dunderhead like me figured it out.
We should stop giving corporate execs those ghastly salaries in the double-digit million dollar range and those horridly obscene golden parachutes totalling in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Nobody — and I do mean nobody — deserves that kind of salary when we have 40,000,000 children in the US who go to bed hungry.

He forgot a couple of #1’s:
We’re #1 in Ritalin consumption, consuming 90% of all the Ritalin made in the world, and we’re #1 for psychiatric/lifestyle drug use. This place is akin to living in an insane asylum without walls.
Education today is about test scores so the schools can keep their funding. They could give a rat’s behind if the students are prepared for life in the real world, or if they know where Canada is on a map. Forget them knowing where Iraq or Iran are. We had some of those under-30 employees — what a waste! We were lucky if they ever showed up and some showed up for work coming straight from a night of partying; they had no pride in their work and did only the minimum (sometimes less) expected of them; and a couple were on so many legal drugs they could barely function. If they are a glimpse of our society as a whole, you can start to understand why outsourcing is a good idea for the companies.
And the ultimate outsourcing story comes from a friend of mine who designed a line of cars for Ferrari. He’s been approached by some Chinese businessmen who want to manufacture his new line of Ferrari cars in China. He told them they’d never be able to keep one of those cars on the road for more than a year with the way they tool parts and the substandard materials that they use. But Ferraris are selling like hotcakes in China now so they want to find a way to make them cheaper — but surely not better!
I agree with David. He is spot on about everything. The last prediction I saw indicated that withing the next ten years, Hispanics will have taken over our country and outnumbered the rest of us, as has already happened in certain states. It does NOT bode well for anyone here, and it’s one of the reasons we wanted to move out of the country. Having said that, we also realize that it is a viable idea to move the mosaic fabrication company to Costa Rica and we are investigating how to do that. We could hire 4 people for what we pay one person here in the States, but we may get blasted on import fees and shipping, so maybe it’s not as good an idea as we thought. As for education, we have been dumbed down so far that the US ranks behind countries such as Albania in math and science, and that’s just for starters!
