GOP Bill Would Strip Workers Of Overtime, Minimum Wage Protections
The Chinese Government has issued new bank notes featuring an image of the newly built National Stadium, better known as the "Bird's Nest." As it turns out, the new cash is quite a hit with the locals and is fetching close to seven times its face value. I had written previously about the special notes and how they are the first notes lacking an image of Chairman Mao Zedong in roughly a decade.
New Tang Dynasty Television, my favorite source for Leave It To Beaver reruns, has a quick news clip on just how excited many in China are for the new cash. While many media outlets in the U.S. couldn't quite understand the hype regarding waiting in line for an iPhone ("It's just a phone!"), I feel kind of similarly about going gaga for some cash with a pretty picture on it.
