  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Advice...

Only Jim would say something like this. Thats truly impressive sense of value of the people who he works with. Cheers Jim, this mentally is the obvious reason you have done what you've done and will continue to do so. You set a good example!

It is incredible that the antisemite cliché would be swallowed so easily, but of course, somebody must be guilty, right?!

You have been told wrong. Reserve banks are public institutions, albeit to some extent "independent". They almost unavoidably do produce profits (as an appreciated but not aimed for side effect) which make part of the state income.

However, there is a subtle form of redistribution : if in a country with a weak currency trade is paid in USD or EURO, this produces indirect income to either the US or the european central banks. Funny right, there is a guy in some south american country that hands a dollar bill to another guy and this act by almost invisible magic produces a tiny bit of state income in the US.
 
ah crap. box office # have never been higher, the more that wall street goes in the dumpster the move people want to escape to the movies /entertainment. to take their minds off the fact that the retirement nest egg is half of what they had hoped and the government will just start printing money. the u.s economy sounds like it is run like a carnival shell game managed by don king and david copperfeild. what did you expect ? at times like these there are great oppertunitys ( well for at least for those that can spell) things get any worse down there and we have to send in another fleet of canadian comics to invade hollywood. ... again. eh?

Once again, applying Lucas's 1st Principle of CrazyTalk, which states...

Any website which can be linked to a website that is primarily about the Illuminati Conspiracy in under three links shall be ignored as tin-hat paranoiac rubbish.​

http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?id=4277

and then click on the "Adam Weishaupt" link on the upper right-hand corner, and you get...

DingDingDingDing!!!! ONE link to an article about the Illuminati Conspiracy.

I rest my case.

Hopefully things will pick up for all of us. You never know....I have not rented my Red in about two months. I have been shooting, but it has been tough. If things get worse then I may consider selling my package...but that would be a last resort.
 
it is a known fact that the intl banking community deliberately crashed the smaller financial institutions to start the initial depression and thus created the Federal Reserve and Income tax to repay the debt accrued by the US govt to the federal reserve which is not a federal org but a private bank that lends money to the govt at interest.
also income tax is illegal as it was never fully ratified in the senate or congress.

regardless sound biz practices would tell you dont spend it if you cant afford it

just my 2 sense
 
Thanks for the reminder, Jim.

Of course, I still hope to be able to buy a Scarlet next year.
 
Good on you, Jim. Wish more CEO's knew their consumers, and respected them.

The Federal Reserve and Federal income tax started in 1913. (good year for bad innovation, hehe). The depression started in 1929. Please get your facts straight before putting on the tinfoil hat. By the way, I'm no fan of either the Federal Reserve or Federal income tax.

And just so this post is not completely off-topic, thanks Jim for your concern for all of us. I know it's sincere.

Cash flow is always essential, especially in hard times. Cash flow is a two-sided equation: we have to keep expenses under control, but we also have to do everything possible to keep money coming in. It's worth spending money if it brings income. Certainly my expenses are being evaluated much more harshly these days, but I can't totally hamstring the future either. One thing's for sure: any equipment I buy right now had better start performing immediately.

I think this company is better positioned than some of the larger camera corporations. RED sold cameras that were hi-value and produced 4 times the going rate for quality during the boom times and made them completely upgradeable. Monies that WILL be spent in the coming retrenchment will flow to this source of image making. Pity the poor Godzillas.

I am not your father. Nor is it my intention to be. But I have some advice that is worth exactly what you are paying for it.

Be very careful with your spending. The world is in financial turmoil right now. I strongly recommend that you take care of your personal finances and tighten your belts.

If you can make a purchase that can make you some money, buy it. If you are considering making a purchase "just because"... please think twice.

Our customers are important to us. But not at the expense of their financial safety. We view RED as a long term partnership with our customers. Not a quick buck.

So be careful. We are all in this together. For the long haul.
