   I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect this is an intractable change in our economy. I also have another feeling (in which I once again hope I'm wrong) that a solution to said issue won't come until a lot of pain has been dealt out.

   The fact that this is even uttered is troubling, a business shouldn't be able to intimidate any form of government so easily that the basic premises law and order gets skewed.

   The issue is a bit more complex than that (and I doubt middle management has a firm enough grasp on how to let go 10,000 people within a shot-time frame with proper diligence). There is a vested interest in deregulating the immigration syst

   The argument "we can't fill all these open positions, please let us bring in foreign workers" then firing 10,000 people contradicts why they want the government to deregulate the system.

   ^ To add to this I'd lay say the over-valuation(s) are a side-effect of our monetary policy being in never-ending "stimulus" mode. On Intel I think the "everything is going mobile" is PR for investors, the PC market

   I don't agree that Bush and Obama share governing strategies. For example GWB was very comfortable out-sourcing large problems to his lieutenants, whereas Obama seems to do it only if he feels it'd result in a better outcome if he

    I don't think any meaningful correlation can be drawn from what a head-of-state or high ranking politician studied in college or where they went to college to their aptitude/competence for governance. Our last two presidents have

    When I took a job on Wall St, I was not vetted at all by any type of third party agency (credit, background, etc...). It was only 6 or so years ago I had a minimum wage job ringing up products at a convenience store, I had a drug test every

    I have trouble imagining a policy resembling basic income being politically feasible in the U.S. People who rely on the major entitlement programs already in place (medicare, medicaid, and social security) have very humble lifestyles, and d

    I really don't get the need to be a "better" achievement. SpaceX's immediate objective is affordable transport into space, Apollo was solely focused on human-manned space exploration... So we can agree that this is a cas
