There's Goldman Sachs, the Sugar Cane Lobby, non-profits that raise money against childhood obesity. It'll really be voting with wallets.

yep. another person that's completely bought into the media narrative of they're not playing nice, therefore it must be bad. I happen to think the popular narrative that this will end in financial disaster to be wrong. I think pre

why is this a bad thing? less spending on something pretty much everyone agrees is bloated is bad? it's like saying morbidly obese person has slightly less access to food. every person in the media seems to assume this is a bad thing.

I hate when people say stuff like X should get paid more or Y should get paid less. You can't say that without explaining your moral system. You can't go from is to ought.

this is the equivalent of waiting for the second and third albums of a one-hit wonder. and even that one hit is strikingly overrated and immature.

Uh, no. I think they're identifying her for what she is. Immature. She's coming from a perspective where the world owes her a fulfilling career. Mature people think about changing themselves, not blaming their situation.

That's why I said "being at Google" not Google itself. Again, she's looking at things from a very immature perspective, that of life owing her a fulfilling career without actually doing what she's claiming to be doi

Here's why I think it's such a frustrating article... It's ultimately an immature sentiment expressed by an immature person enclosed in a veneer of maturity. The subtle thing here is that she's blaming being at Google fo

There's another alternative. You can change laws so that student loans will be dischargeable via bankruptcy. It's not popular yet, but more stories like this and that's a much more likely path. Libertarians on the right and S

First, about half of people that go to college don't graduate in 6 years. That means the asset isn't upgraded but the costs and loans still live on. http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2013/02&#x

Austrian economists will beg to differ. The problem with those studies is that it's cherry-picking economists. Who cares about concensus? The measuring stick should be how correctly they can predict future events.

Economists are no different than the prophets of old. Everyone claims to be speaking the truth. What's sad is that they live off the 1 correct prediction while disregarding the 20 that they completely failed on. The field simply is not

"...the costs will be substantial..." This is an article of faith for the green crowd. I and many others are skeptical of such a claim, especially when temperatures have dropped despite higher emissions the past 10 years.

It sounds like they see it as a way to get money into paypal. That is, it's no different than a bank deposit. In other words, an easy way to transfer BTC->USD ("funding instrument"). What they'll then do is dump the BTC they get on the

The "loss of confidence" part, I don't see why that shouldn't be taken into account. If a candidate can't recover from failing, they're not likely going to do the same when they fail in their job. It also may indicate that the candidate is

Horrific story with what happens when you cross slavery and the holocost. That said, don't be so sure we're much better. Here's North Korea's perspective of what we're like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NMr2VrhmFI
