Can't take the CEO seriously because he isn't directly affected? That makes no sense. If course the CEo is mostly worried about his employees and customers. Didn't seem like he his to worried about himself. But that's ok

Ironically a box of rocks will probably "improve" (well affect) your audio more than a cable will. As sounds does bounce off objects. That being said there are cheap, worthless cables as well. I'll pay a bit more for a cable

When a single individual/company intentionally dors something bad why not pin it on them? The payment should be more than just making the victim whole. And it should be enough to make sure the aggressor doesn't do it again. At the

I know a us citizen can always vote in a federal election. But generally you can't vote in a local election, unless you live there. I can't tell from the link you posted... But apparently California doesn't care. And some won

Washington State had had a "candy" tax for at least a decade. I put candy on quotes, because some candy is exempt. But then Seattle added their per ounce sweetened soda tax. The per ounce concept always seemed wrong to me. Because

I'm not sure why you think this is not helpful. Yes there is a bit more to it than "how much does it cost to replace you" but it is correct and is helpful. You can still have a discussion, but about what?

The main reason a company pays a person in one locale more than another, is that what it costs to retain that person in that locale. If you want a good person in the bay area or is going to cost more that a person in another area. Cost of

How is it a myth? Yes I was able to get my passport in a day, in person, after paying a bunch of money But most things take forever. Can it be done in a timely manner? Perhaps, but the government hasn't shown much evidence that it is

I think there are three issues. 1) student loan interest rates are to high. They should be like 1%. 2) the minimum payment is to low. Some students aren't paying their debt down, so it grows larger. Finally I think loan forgiveness ben

No. Directing funds to a private school you are a board member of makes zero case for embezzlement. It doesn't even hint at it. It may be unethical, but you aren't stealing the funds but are you misappropriating them. As you said

Worth it to whom? It costs money to deal with transactions. Whether that is cash or credit. 3% can actually be easier and cheaper than dealing with large sums of cash

People are happy to pay 3% fees because it can be cheaper and easier than using cash. Freaking with large sums of cash can be time consuming and expensive.

The memo wasn't "leaked"by cnbc. Unless it was given to cnbc confidentiality. It was either leaked by an employee to cnbc, or more likely it was given to cnbc by an executive.

If they cut out the real estate fees, yeah you can make (save?) More money by selling to them. And they can still turn a profit... A portion of the profit the real estate agents would have made.
