Not only that, but those hours put your hourly rate around $20. Which is about what you would make as an assistant manager at a retail store in the Bay Area.

I was just giving you a tough time there with that. We've all been there. I certainly have. Customer service is always full of challenges and I'd be curious to hear your thoughts about things you've learned and changed since

Absolutely not. I would encourage you to look into "at will" employment law in the US. The employee may have a case for receiving unemployment benefits in that situation, but it is completely within the legal rights of the employe

A strong court case for what? Washington is an "at will" employment state. You can be treated poorly and fired for any reason unless it is for a protected class(race, sex etc). Amazon and his manager could have fired him because t

In an employment "at will" state(Oregon is one), there really is no such thing as a set amount of days. You could get 15 days off and be fired for taking 4 days off in the year. So even if you have a set number of days, your manag

Apologies, I tend to use private equity for all private fund investments, which isn't technically accurate. Thanks for the clarification.

I feel that you may underestimate the amount of insider trading that goes on in private equity. Remember also, the line between insider knowledge being legal or not is somewhat gray. I doubt there is an on record scheme with company memos a

It's just a clever way for the government to spend less than it would. The idea is that it is cheaper to cover all the defaulted loans than it would be to pay for everyone's education upfront. And all the private insurance that wi

The US government has censored the broadcast media(tv, radio) since their formation. So we do have some fairly solid evidence that the US government has not wildly abused that power. I'm not sure this has to be an all or nothing thing.

The real data we have shows that incomes of the people who live in an area has more correlation with the cost of rent than the demand. Amazon will bring in workers that will earn higher salary than the average NYC resident. The only way pri

It's very different because a large amount of NYC residents rent as opposed to own. To a resident that rents in NYC, Amazon moving in means they will have higher rents and less money on their pocket. It ends up costing many NYC residen

It is because a startup is an investment vehicle, not a business. If someone had X amount of dollars they want to maximize the rate of return on that wealth. The point of growth in investing is that you can see the future before it happens
