No one is suggesting anything of the sort. An employer already does research into what generally is the normal pay and costs of living for their area. So generally speaking they know if the pay they are offering would put a zero asset perso

Or maybe they could move them and give them a raise from all the savings found elsewhere.... Like rent, property, taxes and so on. In Canada CN move their head office from Toronto to Calgary. They paid for the moves, gave everyone a one tim

Obviously they can do what they want, but does it make them good people? Not in my book.

I really don't understand why companies that know they are paying poverty like wages for an area don't just move the company or segment of the company to a more affordable area. It seems obvious to me they really just don't c

Yes I agree. The quality of almost everything has dramatically improved, but I believe even if it was the same quality the bidding wars would push prices up to the same level. In my city I've seen 30 year old houses go up in value by 1

It's more likely that Apple did the work for them and they are both hiding it.

My family situation aside, it looks as though the average cost of a house in the 30's was $7145 in historical money [src]. I'd imagine 1930 itself was probably lower than that average over the period, but I'm not sure. [src -

In 1930 my grandfather bought his house for $20K. So one years salary. But in 1930 people spent 80 percent of their monthly income on food. So house costs have gone up dramatically and food costs have gone down dramatically (as a proportion

Which is still much cheaper than renting a 48 hour movie from Apple iTunes which seems to still have a market. Sure this is not a game changer per say, but fits the criteria of "remaining" on the cutting edge in delivering conte

Unless everyone is waking up to find poop on the kitchen table every morning for so long that they then begin treating it as normal. Which is what the parent post is suggesting - that we are already there.

It's because people identify "sea floor" as being in a, relatively speaking, fixed position. Moving rocks from the sea floor != move sea floor.

Sorry, but the parents post still has legs. Given a percentage of the population are in fact rapist assoholes and the fact that rural areas are naturally more private with more opportunity for occurrences, I will suggest there's good r

I'm not a fan of the clintons, reading about the whitewater scandal was enough for me to determine there's corruption abound with them; and I also support reducing oil consumption and further taxing of oil companies, but I have to

Which does not surprise me. Under the current economic conditions only the most prolific wells are going to be drilling. That's why I suggested the last 5 years. Also, I eluded to the work that is "to be done". So when the lo

Yeah, sadly there doesn't seem to be a free and publicly available body of data we can get a true picture from. It would be nice to have a list of all horizontal wells drilled in the last 5 years with target depths and lengths, but I d

As I understand it shale formations holding petroleum are often 500 to 1000 feet down. Add that these are also fracked horizontally over hundreds of feet as well and I'll suggest there's a real worry to deal with. I also think the

Every legit news source is reporting doctors will have the right to NOT participate. Everything else is opinionated propaganda. Right now the community is debating if they should require that doctors provide information on where/whom t
