Yeah...or they simply don't like eating shit on a bun. Don't try to turn this into some jingoist argument. McDonalds is shit, and its about as American as french fries. I know its hard to believe, but there are places in the world where you can still get decent ingredients for home-cooked meals at a good price such that there is no reason to ever want to eat at a McFranchise.
"So, think about it: if there were no supermarkets in French mall, will the malls be more busy?   And you just proved my point: if the French malls allowed bakeries, artisan food stores, fruit and vegetable stands, and typical ""street market"" stores, they will be totally full."
This may not help with the overall grocery issue, but I find that there are items that I can do without the name brand version of.  A handy rule-of-thumb is to start with the least-expensive brand and work your way up, until you find one that your family likes.  For instance, I've learned I can do without French's mustard in favour of no-name, but there's no way I can live without Kraft peanut butter.
"No need, just look at the father of modern pharmacology: Louis Pasteur, the french scientist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Pasteur#Career  What a surprise: publicly funded research in French universities...   You know, the big problem, is that we don't have a dozen parallel universes where we can test various systems to see which one is best in terms of health outcomes. But even the data that you want to go and fetch for me is kind of absurd: the number of new drug discoveries? Who cares? It's not the number that counts, its the end results on public health, longevity... etc! For instance, you can have 10 ""new"" opioid drugs, not sure that proves anything... Capitalism is known for inventing stuff people don't really need, convincing them through mass marketing that they actually DO need it. You could achieve for instance, the same health outcomes with simple, basic prevention policies, healthy eating, less pollution... than pump complex drugs into people's bodies to compensate for other toxic stuff they inhale or eat..   Anyways, I think that quite simply, we should let capitalist firms do what they are best at: mass production via economies of scale, and let universities that are not only seeking profit do the actual research.  Also, public research CAN cope with tons of ""wasteful"" research. It happens all the time that researchers test correlations that turn out to be negative. No one throws a fuss about it! That's the way research is meant to advance."
You should pull your credit report from all the credit reporting agencies annually to make sure only the accounts you know of are being reported.
Many a time even if the tax is deducted and paid by the company it does not reflect as a credit against your PAN for various reasons like, you not submitting it to your employer in time, errors of reconciliation, etc. Its advisable that you inform your company finance officer that you have received such a letter. Q1. The sure shot way of knowing that your company is depositing tax with government is to view your tax credit report. This was set-up in 2004 and gives the details of all credits against your PAN and the tax deducted against your PAN. It shows if the tax was TDS and which employer paid it, or if this was a self assessment, or TCS, etc.  To view this report there are 2 options:  Register directly at http://www.tin-nsdl.com/panregistration.asp.  Follow the one time registration process and keep viewing the tax credits. Note it normally takes 2-3 months to reflect the data.  The other alternative is that quite a few leading banks [Citi, SBI, etc] provide a direct access to this report from their internet banking frontend, provided your PAN is associated to your account. Q2. The only details you need to submit are the Form 16. This would have all the details of when the tax was paid and the BSR number required for reconciling. Q3. TDS is the liability of the employer. However if this has not been deducted or too little was deducted based on incorrect/incomplete information give by you, then its your liability. For example if you change jobs in a year, the tax deducted is always less and you have to pay the difference. Q4. If its established that the company was at fault for not deducting the tax or deducting and not paying it to government on time, there are enough provisions to penalize the company including putting the top management team behind bars.
"Wow, that's expensive.  Here's a list of the channels you get for the 30€ plan:  http://media.abonnez-vous.orange.fr/medias/pdf/divers/chaines-TV.pdf  ( You have to pay extra for the ones in gray and the first 19 channels are free even without a subscription )  There are probably much less channels than in the US but you probably only watch 1% of the available channels.  Since I just checked, extra channels (like Canal+ which you could say is the french equivalent of HBO) are pretty expensive (40€/month). But I only watch American shows ""on the internet"" so I wouldn't know ;)"
The credit card company isn't the one losing money here. It's the airline. The airline credited you back twice (once with the fraud report, once with the credit from the thief). Maybe you should call them if you want it resolved sooner. In any case, if/when they do come looking for their money, they will have the paperwork to prove that it belongs to them.  You can spend the money now and risk paying it back later, you can watch and wait, or you can be proactive and ask the airline to fix it. They may or may not care about that sum.
Surprised that no one has mentioned **Dun &amp; Bradstreet** yet. A lot of small businesses require a D&amp;B number for various reasons (getting an extended verification SSL cert, applying for government contracts, etc). D&amp;B numbers are *free*, but the D&amp;B sales guys will lie and threaten you about expensive up-sells over the course of many phone calls before you can actually get it. Then once you have the number, they send this bullshit spam saying that your credit report has changed, but you got to pay to know what they're saying about you. Sorry for the rant, just D&amp;B is the scummiest company I've dealt with in a long time.
*** **French Revolution** The French Revolution (French: Révolution française [ʁevɔlysjɔ̃ fʁɑ̃sɛːz]) was a period of far-reaching social and political upheaval in France that lasted from 1789 until 1799, and was partially carried forward by Napoleon during the later expansion of the French Empire. The Revolution overthrew the monarchy, established a republic, experienced violent periods of political turmoil, and finally culminated in a dictatorship under Napoleon that rapidly brought many of its principles to Western Europe and beyond. Inspired by liberal and radical ideas, the Revolution profoundly altered the course of modern history, triggering the global decline of absolute monarchies while replacing them with republics and liberal democracies. Through the Revolutionary Wars, it unleashed a wave of global conflicts that extended from the Caribbean to the Middle East. *** ^[ [^PM](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=kittens_from_space) ^| [^Exclude ^me](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiTextBot&amp;message=Excludeme&amp;subject=Excludeme) ^| [^Exclude ^from ^subreddit](https://np.reddit.com/r/economy/about/banned) ^| [^FAQ ^/ ^Information](https://np.reddit.com/r/WikiTextBot/wiki/index) ^| [^Source](https://github.com/kittenswolf/WikiTextBot/) ^] ^Downvote ^to ^remove ^| ^v0.22"

well Russia is the biggest importer of meat and fruits from the EU. so yeah, it kinda hurts... but I don't really think anything will change. once those sectors get hurt, subsidies will poor in so ppl won't lose jobs. sure it hurts, a bit, but on large scale it's rather a joke.  on the other hand, 12 years ago when the US renamed French fries to freedom fries, and german imports were rejects for over 3 month, that was more childish than trade sanctions.
It will be considered 'unused credit'. I have tried it yeas ago. They just report zero usage.
Not sure, as there's not a lot of info about projections in article, but this seems off. Report from Bloomberg is saying analysts revised down to around $49.0 billion.   [Bloomberg Report](https://ww.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-09-10/hurricane-irma-smashes-ashore-in-florida-as-category-4-storm)   Edit: the $49 billion figure is the revised estimate for Irma
"Here's a very basic MySQL query I put together that does what I want for income/expense report. Basically it reports the same info as the canned income/expense report, but limits it those income/expenses associated with a particular account (rental property, in my case). My main complaint is the output ""report"" is pretty ugly. And modifying for a different rental property requires changing the code (I could pass parameters etc). Again, the main ""issue"" in my mind with GnuCash income/expense report is that there is no filter for which account (rental property) you want income/expenses for, unless you set up account tree so that each rental property has its own defined incomes and expenses (i.e. PropertyA:Expense:Utility:electric). Hopefully someone will point me to a more elegant solution that uses the report generator built into GnuCash. THanks!

Summarized article: Huawei and ZTE, China's two largest telecommunications companies, disputed the findings of a report by the House Intelligence Committee which determined that both companies pose a national security threat.   The report determined that using equipment from Huawei and ZTE could provide opportunities for Chinese intelligence services to tamper or spy on US telecommunications networks.   Huawei and ZTE failed to cooperate with a year-long investigation and to fully explain their relationship with the Chinese government, according to the report.   Additionally, the report noted Huawei's pattern of illegal behavior in the US, including intellectual property violations, immigration violations and bribery and corruption. Committee officials intend to refer their findings to federal law enforcement agencies.  In response to the report, both Huawei and ZTE said they fully cooperated with the congressional investigation and called the findings baseless. They also deny they are controlled by the Chinese government.   Additionally, Huawei said it believes the congressional findings were predetermined in order to impede competition and block Chinese telecommunications companies from entering the US market.   Although Huawei often refers to its business operations in the United Kingdom to show the company's integrity, Huawei has been consistently passed over for contracts in the US. Huawei was also blocked from bidding on an Australian national contract in March.  * For more summarized news, subscribe to the [/r/SkimThat](http://www.reddit.com/r/SkimThat) subreddit
Looks like it's $500 to start (certificate of organization) and $500 per year after that (for an annual report). Start here: http://1.usa.gov/haxLUB And that's just for the state to recognize you as an LLC.
You mentioned that the 1099B that reports this sale is for 2014, which means that you got the proceeds in 2014. What I suspect happened was that the employer reported this on the next available paycheck, thus reporting it in the 2015 period. If this ends up being a significant difference for you, I'd argue the employer needs to correct both W2s, since you've actually received the money in 2014. However, if the difference for you is not substantial I'd leave it as is and remember that the employer will not know of your ESPP sales until at least several days later when the report from the broker arrives. If you sell on 12/31, you make it very difficult for the employer to account correctly since the report from the broker arrives in the next year.
"Bank for International Settlements (BIS) are the guys in Switzerland that came up with the Basel accords and gave us fun things like Capital Adequacy Ratios and kept bankers constipated for the last decade.  It seems According to them, the bankers have been up to no good again and have been engaging in bank to bank currency swaps and derivative swaps in a manner that has allowed them to by pass regulatory safe guards and hide the debt off balance sheet, and a situation is occurring where they have to pay back their debt before the debt that is owed to them matures and that could lead to a credit crunch and liquidity crisis.  The trigger they feel for this could be a rise in inflation in the US which would lead to the Fed raising rates or an unforeseen shock to the dollar that would tighten the market.   ""Signs of excess are visible everywhere. “Corporate debt is now considerably higher than it was pre-crisis. Leverage indicators have reached levels reminiscent of those that prevailed during previous corporate credit booms. A growing share of firms face interest expenses exceeding earnings before interest and taxes,” said the report.  Up shit creek and its in danger of popping"
The slips from your bank for your HSA account are for an account already established and thus the bank is willing to accept your deposits even if they arrive at the bank after the April 15 deadline, as long as the postmark  is April 15 or earlier. The account exists in the bank, they know who you are, and that the payment is received after April 15 is just due to the normal (or even abnormal) delays in postal delivery. For the new account that you tried to establish (with appropriate notarization and timely postmark etc), the credit union could not  have received the paperwork as of the close of business on April 15 (except in the very unlikely circumstance that a local letter deposited in the mailbox in the morning gets delivered the same day by USPS: don't extrapolate from stories of how mail was delivered in London in Victorian times). Ergo, you did not  have an HSA account in the credit union as of April 15, and they are perfectly correct in refusing to open an account with a April 15 date and put money into it for the previous tax year. To answer the question asked:  Are they allowed to ignore the postmark date? Yes, not only are they allowed to ignore the postmark date, the IRS insists that they ignore the postmark date. The credit union prefers to report only the truth: as of April 15, you had not established an HSA account as of April 15; to say otherwise would be making a false statement to the IRS.

If you give me $216k to trash my credit report, I'll take it every time. People place too much value on the ability to borrow rather than having cash up front. I never pay interest (I do use a credit card and pay it off every month).  Why would you need to borrow money if you effectively got handed $200k? Of course, if your networth went from -$200k to 0, you are still broke. But considering that you were in that situation in the first place, the inability to borrow money may be a good thing.
Because the Netherlands is smaller than almost every state in the US. It is ~237 times smaller than the US. Logistics in the US are a nightmare. I looked at the size comparison compared to my state, I drive half the width of your country to work every morning. So round trip I drive the entire width of your country in one day just to get to work.
Remember that there are always fees and variations in the exchange rate that a user will get for their home country's currency, even if they change money at the same place at two different times on the same day. As a result, I would recommend building in a simple form that allows a user to enter how much they exchanged and how much they got back to calculate the exchange rate. So for example, let's say I have $ 200.00 USD and I exchanged $ 100.00 USD for £ 60.00, and there was a £ 3.00 fee for the exchange. The exchange rate would be 0.6, and when the user enters a currency conversion, your site could create three separate transactions such as: USD Converted to £: $100.00 £ Received from Exchange: £ 60.00 Exchange Fee: £ 3.00 So if the user exchanged currency and then ran a balance report by Currency, you could either show them that they now have $ 100.00 USD and £ 57.00, or you could alternatively choose to show the £ 57.00 that they have as $95.00 USD instead. If you were showing them a transaction report, you could also show the fee denominated in dollars as well. I would recommend storing your balances and transactions in their own currencies, as you will run into some very interesting problems otherwise. For example, let's say you used a reference currency tied to the dollar. So one day I exchange $ 100.00 USD for £ 60.00. In this system I would still have 100 of my reference currency. However, if the next day, the exchange rate falls and $ 1.00 USD is only worth £ 0.55, and I change my £ 60.00 back into USD, I will get approxiamately $ 109.09 USD back for my £ 60.00. If I then go and buy something for $ 100.00 USD, the balance of the reference currency would be at 0, but I will still have $ 9.09 USD in my pocket as a result of the fluctuating currency values! That is why I'd recommend storing currencies as themselves, and only showing them in another currency for convenience using calculations done ""on the fly"" at report runtime. Best of luck with your site!"
Can no one read? I never said anything about equivalence, it was an example of an off the books subsidy. And I'll pose the same question to you as the other commenter, do you think that having solar panels on your roof will keep the government from sending our military to other countries? Because if you do, that's truly laughable.   Apparently that author is clairvoyant enough to announce a 2016 report in an article dated July, 9th 2014. But I'll just assume you didn't actually read any of it. I did, and I'm not saying those figures are wrong, but that report has a clear stated agenda that is anti-oil/coal.  The report I linked was to a US agency that was only making the information available. It may also have inaccuracies, but I'm going to assume that data for identical years in these reports being interpreted wildly differently indicates one is manipulating the information. I'd assume that someone with an agenda would be more likely to manipulate the data than an agency just seeking to publish data.  Regardless, those inconsistencies should have some explanation.
So I was working at my dad's perfume store yesterday so he can take a day off. And I don't have that much experience, I occasionally fill in whenever he needs to take a day off for something. So yesterday I thought it was my lucky day cause I had two groups of people come in and buy nearly 500$ worth of items each but with credit cards. Now once again I don't have that much experience with this type of work. I just sold them the stuff but the procedure was the same as with any other group of people buying multiple items. Show them multiple stuff, bargain, and eventually they buy the stuff. I entered the price on the machine, they put in the card, they put in the pin, they signed the receipt and it was the end of that. Turns out both groups used stolen cards. So I get a call from my brother today saying both cards were stolen and we might not get the money for the stuff. But I pretty much followed the procedure I was told to, its just I don't know why we wouldn't get the money back.
"I experimented with Lending Club, lending a small amount of money in early 2008. (Nice timing right - the recession was December 2007 to June 2009.) I have a few loans still outstanding, but most have prepaid or defaulted by now. I did not reinvest as payments came in. Based on my experience, one ""catch"" is lack of liquidity. It's like buying individual bonds rather than a mutual fund. Your money is NOT just tied up for the 3-year loan term, because to get good returns you have to keep reinvesting as people pay off their loans. So you always have some just-reinvested money with the full 3 year term left, and that's how long it would take to get all your money back out. You can't just cash out when you feel like it. They have a trading platform (which I did not try out) if you want your money sooner, but I would guess the spreads are wide and you have to take a hit when you sell loans. Again though I did not try the trading platform. On the upside, the yields did seem fine. I got 19 eventual defaults from 81 loans, but many of the borrowers made a number of payments before defaulting so only part of the money was lost. The lower credit ratings default more often obviously, only one of 19 defaults had the top credit score. (I tried investing across a range of credit ratings.) The interest rates appear to cover the risk of default, at least on average. You can of course have varying luck. I made only a slight profit over the 3 years, but I did not reinvest after the first couple months, and it was during a recession. So the claimed yields look plausible to me if you reinvest. They do get people's credit scores, report nonpayment on people's credit reports, and even send people to collections. Seems like borrowers have a reason to pay the bill. In 2008 I think this was a difference compared to the other peer lending sites, but I don't know if that's still true. Anyway, for what it's worth the site seemed to work fine and ""as advertised"" for me.
