This is nothing more than a great way to sell out plane and ensure that no more seats are available at any price, even a high price that would be willingly paid by someone who really, really needs it. The fact that this isn't the general reaction by the public is indicative of a gross lack of education in basic economics, just like the following:  Lack of understanding in evolution: If people came from apes, why are there still apes?  Lack of understanding in geometry: How can the Earth be round if the horizon always rises to eye level?  Lack of understanding in statistics: If global warming is real, how come we hit a record for coldest July in this one town I heard about?  Lack of understanding in economics: If a business dramatically underprices their extremely limited goods, it helps the people who really need those goods.
Well, it probably has something to do with the fact that they're not really fully opposing SOPA; they just provided some lip-service on that issue because they were losing business, and people are not fooled. They're not sorry; they're just sorry that they got caught supporting something as terrible as SOPA.  But really... Why the hell would people use GoDaddy in the first place? There are plenty of registrars and hosts that offer more for less, have a better reputation, and don't have to resort to whoring out T&amp;A to get business. I've never viewed GoDaddy as something I would seriously use.
You must not be from around these parts.  AT&amp;T &amp; Verizon have really done an excellent job at nothing.  I mange 25 lines for the company I work at.  having that many lines, I see some fun things.  We have at times been with both AT&amp;T, Verizon, and T-Mobile.  Of the 3 only T-Mobile has the honor of more than 3 consecutive months without a billing error.  Infact our 2 years with T-Mobile, there was only 3 billing errors.  AT&amp;T had errors monthly, Verizon was as bad.  Signal, of course varies from one local to another, but here all 3 suck the hind tit.  I have nothing from my experience with AT&amp;T and Verizon that I could say positively about the quality of the service.
&gt; No, because we would be there way faster if the moronic Republicans didn't fight it constantly. In fact, if it wasn't for those dickheads global warming wouldn't even be an issue.  What? You can't seriously think US Republicans are solely responsible for global climate change.
Their future is certainly not guaranteed, but the have the biggest head start.  The board is not the issue - the criticisms are of the leadership (or lack thereof), the culture, and the former CEO.  Even despite the issues, Uber still controls global market share for consumer ride share apps, and has been first to market with driverless trucks too.  Uber will be fine.

Having a strong brand name is of paramount importance in recruitment if you are to be at the top of your game.   But which companies are embracing the business of branding? And those that aren’t using branded advertising, why not?

&gt;ever heard of unions? They love seniority.  One of the main reasons why labor intensive manufacturing has left the midwest and new england. Unionized industries like airlines and auto manufacturing have seen most major firms go bankrupt in the last decade.  &gt;Over time, this is how asian countries will take over with their education and work ethic being at the top of their values.  This could happen but I think Asian aversion to innovation will prevent them from racing past the US. Becoming a developed country shouldn't really be that hard. There is an easy playbook followed by Japan, South Korea etc. Leading the global economy in a rich country is a much more difficult task.  &gt;and as for those who went to college, did poorly, picked bad majors, and are wondering why the fact they went to college isnt landing them a plush job, welcome to how it has always been. Just doing the minimum of going to college hasnt been enough for a very long time and people were naive to think that there was ever a golden path or ticket to success.  This is Obama's base: entitled whiners who need the government to give them goodies because they have no marketable skills.
The value is set by the economy etc., not the medium used as a currency. So yes, people will probably always use gold as money, but that doesn't make the money worth anything, it's just a medium of exchange. Incidentally two other things should be noted. The first is that you have a problem when the medium itself used for a currency becomes worth more than the face value. Hence why we stopped using silver in coins, and there were concerns over pennies due to the price of copper. This leads to the second point, which is that currently, gold is TOO RARE to suffice as a world currency, hence why all countries went off the gold standard years ago. The size of national and global economies was growing faster than the supply of gold, and hence it was becoming impossible to have enough gold to back all the currencies (inflation concerns aside).
In its core market, McDonald's is also contending with an intensifying campaign to improve wages and other conditions for fast-food workers. The National Labor Relations Board determined last month that McDonald's could be treated as a joint employer with its franchisees in labor complaints, which could make the company liable for the actions of its franchisees. The decision by the NLRB's general counsel came in response to complaints alleging that McDonald's and its franchisees violated the rights of employees involved in protests seeking higher wages and the right to organize. McDonald's vowed to fight the decision. Also last month, McDonald's suffered a major setback in China, which had been a bright spot for its global growth, when authorities accused a supplier of selling expired meat to McDonald's and other fast-food outlets. The meat, from Shanghai Husi Food Co., a subsidiary of longtime McDonald's supplier OSI Group Inc. of the U.S., had been sold to restaurants in China, Japan and other markets that account for approximately 10% of global systemwide sales. McDonald's cut ties with Shanghai Husi, forcing it to halt sales of burgers and chicken McNuggets at many of its more than 2,000 restaurants in China as it worked to find alternative suppliers. The chain said Monday it hoped within a week to return those items to the menus. McDonald's previously indicated that full-year 2014 global comparable sales were expected to be relatively flat, but now the company is saying the China supplier issue has put its global sales forecast for 2014 at risk. ""Going forward, McDonald's is undertaking recovery strategies to restore customers' trust and confidence"" in those markets, the company said Friday. Investors took the news on Friday with relative calm, with McDonald's shares gaining 24 cents to close at $93.55. Still, the stock—which nearly tripled in value from 2002 through 2011 and was one of the best performers during the recession—has risen just over 5% since Mr. Thompson took over in July 2012, underperforming key indexes and the shares of major rivals. The U.S., home to more than 14,000 of McDonald's 35,000-plus global restaurants, has been particularly challenging for McDonald's, where the company has said it has lost relevance with consumers.
Perhaps the world does not like a Global economy dominated by a Fucking Moron, Perhaps the world does not see a future in a Jew dominated Fed that can print whatever it thinks sounds like fun and then lend it to the US treasury in an insurmountable mountain of debt.  Gosh . . .isn't the FED supposed to be pretending to unwind all  that 0 market valuation crap from 2008 ?  I wonder if there are even any houses after a decade
A proper world porfolio is a non-trivial task. No one answer exists which is the best one and how one should construct it. World? The problem with world portfolio is that it is not well-defined. Providers use it as they wish and people use it as they wish, read the history for further ado (messy stuff). You can build yourself world portfolio but warning it is getting harder. You can use this tool by selecting global equity to search through global funds -- it is very useful and allows you to find the low-cost funds with PE/PB/Div.yield. Also, investigate topic more with this tool, less spam.

"Those are the ""right"" yields. They are historically (but not ""nonsensically"") low. Those yields are reflective of the sluggish U.S. and global economic activity of the past decade. If global growth were higher, the yields would be higher. The period most nearly comparable to the past 10 years in U.S. and world history was the depressed 1930s. (I am the author of this 2004 book that predicted a stock market crash (which occurred in 2008), and the modern 1930s, but I was wrong in my assumption that the modern 1930s would involve another depression rather than 'slow growth.')"
If you don’t want your high-end rest house to just sit around for most of the year, only to be used during one of your rare, out-of-town family vacations, you might as well earn a profit out of it by turning it into a guesthouse.
Ah.  See, this is where you have already misread me: &gt; . . . you attempt to construct a government and a society around false economic morality.  Why does morality have to be part of the actual solution?  It doesn’t.  Yet it can take into account moral values and immoral values.  The solution SHOULD be utilitarian - use that which works.  But not the utilitarian that throws out things that don’t quite work.  No.  It need to be a utilitarian method with foresight to see promise, and to understand the weakness of intolerance.  Our current system is actually promoting separation, building its own downfall.  A new system needs to actually be built to create unity through diversity, not for moral reasons, but for simple survival and growth.  And no one said people weren’t paid.  That was all you, bud.  I was simply saying they were able to put aside differences and survive through major setbacks to accomplish great things.  Sticking around during tough times requires either fear of the alternative, or a belief in the company or the goal.  People are NOT always selfish.
I’ve seen a bunch of government rfp’s. They almost all have requirements for cobol and mainframe. When the requirements aren’t filled due to skill shortage they close them. Then just open them again later hoping to not have to modernize.   I wish entries had the gumption to just go through the pain. Yes it will hurt and be expensive. But you get to survive. Otherwise things will get old and break. Then there will be no one to fix it.
It’s pretty damn good! You probably wouldn’t notice that you weren’t eating meat assuming it was prepared right. The one I ate had pretty thin patties that were nicely caramelized / crispy on the outside and edges. Tasted like a beef burger cooked smash style
As an employee of one of these firms, us auditors are the bread and butter while consulting work is sexy and just the flavor of the week.  And now that my personal rant is over, I definitely agree with the point of the article. But you must understand that any Channel 1 audit client will not be allowed to receive any consulting from the same firm. In fact, often times when fraud happens one of the Big 4 will hire another firm to investigate, just look at what's unfolding with MF Global.
Investors hungry for returns are piling back into securities once tarnished by the financial crisis. Complex structured investments developed a bad reputation during the credit crunch. Ten years later, investors seeking yield are overcoming their skepticism and buying into securities that rely on financial engineering to juice returns. Volumes of CLOs, or collateralized loan obligations, hit a record $247 billion in the first nine months of the year, according to data from J.P. Morgan Chase JPM 1.59%▲ &amp; Co. Fueled by a wave of refinancings and nearly $100 billion in new deals, that far outpaces their recent full-year high of $151 billion in 2014 and the precrisis peak of $136 billion in 2006. The CLO boom is the latest sign of the ferocious hunt for yield permeating markets. Stellar performance over the past year has made CLOs increasingly hard to ignore for investors like insurance companies and pension funds. CLOs carve up a portfolio of bank loans to highly indebted companies into slices of securities with different levels of risk. The securities at the bottom of the CLO stack offer the highest potential source of returns, but they are also the first to absorb losses if there are defaults in the underlying loan portfolio. The more senior slices offer lower returns but are more insulated from losses. CLOs are often lumped together with other alphabet-soup acronyms of the financial crisis, such as more toxic CDOs, or collateralized debt obligations. But CLOs actually weathered the financial crisis well: Investors who bought at the top of the market in 2007 suffered paper losses, but there were no defaults at all for the highest-rated securities. That track record has helped boost CLOs’ appeal for investors with lingering concerns over scooping up more complex investments. . Taking off / Global CLO volumes “The demand for things like CLOs….is extraordinary,” said Rick Rieder, chief investment officer for global fixed income at BlackRock Inc. CLOs are one of the largest demand sources for the leveraged loan market, which has also been booming this year. Volumes of leveraged loans, often used by private-equity firms to fund buyouts, are on track to surpass their 2007 record, according to LCD, a unit of S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence.
Global warming is not flaw of capitalism. It is due to crony capitalism.  In the economic theory I told you about, it is called externality. Usually externality are handled via regulation. For global warming, best way to do this would be via carbon tax and etc which most economist support.  The whole market solving everything by itself is myth created by republicans. All economist agree good regulations are needed on certain areas.  You are right that you can't credit capitalism for us success, but those natural resources only go so far. It really is the strong institution we have in US capitalism that made us so special.  There are tons of research on effect of natural resources already.  I am not asking you to refute me, but google some lectures on some ideas starting with Ricardian theory. It really is eye opening stuff. It was for me at least.
Ashland Global Holdings Inc. (ASH) sold off their ownership in Valvoline Inc. (VVV).  Friday, May 12 was the distribution date of the sale; at the end of the day, every stockholder of ASH received 2.745338 shares of VVV stock for each share of ASH held.  That is why the value of ASH has dropped significantly on open this morning. Sources:
Well, to put things simply, the government debt level has to do with the money spent by government vs the revenue the government collects. The only tenuous connection between the stock market price and the capital gains tax collected at the end of the year. Granted there should be an increase in the CGT, it would be on the actual transactions made that incurred in Capital Gains. That is, at best, a drop in the bucket. Which Trump, by the way, wants to reduce. Since over a year, 100% of the shares are not exchanged, this would not be even remotely close to the increase in stock market value.   The Government simply us no ownership over the stock market value. The stock market also does not count into GDP, so you couldn’t use that to say your debt to GDP ratio declined.   They are just so unrelated that it’s senseless to link them.
DannyInternets considers MF Global and John Corzine to be the same thing. His monkeysphere is not big enough to fit all of MF Global's employees, so he thinks that John Corzine physically lost the money.  This is bad, it leads to scapegoating, if that 'fucker' went to prison there'd be a whole bunch of people who are more guilty getting away with everything.

"The Bank of England will simply increase some numbers in a computer.  It will then buy UK Government Bonds (debt) and other financial assets from their favorite banks and investment firms with the newly created money that they just pulled out of thin air.  It's a win-win-lose.  Your government wins by getting more cash to waste, the elite global bankers win by getting more cash to swim around in, and you lose because the money supply inflates, so the small amount of cash you have now has even less buying power.  It's the perfect scheme for the government and banking elites.  They steal your money from you without you even noticing and just pretend it's a normal part of life.  But I expect all the Krugman worshipers to tell me why I'm wrong, throw around some obscure keyensian terms like ""liquidity trap"", and tell you why this is all good for you and to just shut up, accept it and keep quite."
Not sure how to feel about this just yet. On one hand, I feel like it's a potentially worthy blow to an industry in need of a good one. On the other, it scares me that Amazon is becoming deeply entrenched into so much of our lives. What happened to antitrust laws? And why are some people so pleased to see another major market monopoly?

In the case of HP, in the early to mid 1990's they had done really well, but by the late 90's the board and shareholders wanted to see even more profits thanks to the internet boom. They ousted their CEO Platt, who rose through the HP ranks, brought in Fiorina who was from AT&amp;T (old Long Distance AT&amp;T not the SBC/Cingular one we have now), who over-promised and never delivered and basically forced HP in buying Compaq which nearly destroyed HP.  The only reason why HP is still around today is thanks to its business line of workstations and printers. The company made many bad decisions during Fiorini tenure which was amazing that anyone trusted her, but I'm guessing she was great at hissy fits. Somehow she has made a name for herself and is now trying politics and her type of leadership fits perfectly with the current republican party.
