Yeah just saw that Royal bank of Scotland after awarding there higher ups 100 million pound (Thats about $152,315,459.25) In bonuses 48 hours later firing 700 staff because there not making enough money. Tell me again how top brass arent getting overpaid?
And to think they could easily have simply awarded themselves half the bonus, and kept those 700 people on -- but that would be madness! These people are job creators! They deserve that extra money for creating negative 700 jobs!
I, alas, can't favorite that, TOZ, because it does not call for international proletarian socialist revolution, but it does sound dreamy.
Yeah, but with more orgies.

You should favorite because it shows how things can actually work with a populist, nonviolent, workers revolution.
I already said it was dreamy! That's as far as I go!

Maybe not directly on-topic, but an interesting read here.
I find it very interesting that the "first and arguably foremost" factor identified by the author (ie, one all-encompassing middle-class) is also a very noteworthy trait of Japan, which shares with Iceland the very low crime rate (or at least a very pervasive feeling of safety).
I now wonder if it is a simple coincidence that both countries are islands pretty far from the nearest continent.
Note that the "encompassing middle-class" is an opinion of the citizens and not necessarily a reality (at least in Japan, I know it is more akin to a consensual illusion).
And, also in Japan, the price to pay for this feeling of safety is both suffocating social pressure AND xenophobia.

Call me a tease!

Well it's not like the ~200k per person would have been enough to...oh wait.
You played two hands of Rummy 500, burned the deck, and took a drag off a roach and then came out here to imply an assault of some sort.
Tease.
Actually, I was trying to imply a hot oil rubdown...
Also, stop telling my secrets.

I just realized I take exception to the title. CEOs don't earn 354 times more than the average worker -- they're just paid that. That's really the point.

Can't believe that got past my sensors.
Maybe they're called hard-working Americans because they work their subordinates hard.
Because they work Americans, hard... ??
I'm giving up on this thread. It was fun! I'm turning over to comrade anklebiter.
Vive le Galt!

Great point. However, it doesn't really matter anymore, because the government is going to redistribute all the money, so we are all equal.
Finally, something is being done.

Aaaaaand here we go with another thread necroed.
Aaaaaand here we go with another thread necroed.
All the threads are active ALL THE TIME, and PMG + his minions have put a
lot of effort into making the board easy to use and navigate.You don't understand how this board works -- Look in the upper-right.
You can see all the 'Currently Active' threads using the navigation-tabs: << first < prev | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | next > last >>

Oh, do you only read the front page??? hahhahahaa.

I read the time stamps. =)

Oh? Do tell oh great one, what is the duration of "Current"? And, more
importantly at what click-tick does "Necro" occur?Because then the programming can be changed, so the board behaves Correctly.
Here, have a trophy.

There's a funky instrumental by James Brown called popcorn.
This seems relevant.

I can't help but wonder "what if" Obama had not admitted it?
Would it somehow be different?
