Commentary On “PepsiCo Gives Pepsi”
haha, you should read the comment below by Terry, which makes more sense.
=================
A niche firm serving this niche market ( health conscious consumers) would be more suitable rather than a big company like Pepsi. The majority of Pepsi revenues (20 billion annually in retail sales Globally) is coming Doritos and and Pepsi Cola. It makes sense as a shareholder of a business is to invest in a business that is profitable and generates a return on their capital.You Read More
Opinion On “Craigslist Step Won’t End Fight”
Set aside your opinion on prostitution (pro or con) for a moment. What exactly did this accomplish? This did not decrease the supply of prostitutes or decrease demand. This is simply moving the prostitution medium around slightly.
If you are concerned with human trafficking, then these attorneys general (AGs) should be taken to task for perpetuating it by distracting the public, and diverting resources from catching human traffickers.
If you are concerned with the safety Read More
An Opinion On “John Yoo: Ten Years Without an Attack”
@ Robert
I know what I am responding to. The point you are missing the war against terror included Iraq. Part of the turnaround strategy was to prove was we are no longer a paper tiger. A consequence of Iraq was Dr. Kahn of Pakistan was stopped, Iran discontinued their nuclear weapons program till they thought we would not attack them. Libya came clean with their nuclear WMD program (Libya may have a had different outcome today if that had not happened), and AQ lost Read More
A Response To “UAW Plans New Tactics to Organize at Foreign Car Makers”
It's no surprise that the UAW is beginning to turn up the heat on Ford's management, since Ford is the only UAW infested auto-maker that does not operate under a Federal no-strike agreement.
The first salvo is Bob King's 'moral outrage' aimed at Ford CEO Alan Mulally's equity grant.
The basic problem is that unions operate under a 1930's law that not only pre-supposes an adversarial new relationship advice between 'labor' and 'management', it essentially mandates it. Read More
My View On “Hal Scherz: Dear Patients: Vote to Repeal ObamaCare”
Macrena Sailor, all insurers ration. What everyone went batsh!t nuts over was the end of life marital counseling part of the bill. My father died of stage IV cancer recently. He could have had chemo, but his chance of surviving was less than 5%, so he CHOSE to go peacefully without it. End of life counseling is just that -- helping patients make informed decisions about which treatments are likely to work, and which ones will just prolong pain -- but it is still YOUR Read More
Thoughts On “A Few Mortgages Done on the Side”
The thrust of the article is clearly related to individual investors making a resume hard money loans to individual borrowers, not institutions, as a means to beat the low interest rates available in money market and CD accounts. An institution making such loans is certainly aware of all the disclosure and technical issues. Most individuals making such loans, especially if making multiple loans, are likely unaware of all the pitfalls and disclosures required under state Read More
My View On “The Weekend Interview with Walter Williams: The State Against Blacks”
I'm not interested in the trivia questions unless we deal with a serious comparison of philosophies something you always hide from. You prefer the superficialities where you compare one side to itself rather than two sides to each other. That is a pretty dumb way to discuss politics.
I do, how to deal with a break upever, wish to know why you would like to do to people of color what was done to the Indians by using relief rolls as modern reservations. That is not nice. Read More
My Take On “Wall Street Firms Help Troubled Borrowers Keep Their Homes”
If the holders of the loan won't all agree to restructure your loan then, no, there what is a loan currently no way you can refinance out of your under-water mortgage. Unlike those who are lucky enough to have a loan that was not securitized and/or is an FHA loan and therefore subject to HAMP and other federal regulations, you can only change the terms to the extent the loan servicer has authority to do so. As others have pointed out, many of the holders of these securitized Read More
Analysis On “Job Recruiters Turn to Facebook to Find Candidates”
I read that Google Plus may become the networking tool designed for recruiting, and it will compete head to head with the likes of LinkedIn. As far as Facebook goes, I think that they have proven their inability to be trusted, and many professionals steer away from them because of privacy concerns. The Facebook savvy user even knows to lock down their account to prevent prying eyes from seeing their information. This would deter any recruiter from being able to even Read More
Analysis On “Jamaica’s Growing Violence Threatens Retiree Economy”
Ohh Davi am afraidd puhlease! Why do people go there on vacation...simply because understand that Jamaica is more than what appears in headlines and stories like this. Having been going there for the last 10 years, I've never felt afraid of going there, just like I don't feel afraid to go to New York, Atlanta or Brazil. Crime is in every country in this world-including where you live David. Jamaica is still a paradise of beaches, great food, wonderful people majority Read More
