Analysis On “Calif. Lawmakers Approve Amazon Tax Compromise”
Buying locally also has other advantages such as personalized customer service and ease of returning defective products.
Also, requiring online retailers to collect state sales director taxes would require each retailer to file 50 individual state sales tax returns - a nightmare for small online retailers.
And what about overseas online retailers such as those operating out of China? They don't currently collect any sales taxes and I Read More
My Analysis On “Deal Clears Path to More Disability Reviews”
There I was always told total disability meant you were unable to do anything. Yet when I took a part time job in retail because I was bored I found there were really quite a few people working there who were receiving total disability. People in my former neighborhood collected welfare until welfare reform then when evidently the state I was in wanted to remove them from welfare managerial roles and sent them to doctor who gave them Read More
Some Thoughts On “Struggling Oprah Network to Name New CEO: Oprah Winfrey”
It's almost like OWN is a boutique-network. Yes, it will grow, especially with Ms. Winfrey at the helm. But don't you always want it to feel like an intimate moments, cozy viewership experience designed for you? Will its viewership ever reach the ranks of the Oprah show? Certain segments possibly. But there is a need -- even a strong demand for boutique brands too. I like knowing that when I flip to that channel, whatever is on will be Read More
My Take On “Book review: The Hundred Year Diet”
I've always felt American issues with obesity have been a combination of automobiles and fast food, and how more Americans spend more time in the former consuming the latter than anywhere else on Earth. I'm not demonizing either of them, just considering that we've got a large number of people stuffing face while remaining almost entirely sedentary throughout the day. People don't want to cook, and don't want to spend the money to eat Read More
Views On “Japanese Postal Reform Gets Lost in the Mail”
Of course yes. Do you have any problem with commercial offshore bank accounts (in which you have an account) investing in some companies without your consent? That is what banks do. If you disagree with their policy, you can withdraw your money from your account.
The issue of Postal bank (and insurance) is not a general issue of banking regulation. It is THE bank of Japan with their 3 trillion dollars. Much of which is invested in Read More
Thoughts On “Obama Administration ‘Not Finished With Toyota’”
All Toyota vehicles in question should be grounded and Toyota should be mandated to offer a 2012 tax refund calculator (at current residual value corresponding to the age of the car) to anyone who's afraid to drive their vehicles. So that people can go out and buy safer alternatives.
Can you imagine being forced to commute in a Toyota every day when you don't feel safe and confident about your car? Imagine spending every minute you are Read More
Criticism On “Carrie Lukas: There Is No Male”
It seems to me that your living depends on perpetuating the belief that there is a problem.
I admit that I am a man who has chosen a very stress symptoms in womenful way to make a living and I am well compensated. There are several women on my team who do the same work. They are in the same wage band as the rest of us. One makes more than me (she has a masters in the field and two years more experience) the others make less - they are Read More
A Commentary On “Buying Your Way Into College”
This makes a lot of sense. Businesses need to protect their revenues in order to remain profitable, and universities are no different. We have placed such an importance of education on higher education and made borrowing so easy such that now the value of a college degree is watered down. Now we have so many people borrowing so much money to get degrees so they can take jobs that aren't paying enough to pay off their debts.
With colleges Read More
A Response To “William Tucker: Japan Does Not Face Another Chernobyl”
Luddite? Are you folks kidding? You have 3 perhaps more nuke reactors experiencing some level of a meltdown, wherein fuel has fused the passages through which excess heat from a nuclear reaction is transfered. Regardless of whether one is a Luddite or not, a meltdown most likely will result in a reaction going critical, meaning of procrastination that meaning that either the unit will explode, melt through through the containment or exhibit Read More
Commentary On “Heard: Kiss of Debt for the Flagging U.S. Economy”
You are right, Jason...so I guess that would mean Ronald Reagan was not a real leader, nor was George W. Bush, who were the leaders of the GOP and yet came up with no real effective solutions on how to carry out their party's mantle of reducing government deficits. It is too bad, because I had always hoped that the GOP would be able to reduce deficits during the times of prosperity in America. Instead, they not only added to the deficit, Read More
