If a company is managing public relations, then documenting who is making the statements and what those statements are seems practical. Documenting the statements that politicians make is practiced by the media and other politicians, so it shouldn’t be surprising that a company would do the same.

This sounds pretty dystopian here. You don’t get to pick and choose the facts and data points you like and be considered journalism.

Purdue didn’t just have mis-leading marketing, they falsified data. That is fraud. Purdue should end up in bankruptcy from this ordeal and pieces being sold off to pay the settlements. Those who signed off on falsified data and claims to the FDA or other government authorities should be criminally liable.

They had a fund preparing for this that has more than 10B in it between Purdue and Rhodes. 

Popeyes sounds like they mis-managed the situation but the American consumer remains the root cause of the problem. 

Is it really capitalism or more just humanity? China is going to consume far more than the US over the next 50 years and it is a communist country.

It seems to be a host of reasons but structurally you need a 3:1 ratio (conservatively) of active workers to retirees to sustain the pension model. When you look at states like NJ, the DMV is going to become more automated and more equipment lessens workers needed on roadwork, etc.

Pension funds really should be converted to some kind of 401k or retirement savings account. Pension’s are paid by current workers funding the retired workers and this is all growing more and more unpredictable and given how underfunded these are, it is unsustainable. 

Only one I know of calling his supporters fat, criticizing his opponent wives appearances, and the list goes on.

Teddy was a fit guy and was into exercise and boxing but working out came more out of the 70's/80's. A lot of people were just fitter because life required it and people were generally more active.

What doesn’t make sense about establishing a UBI under the assumption that the labor force participation rate jumps to 30% or higher? Automation is going to increase and be disruptive. Technology is behind the growth in wealth inequality more than any tax policy is.

Bush and Obama seemed relatively fit. Bush ran and worked out and Obama seemed to play a lot of basketball. 

He doesn’t have a viable shot at the nomination unless there is some kind of cosmic change. He is important though because he is forcing an important issue that we need to have a dialogue about so hopefully that ends up happening.

This site loves to go after Yang for whatever reason regardless of how inconsistent a criticism like this is.

My feelings are just shattered, but when do you think my just deserts is coming?

Kap is using his protest angle to capitalize and monetize his position with Nike. His message carriers more weight if he is a martyr because we are talking about Kap and not talking about someone like Malcom Jenkins (who is as active or more active than Kap in these matters but still playing).

What the hell are you talking about?

I work in operations and have been in more than a few Amazon facilities and compared to WalMart, Sears, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and any non-healthcare facility, Amazon’s were better to be in. Basic things like fatigue mats, break rooms, training rooms and safety precautions were better in the Amazon facilities,…

Strange things could happen though. If Germany pulls pack then the EU is going to likely have to take austerity measures. Italy could leave as might others who are taking a harder right turn. If a few countries opt to leave then the UK may be better off outside the EU in the short-term from a currency perspective at…

This is coming sooner or later but the question domestically is how this will unfold. This could end up expediting a lot of the fundamental liquidity issues that some banks, investment and insurance houses will have. If their shares really drop off then I won’t be surprised if coming out of the next recession, a…
