I like Obama a lot but he had a majority in the House and Senate his first 2 years and could have done things like closed GITMO or raised taxes on the top 1% to a sufficient level. Also, I think the consensus is that Dodd-Frank is pretty toothless and it could have been a lot better.

This might not be a big deal, but your take is objectively wrong.

Just an fyi, so you can make more convincing counter-arguments in the future, you might want to check what stats you’re contesting before you condescend:

No it doesn’t. Look at the section on how they calculate health care costs here, it is calculated based on estimated expenses, including health care plan premiums.

ZRI’s average rent of $2458 for all of Boston is actually the median and not the mean.

For those who are going to bitch about the endowment and “how it works”, the endowment is there to provide income for ongoing operations of the University, and a large chunk of that is for ‘general support’. On the other hand, there’s unrestricted net income. Per Harvard’s annual financial reports, Unrestricted Net…

I just don’t understand the complaint. Don’t click on what you don’t care about. Let’s not pretend that gawker media as a whole didn’t have a political identity. These articles were going to land somewhere. I expected it to go to jezebel, but it came here. I’m not sure why it matters.

If this sort of conversation bothers you, you should probably stick to the yahoo.com comments section.

Harvard considers 35 hours full time and its workers are paid biweekly. $22/hr at 35 hours is $770 a week, which means the average pre-tax, pre-deductions biweekly pay of a HUDS worker is $1540. Based on the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Boston, HUDS workers are probably paying upwards of 50% of their…

See, I’m sure it’s informative, but then I’d have to listen to Malcolm fucking Gladwell.

I’ve heard that removing your airbag, and then driving drunk at approximately 120 mph is a good idea. Look for that article next Wednesday.

This is a bunch of blatantly unsafe horseshit. Shame on Jalopnik for even floating the idea to your readers that this should EVER be done.

These guys are obsessed with “succeeding by failing” and all the other B-school horseshit. Plus, being egomaniac Rand fanboys, they all want to be able to claim as much credit as possible without having anyone point to work upon which they’d built, so they’d rather blow up what’s in place. (I can just hear some…

You want Oklahoma City to have TWO teams?

I think the main hit for the Silicon Valley owners is that they are steeped in the idea of new innovation, so they keep trying to implement the “new thing” without working on the norm first, hence why these issues pop up. In this scenario, it sounds like Ranadives had a pretty solid front office, but automatically…

They’re trying to figure out if you’re still awake.

Because “You still here?” is totally frowned upon?
