So essentially all CEOs are Carson Palmer and Jay Cutler.

This is code for we plan on selling you pools and toddlers as day one DLC for $15 each.

It will come in a DLC or expansion pack. I think that's pretty obvious considering the state of EA lately, plus how the previous Sims games have been

That roughly translates to "We're making sure that the game supports the 47 expansion packs that we'll be releasing."

I honestly didn't feel that way at all, but keep in mind I grew up with the NES, so my opinion of what makes a game "tough" is colored by endless childhood afternoons playing Faxanadu and Battletoads.

"There are so few that can do the job" Right - only a few people can run corporations. So tomorrow if I became Wal-Mart CEO the company would be bankrupt within a year because I clearly do not posses any of the skills necessary to make strategic decisions. It would be like me trying to build a nuclear bomb armed only

How about because we have historical evidence that businesses will abuse every inch of freedom they're given? This is part of the weird brain malfunction that makes me wonder about Libertarians. Your platform is basically "Businesses abuse regulations and twist laws to favor themselves, so lets remove the

Is $40 more than their labor was worth? I mean, in this economy where the privileged class has worked to suppress wages, one can believe that it is a low wage, but maybe not.

I want to see Running Man type consequences for poor CEO performance, then you can pay em all the dollars.

exactly. All the free market espousing "CEOs as rare talent" bs can't get past the fact that even awful CEOs stick around forver. The job is not the product of market conditions at all.

They also have more realistic pay for their executives. It really only the US where CEO's make HUNDREDS of times as much as regular employees.

I might be more accepting of outrageous executive pay if the notion upon which it was based - outrageous amounts of authority and responsibility - was actually upheld. But when you pay an executive 300 million a year and she/he demonstrates incompetence and/or shady decision-making and ethics on a chronic basis with

Well, it's a wage control (or, more pedantically, salary control). But at any rate, you're right that wage-price controls have been implemented in the past to combat inflation, usually without much effect. James isn't advocating for sub-market rates to control inflation, though; he's saying that the mechanism for

"4 shocking warnings, Japanese teens don't put these in your butts", or "Anal videogames, insane new trend in Japan", or if you want to go Buzzfeed style "QUIZ: Which kind of crazy Japanese anal sextoy are you?"

"There's a threat to our freedom
in the world today;
And it's reaching every corner of the USA.
It's a sinister plot
By them Nippon-ese
And they'll try to make it softer with an American 'please'...

In the land of rollin' waves of grain
There's a-plenty of things
That we need over-explained
But we got every

"Don't Put Digimon Stuff in Your Butt, Please" This sounds like words from a country ballad. This really should be made into a song! Any takers?

InverseUltimate, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to insult the author of this article. I know what it means to free up the requisite time needed to attack people in a faceless manner such as this and I too wish I could gather up the resolve and ire needed to conduct myself in such a manner.

It's people like you who are the real heroes. Taking time out of your day to add your opinion and partial critique to the things that truly don't matter to you, or matter that much on the grand scale.

Wild Arms did something like this too (though naturally, it came long afterwords.)
