Is that right? Buying stock is now risk free, a return is guaranteed?

Good grief is exactly right: according to ExecVP Alex Gourlay "This is really a matter of getting the stores in the right places". Excuse me, but is that not part of the due diligence they supposedly did before opening the stores they're now closing? "Underperforming stores"? That's...

Interesting: the Advanced Practice Nurse who did most of my exam is not listed on the OOIDA list.....I'd have liked to give some feedback, like: is it relevant [or even appropriate] to write in "Examiner's Comments" things like 'cerumen in ear canal'? Earwax is not an abnormal finding, in...

IOW, treat the symptoms [spending "too much"] and ignore the causes. I don't think that's a very good way to handle any problem. Addressing the cause would help prevent it from becoming a problem again, which is what unsolved problems usually do. Whether a business gets money is relevant in...

Deflecting? I listed the reasons there are people who can't work, volunteer, or get educated, and that just blew right through without a response. Should they be left to go hungry? The public assistance programs have been cut and pared and reformed and trimmed many times over the past decade...

Oh, I dunno, maybe because they have a financial "relationship" with the sleep testing clinic? Or maybe just a CYA precaution, because what Congress told the FMCSA is not part of their knowledge base, but they recall reading that apnea is a huge issue for truck drivers. The long form I got has...

We're not even talking about 'welfare', we're talking about food stamps. Welfare is a complex problem, with no easy answers. It's been reformed long since the days when it was a way of life for generations, something that just kind of crept up on society while we were all busy doing our own...

Kids should be taught to respect people like the judge who presided over the trial, and was overheard by his stenographer saying "We're gonna fry this :censoredsign:.", eh? [A remark she didn't mention till well past her retirement, of course.] There is evidence to indicate that Mumia wasn't guilty to...

More garbage assumptions:he is being 'subsidized' by our 80 year old mother, who can't bring herself to throw him out on the streets to starve - but the 'Christians' would, huh? And the answer is no, he has no phone. He has nothing but what he can beg from Mom, who doesn't like his drinking -...

Government is supposed to be "of, by and for the people", not for corporate profits. If they move their profits and jobs out of the country, they should be treated as foreigners, not enjoying the benefits that taxes support. Let them see how they like having to deal with the corruption and...

This is not a "major victory for welfare reform", it's a major victory for kneejerk assumptions carried over from decades ago. The requirements to work, or go to some kind of training, or do volunteer work [that can be verified] sounds easy enough, until you understand that many of those...

Let me guess: your mobile device translated your words into Android? :p Ok, I agree: Erdely is guilty of a huge error in judgment. Given the circs, though, [a supposed rape victim] I can see her reluctance to push for more detail, [like the actual names of those involved, which "Jackie" claimed...

Last week was the first time I had to choose a doc from the registry, and it was an eye opener [literally, lol]. I picked one in Louisville that was away from downtown, where most are concentrated, because I was in the truck. Probably better done when home, with access to a 4 wheeler, if...

Oh, but there most certainly is a point: pretending to have knowledge one cannot possibly have is even worse than ignorance. And that's pretty much the response I expected: belittling whomever calls it BS because: defenseless.

Ezra Klein is a liberal, but is neither a rookie nor a hack, and has several prestigious awards to prove it, and the respect of many very intelligent and knowledgeable people also. The refusal [or inability] to find any redeeming features in anyone whose political ideologies conflict with...

Please tell us: what do they teach? And how do you know about it?

I didn't read the original RS story, but I've read quite a bit about the aftermath, and not one single person or organization with firsthand knowledge has said that Erdely fabricated a single word of her story, as you allege. The suggestion that Erdely is like Jayson Blair is indicative of a...

I was countering your assertion that no one cares for much more than dollars. In many occupations, that's true: banking, investing, plastic surgery, to name a few. But many occupations, including investigative journalism, attract people who are dedicated to their work, believing that it can make...

I think the Supremes screwed up big time, on this one. If religious beliefs entitle exemption from laws that everyone else must obey, the 'beliefs' are going to become more numerous - and not just from Christians, either. Interesting note: I read somewhere [and no one has refuted it, to my...
