on: Statement from Jerome Powell
Conservatives all over have 1 disease. They are incapable of abstract empathy. Until it personally happens to them, or someone very very close to them, they are incapable of noticing injustices or hurts.

big business will always act in the interest of big business.
Only a stupid business man will confront the full-might of the executive branch of the federal government heads on, particularly when the President is showing that he is willing to use that power against anybody

same usually, i read this and see this some flawed or hackneyed tripe.
But these ones are actually true and anyone who has had a long career and led people and product will resonate with many of them.

we are human being interacting with other human beings. what you call "kissing ass" is just learning to influence and work with other humans. It is by far the most useful skill to have in workplace. But don't worry. continue your disdain of it, includeing calling it negative names, and watch your career stagnate.

on: Nike's Crisis and the Economics of Brand Decay
those are trends. prior to that, it was nike airforces.
A business like Nike can't build their business solely on trends. Trends are cyclical, they can bring you massive windfalls, or bankrupt you.
Nike was a sports shoe company that forgot it was a sports company and started acting like it was a pure consumer goods company, leaving itself at the whims of fashion trends.

turned 40, switched to Brooks and my feet thank me everyday for it. I only wear 1 black brooks adrenaline GTS.
Rain, sunshine, snow, indoor, outdoor, running, it doesn't matter. Work, shopping, meeting, travel, church. 1 shoe. My achilles no longer hurt, bye bye shin splints, bye bye back pain.

Correct. Most americans view those targetted strikes as just continuation of the broader wars against terrorism (AQ, AQ++, ISIS affiliates)

- against ISIL, againg al-Qaeda

Afghanistan was more justifiable. The argument was that it was a failed government that housed a terrorist organization that just attacked US.
What Iraq had to with it, i honestly have no idea. Somehow we pivotted from Afghanistan to Iraq

on: Secret Documents Show Pepsi and Walmart Colluded to Raise Food Prices
Exactly pricing discrimination (i.e. selling at different prices to different customers) is absolutely legal and is market efficient in a market with multiple sellers and multiple buyers.
Pricing discrimination combined with monopsony(single large buyer) or monopoly ( single large seller) powers is not market efficient. It leads to higher prices by end consumers. Price discrimination via collusion + Walmarts monopsony in grocery industry violates that 1930s act and is illegal

on: 30 Days, 9 Cities, 1 Question: Where Did American Prosperity Go?
That’s exactly and inherently what capitalism is. Rate of return on capital is higher than rate of return on labor. The people with capital continue to pull ahead. And in America, we now decided to compound this by not taxing and undertaking capital. Which then allows those with capital to transfer some of their capital to political power that then accrues even more advantage to capital owners

I think he’s rather arguing that no language is perfectly translatable to another. He only uses “untranslatable word” an instance of that claim

on: Canadian military will rely on public servants to boost its ranks by 300k
No sir, everybody does not break laws. Only people who routinely do like Trump thinks everyone else is doing it. That’s why he’s so sure he can find cases against his perceived political enemies only to find out the in thing he can find is the woman bough a second home, which she indicated is a second home, and let her neice stay there.
Only criminals think everyone else is a criminal
