Crashing markets increase the odds of a Trump presidency Post Date: 2015-08-25 14:54:41 by tpaine

nypost.com Crashing markets increase the odds of a Trump presidency Photo: Reuters Crashing markets and floundering economies amplify voter anxiety just like they did in 2008, when they helped propel into the White House a one-term US senator and community organizer. So, is it really so crazy to think that voters might elect as president in 2016 a real estate developer with little policy experience but lots of experience in land speculation, building casinos and reality TV? After months of believing Donald Trump was a flash in the pan, Im willing to concede that The Donald could become the GOP nominee and possibly the next president of the United States. ...
When Rules Multiply, the World Needs Rule Breakers Post Date: 2015-08-19 09:07:38 by Deckard

Humans need rules. Rules make life more predictable. But when the rules multiply, the world needs some rule-breakers.The creator of the underground website Silk Road, Ross Ulbricht, was sentenced to life in prison for creating an online space that allowed people to use bitcoins to buy and sell things. Some used Silk Road (named after Marco Polo's trading route from China) to sell illegal drugs. People do that anyway, even without Silk Road; since the site's closing, numerous similar websites have taken its place. The prosecution implied (but never really argued) that Ulbricht planned murders. That would certainly be breaking a basic rule of civilization, but Ulbricht claims that ...
GM may import a Buick built in China (Envision - Shanghai) Post Date: 2015-08-18 22:16:52 by Hondo68
12 Comments
General Motors may be the first U.S. automaker to build a car in China and sell it in the U.S. market. IHS Automotive says its analysis leads it to believe GM is planning to start shipping a small SUV, the Buick Envision, back to the U.S. by next year. The car is built in Shanghai for the China market. GM builds and sells more cars in China than in the U.S. The Buick brand is very popular in China, far more so than in the U.S. GM would neither confirm nor deny plans to export the Envision to the U.S. "It is all speculation at this point," said Buick spokesman Nick Richards. "To this point we haven't disclosed any plans for it outside of China." There is only ...
California: $15 Minimum Wage, $30 Per Pizza, Massive Fail Post Date: 2015-08-17 19:47:31 by cranky
20 Comments
Small businesses are already struggling to survive the spate of minimum wage increases to $15 per hour in parts of California. Last month, the small Bay Area town of Emeryville, California, (population 10,000) decided to act as flag-bearer for raising the minimum wage in California, hiking its minimum wage to $14.44 per hour. Even though businesses with less than 56 workers are exempt from the $14.44 rate and do not have to raise their wages to $15 until 2018, Vic Gumper, who owns Lanesplitter Pizza, with outlets in Berkeley, Oakland, Albany and Emeryville, decided not only to bite the bullet but swallow it, paying his workers $15 to $25 an hour while eschewing tips or raising prices. He ...
New trolleys can fully recharge in 30 seconds Post Date: 2015-08-13 08:38:30 by Willie Green

Train equipment maker CRRC Corp is introducing a fast-charge trolley bus system that trades traditional overhead cables for an energy model that can fully charge a trolley in 30 seconds while passengers are getting on and off. The company claims that the flash charge supercapacitor is the only one in the world that allows a trolley bus to run for 8 kilometers with 10 seconds of charging. "The technology is especially suited for buses that make frequent stops over short distances, and greatly reduces the pollution from public transportation," said Zhou Qinghe, the president and general manager of CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Co.

Man Uses Drone to Expose One of America's ‘Biggest Secrets’ Post Date: 2015-08-02 15:41:02 by Willie Green

Smithfield Foods has a lot to answer for after a drone just exposed the vile environmental practices happening at one of its pig farms in North Carolina. Recently, filmmaker Mark Devries flew a drone over the hidden farm to see what was happening behind the thick forest cover surrounding it. Next to the warehouses packed with thousands of pigs, the drone spied a massive cess pool the size of four football fields. According to a former local farmer, Don Webb, It is a cess pool that you put feces and urine in a hole in the ground that you dump a toxic waste in. All of the pig waste is collected in the warehouses and flushed into the giant pool large enough to accommodate the ...

CEO Raises Salaries to $70K for EVERY Employee, Now has to Rent Out his Own Home to Make Ends Meet [Full Thread] Post Date: 2015-08-02 10:40:45 by GrandIsland

Back in April we told you about Dan Price, CEO of Gravity Payments, who said he would pay every single one of his employees $70,000 annually. Every single one, from the lowest skilled workers on up. Now, as expected, Price has fallen on hard times financially, even having to rent out his own home. Employees who work for Gravity are now leaving the company, spurred in part by their view that it was unfair to double the pay of some new hires while the longest-serving staff members got small or no raises. This was always going to be the outcome. If everyone hits the jackpot, does anybody really win the lottery? When Dan Price, founder and CEO of the Seattle-based ...

Marijuana opponents using racketeering law to fight industry Post Date: 2015-07-13 19:31:13 by cranky

A federal law crafted to fight the mob is giving marijuana opponents a new strategy in their battle to stop the expanding industry: racketeering lawsuits. A Colorado pot shop recently closed after a Washington-based group opposed to legal marijuana sued not just the pot shop but a laundry list of firms doing business with it from its landlord and accountant to the Iowa bonding company guaranteeing its tax payments. One by one, many of the plaintiffs agreed to stop doing business with Medical Marijuana of the Rockies, until the mountain shop closed its doors and had to sell off its pot at fire-sale prices. With another lawsuit pending in southern Colorado, the cases represent a new ...

Investors tend to respond to impending doom by selling risky stuff and hiding out in safer assets -- namely, bonds in places such as Germany and the U.S. Theres a problem with that formula this time around: Traders arent so sure they can find anything thats truly safe right now.

The daily allowance of cash from many ATM machines has already dropped from 60 to 50, purportedly because 20 notes are running out. Greece is sliding into a full-blown national crisis as the final cash reserves of the banking system evaporate by the hour and swathes of industry start to shut down, precipitating the near disintegration of the ruling coalition. Business leaders have been locked in talks with the Bank of Greece, pleading for the immediate release of emergency liquidity funds (ELA) to cover food imports and pharmaceutical goods before the tourist sector hits a brick wall. Officials say the central bank will release the funds as soon as Friday, but this is a ...

NASCAR again tries to distance itself from Confederate flag Post Date: 2015-06-24 10:30:00 by Willie Green

Confederate flags are as easy to find at NASCAR races as cutoff jeans, cowboy hats and beer. They fly over motorhomes. They adorn clothing. They are regular fixtures, just like Ford and Chevrolet, and that is unlikely to change any time soon. NASCAR probably would like to see them go away. The sanctioning body for the motorsports series backed South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's call to remove the Confederate flag from the Statehouse grounds in the wake of the Charleston church massacre. NASCAR issued its statement Tuesday, the same day South Carolina lawmakers agreed to discuss removing the flag and one day after Haley said "the time has come" to take it down. And that is ...

Walmart said in a statement Monday that it is removing "all items" promoting the Confederate flag for sale from its stores and its website. The move came the same day that Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina called for the removal of a Confederate flag from the state Capitol grounds in Columbia. Her announcement in turn came in the wake of last week's shooting at a historically black Charleston church that left nine dead. Charged in the killing is Dylan Roof, 21, who is white and has been attributed with making white supremacist statements. He has been pictured with images of a Confederate flag.
