    Even with inflation in 1970. It only took 1 worker

    The bullcrap is complaining about how much someone with more education, experience, motivation and commitment than the average worker makes. CEOs don't work 40 hour weeks. They also generally have more education. The average worker includes 30 year olds while the average CEO is older. The...

    Excel

    Hahaha. Is that what you interpreted from my post? Sorry. The point I meant to get across is that once you are use to the new version (however long it takes you) and are able to fully compare the version side by side as far as functionality, hotkeys, macro management, customizing, etc...

    Excel

    Just to let you see some light at the end of the tunnel. I started at a new firm last May, and they used 07 exclusively. I had never used it before and was lost for a long time hitting my head against the wall. However, it took less then 2 months to completely fall in love with the new...

    Official Depression - Starbucks To Sell Their Corporate Jet

    Again I'm not saying its right. I don't see the books to see if its cost effective. Taking a commercial flight can easily add up to 3 hours for the round trip with security.

    Official Depression - Starbucks To Sell Their Corporate Jet

    Starbucks actually pays farmers pretty good prices for the coffee they bring over. You may not like corporate jets but they serve a good purpose. Just this week my boss and I were supposed to fly to go visit a site but the weather was bad and we had to drive. The day was a waste as far as...

    Secretly recorded Bank of America call - bailout recipients hatch plan to stop unions

    If you are only going to say one thing and generalize everything... Unions are bad and kill off companies but unions can help tip the scales back on greedy management and back in the day, they protected workers who couldn't go anywhere else. If you don't like being the "help" and don't...

    Barron's made a hell of a call on BRKA in Dec 2007

    I don't know who is laughing now. Only time will tell but I know I am laughing at the headline Berkshire Hathaway looks overpriced, even after factoring in the legendary talents of its CEO. For better value, consider AIG and Wells Fargo.

    And I would need proof that its Obama in the video. I would need him to hold up two forms of government ID while having his grandmother confirm it is him

    Important Notice Regarding Your Changes To Your Account

    Nothing personal, but you don't understand the problem. In your response you said that both sides agree to the terms but that is not an accurate statement. If it was accurate, then the borrow would realize the lender is not changing any rules during "the middle of the game". In the contract that...

    The second 350B in TARP has been blocked

    Again I'm not trying to fight. I just think its important Americans know why certain things happened. LEH was an investment bank which is much different from commercial banks such as BAC which has an investment banking division. This is one reason why the pure play investment banks are/have...

    The second 350B in TARP has been blocked

    I'm not trying to personally attack you....but Last you heard is wrong. BAC overpaying for ML can only be determined 5 years from now. You also heard wrong about 1.9 million in renovations for the ML CEO... it was 1.2 Million and it was before any TARP was ever even discussed...The monies for...

    Important Notice Regarding Your Changes To Your Account

    Yes I agree. My credit union is part of the CU24 network where you can use every credit union's ATM for free. Every Mcdonald's ATM is on this network which means they are free also. If you don't live/play/work/hang out near a Mcdonald's at any point in your day.....well you have bigger...

    Important Notice Regarding Your Changes To Your Account

    I have no idea about what the "majority" of banks do. I can only give you first hand information of what a bank I worked at did. My bank was a regional bank in the southern United States. I never did credit card applications, only commercial loans (Lines of credit, letters of credit, fixed...

    The second 350B in TARP has been blocked

    That is my point. Many people don't know how banks work. When banks make bad loans they never go out of business. They just get acquired by another bank that is healthier. Thats what people don't realize, they think banks go out of business like your mechanic down the street. They don't...
