There are many experiments (mostly Conducted in the 1960s when it was okay to psychologically torture subjects) that indicate we’d likely be operating the ovens in those scenarios. It’s not determinism. It’s psychology. Some will rebel but most of us won’t. And my point is that you and I are...

Green is a virtual firm so they have no offices for you to spend time at.

I think it ended more trading careers than it made. Most of Wall Street was short it and most pensioners were long it.

I think the 70 cents includes missed promotions etc. In my company the women tend to be better employees than the men. They have to be that much tougher to survive in manufacturing.
