    Walmart to increase work for by 36% in 5 years

    I saw a documentary on walmart where they interviewed this woman who made the sweatpants that they sell at walmart. The woman said she made 17 cents per hour and had been doing that job for years. (entry level workers only get 11 cents per hour!) They brought the woman to the US so she could...

    Gold and silver market (blue horse shoe message)

    So basically if we follow all those rules, that means we need to have at least $110k that we can "afford to lose", then we use half that(50% margin like you said) and we can buy 1 single contract with that $55k (or 65k for gold). I dont know many people that can "afford to lose" $100k. I...

    Obama: Go to college to recession-proof yourself!

    Yeah. I also remember not being able to breathe in the airplanes because everyone was smoking! I was a kid at the time, but I remember falling asleep and when I woke up my throat hurt like hell from all the 2nd hand smoke. Couldnt crack a window so you were pretty much forced to breathe...

    Obama: Go to college to recession-proof yourself!

    I dont know what is wrong with people that go out in public in their pajamas. I've seen women doing this also in grocery stores quite often. Its amazing how much our society has devolved since the 1950s. For all those people that wear pajamas to school I have a news flash for you. If you...

    Despite shitty economy, unemployed Americans refuse to take farm jobs

    Is that offer for anyone? If so, is it total % return on the account for 1 year or is it based on the amount of money made. (hard to compete if you have a $100 million account and made a 2% return)

    I take back my earlier post about Obama getting a clue. He is an idiot.

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100927/ap_on_bi_ge/us_obama Obama wants longer school years now. Just when I thought he was starting to show signs of intelligence and not be a complete idiot, he opens his mouth and removes all doubt that he is one. Does he really think kids are not passing...

    I need a vacation!

    Traveling alone is always better than traveling with friends. When you are alone you force yourself to meet new people where as if you are with friends you are not really bothered about meeting anyone new. Also traveling alone you are not forced to go see some lame show that you dont want to...

    Despite shitty economy, unemployed Americans refuse to take farm jobs

    In California unemployment pays $450 per week. If you break that down hourly over 40 hours, it comes to $11.25 per hour. So what sounds better...$10 bucks per hour to be out in 90 degree heat doing manual labor or $11.25 per hour sitting at your air conditioned home watching Oprah, football...

    Insecure about spending money

    I am afraid to spend because I want to make sure I have enough money for when I am old. If I was only worried about the government taking it, then I would spend it all now and fast before they could get their hands on it.

    Man gets punched in face for exercising 1st amendment right.

    Not even the same thing. In a theater you are paying to see a product and bring in a camera is an attempt to use or distibute that product at a later period of time. Filming a public official speaking about public matters does not even come close to being in the same catagory as filming a...
