That's because you are uninformed and ignorant.
Medical malpractice awards account for less than 1% of medical costs.
Not only that, in many cases, the doctors, hospitals and pharmacy companies truly do deserve to be held financially responsible for serious patient injuries and deaths...
At some point, businesses can't cut anymore employees or costs if they want to keep their doors open.
At that point, they need revenue growth and greater sales. This highly improbably in an economy that continues to shed jobs, sees asset values continue to decline, sees falling wages, and...
So, California's real unemployment rate is probably a minimum of 22%.
Things are playing out very eerily here in accord with the 1930s, with a raging bear market rally in the aftermath of a financial crisis, while unemployment soars and the real economy struggles hugely.

I'm no clairvoyant, but I see a magnificent bubble in looking at China.
The government is constantly jiggering and rejiggering the deck that is their economy.
There are all sorts of disequilibriums that the government is creating.
Unlike our nation, China has a massive surplus of cash...

The United States economy experienced two such bubbles in recent years â one in stocks, the other in real estate â and both helped the rich become richer. Mr. McAfee, whose tattoos and tinted hair suggest an independent streak, is an extreme but telling example. For two decades...

Yes it was. Thanks for posting it.
My biggest problem with the article is that it uses the narrower definition of unemployment that I (and many others) have had a problem with all along, as it systematically under-reports continually unemployed workers.
Also, I've mentioned that we in the...

This is why we know our government is literally lying to us, with malicious intent. We have the proof.
It's no conspiracy theory to claim that the government is telling the American People that unemployment is far lower than it is in reality. It's a fact.

I'm not and have never been the one to engage in hit and run, stock_trad3r-esque, devoid of any substance comments, as you've been more and more prone to lately.
Even if I dislike someone, and they have an opinion widely divergent from mine, I will try to engage in a significant discourse...
It's all the in-between, substanceless, commentary that people tend to remember you by.
You've become the stock_trad3r of the mods, and you probably never even realized it was happening to you.

There's Ivan, always hanging around, wishy washy to his true self, making sarcastic comments, absent of ANY substance, in bearish, bullish or neutral threads.
Hey Ivan, have you ever decided which way the wind was blowing, besides out your ass?
You are always so wishy-washy with your comments. You always leave an out for yourself.
You got caught with your pants down big time when the mighty crash happened, didn't you, and you were probably making the same asinine comments just prior to then as you are now.
