    An Anectode That Speaks Volumes: Dollar Store Puts My Local Hallmark Store Out of Biz

    Do you have any Aldi's in your area? It's basically a 14,000 square foot mini grocery store that sells stuff for about 1/2 of what Kroger's does. They don't have everything a full supermarket does, but they have way more than Walgreen's or convenience stores; things like fresh meat...

    An Anectode That Speaks Volumes: Dollar Store Puts My Local Hallmark Store Out of Biz

    We have a ton of stores about two mile from where I live, although the lots are bigger and density less tight where I live. Mind you, the average household income is relatively high where I live, and I'd say the average house sits on a 1/2 acre to 1 acre lot, and is 3,000 square feet. Many homes...

    Stick a Fork In Microsoft: "Google Unveils a PC Operating System"

    Good luck to Microsoft when sheeple find out they can get Chrome OS for free, that it's easy to use, looks pretty, and doesn't lag or shut down on them. If buying a new PC, they'll realize a savings of at least $50 (and $25 on a netbook) by opting for Chrome OS over Windows 7 or XP...

    Bombshell •China Faces `Unprecedented Difficulties' in Attracting Foreign Investment

    asiaprop, you are probably the most defensive person I've come across on any topic, ever. It's not absolutely the case, but I find that when people are as defensive as you are, typically their emotions have stolen the better part of their logic, in pressing or rebutting facts, figures and...

    L.A. County's Mortgage Default Rate Double Last May's

    All trends emanate from California, from fashion to 'clean' food to automotive designs to economics. It's trendy now to just ignore one's mortgage (actually, it's a combination of massive job losses and less stigma associated with deadbeat-itus that's causing this). That "backlog" of REOs...

    Doctors In Financial Trouble: Many Selling Their Practices & Switching Careers

    To think I was 2 years shy of attending med school, before a tragic family event changed the trajectory of my career path. My buddy's father is an oncologist, is burned out, hates medicine, and went so far as to strongly discourage his son from becoming a physician. It all falls into place...

    High order backlog — German car scrappage program has asymmetric impact

    Once this program ends, vehicle sales will plummet like a leaden balloon. That's the problem with programs like this; they're like heroin. You have to keep feeding the heroin to the addicts otherwise they'll curl up with the DTs and shits and go through withdrawal at home when the heroin...

    Bombshell •China Faces `Unprecedented Difficulties' in Attracting Foreign Investment

    China is a giant bag holder of toxic shit right now (probably lost 80% of the value of foreign and much domestic holdings at the central bank), and they're doing everything in their power to talk up their economy to stave off their consumers retreating into their shells, as they can no longer...

    Totally agreed. It slips through any cracks of regulation. It's amazing the snake oil they peddle, the shit people believe, and what they pay for the crap. I could piss in bottles, batch it up, sell it as 'Urinol,' the most potent electrolyte-urea formula available, and without printing...
