    Senator suggests AIG execs should kill themselves

    Gee, I can only wish AIG shuts down and whatever assets they have left are liquidated and paid to the government. But it won't happen, because AIG & their staff are such vital components of this economy & this nation. No wait, it's because they part of one of the biggest & most lucrative...

    Senator suggests AIG execs should kill themselves

    Look, if you're so happy about this, why don't you go down to AIG HQs and donate your own money to their payroll. FORCE MAJEURE CLAUSE! Google it. There is no contractual obligation to uphold business agreements & contracts, let alone scumbag employment contracts when the sh*t hits the fan...

    Senator suggests AIG execs should kill themselves

    I know this is a fun discussion, but do you have any real knowledge about employment contracts or business contracts in general? AIG is bankrupt. When a company goes BK, force majeure clause kicks in. Without the government funds, AIG had no money to stay in operation, let alone pay...

    19" Hanns G monitor $99 free shipping

    Hanns G are good value monitors, I have the 17" ones for years and resold them recently. However, at $99 for a 19", it's not exactly a bargain, more like standard price. Samsung 19" widescreen for $129 is a better choice.

    Senator suggests AIG execs should kill themselves

    Government has been bought by the international banks, so please place your blame appropriately. They are in overdrive mode. AIG isn't being allowed to fail so that they can funnel aka payout money on their CDS obligations.

    Senator suggests AIG execs should kill themselves

    Once again, I know this is a very tough & complicated concept, but please try to use the brain that god has gifted you with. AIG is BEYOND BANKRUPT. There is no employment contract out there which actually requires the company to pay out under a force majeure situation. That's part of the...

    Is there a "other side" to this AIG bonus fiasco?

    No, it does not work like that. Whatever you want "guaranteed" becomes a salary. You're simply promised a bonus, which may not be to your liking when you get it and would cause you to leave the firm. Lately, the contract implied a range for bonus, but there is no guarantee. Even the...

    Is there a "other side" to this AIG bonus fiasco?

    Why is this a very difficult concept. These firms are inherently BANKRUPT!!! No bank would lend them, there is no bond market for them, these is no fund raising via private investors or stock sales (not enough to keep them afloat). Please use your wonderful logic and please explain...

    AIG $165M outrage a diversion?

    You're assuming too much. Even in mainstream, there were plenty of editorials critisizing Congress pay & subsequent raises.

    AIG $165M outrage a diversion?

    If you think it's so pathetic, feel free to overpay your taxes so that the government can give even more money to AIG. Better yet, pay my taxes, since I want nothing to do with these bailouts.

    What's your point? Electricity in the US is deregulated in many states and is undergoing deregulation in the rest. It is pretty much an oligarchy. If you think water deregulation will be any different, you are very mistaken.

    Issues with Day Traders qualifying for a Mortgage

    Not all co-op boards are sad, miserable souls on a power trip. Condos are a rip-off due to maintenance costs. And you will have to deal with similiar rules. The best decision right now is to lock in a long-term lease at a low price.
