Hiring & Firing Brad Szollose's Official Blog @Work American Rights at Work BloggingStocks company offshoring jobs – Google News The Curious Capitalist Annual ReportsWhy don’t you ask this lady what she thinks of another country having access to her private data? Strange things can happen when you call tech support. But perhaps not quite as strange as what allegedly happened to Tara Fitzgerald. According to News10 in Sacramento, Calif., Fitzgerald wanted to send some pictures of herself to [...]
Keep that in your mind when you’re voting in California, or any other state. By the way, when you’re reading this article, I want you to pay attention to the comments about 30 years, because I distinctly remember when I was in the Navy between 76 to 82 and reading on the teletypes on the [...]
By Mitch Gurney July 30, 2010 As anyone who has read my articles posted here knows I’m not a big fan of either party. Here in California we have two heavy weights running for election. One is the former CEO of eBay from 1998 – 2008, Meg Whitman, a Republican running for Governor with plenty [...]
Concerning all those government organizations and private companies working on counterterrorism projects that the Post report refers to, Skousen writes, “Once again, the series tells us nothing about the substance of what they do, much of which is unsavory and illegal.” Skousen goes on to say, “What [the Post report] won’t tell you is that [...]
With the US bankrupting itself in wars, America’s largest creditor, China, has taken issue with America’s credit rating. The head of China’s largest credit rating agency declared: “The US is insolvent and faces bankruptcy as a pure debtor nation.” On July 12, Niall Ferguson, an historian of empire, warned that the American empire could collapse [...]
What will all of your assets do for your future and your childrens future if this comes true? I know you think it won’t happen, but millions of us never thought the giant corporations would put the people that for generations made their growth possible, out of work! Think about it! The Year America Dissolved [...]
BP is starting over. It just named a new American president and its finances are looking up. BP’s second-quarter report showed surprisingly strong revenues of $75.9 billion, beating Wall Street’s estimates. (This includes a $32.2 billion writedown along with the $20 billion liability fund that the Obama Administration wanted.) The company has started to sell [...]
I was just barely old enough to join the navy on 13 Oct 1976 and I believe the Vietnam war was over by then. As a child growing up in the country, TV was a luxury during that time frame and living way out in the country surrounded by the hills, we didn’t get more [...]
And this is how they pay you back? Second-quarter earnings reports are coming in, and they’re making Wall Street smile. Corporate profits are up. And big American companies are sitting on a gigantic pile of money. The 500 largest non-financial firms held almost a trillion dollars in the second quarter, and that money pile is [...]
Economics in Freefall By Paul Craig Roberts I admire Joseph E. Stiglitz, because he has a social conscience and a sense of justice, the absence of which turns economists into monsters. Despite his virtues and Nobel Prize, Stiglitz sometimes falls down as an economist. Readers of my new book, How The Economy Was Lost, will be [...]
But are we comparing Apples to Apples? I’ll put myself up against your geniuses and I never even graduated high school when it comes to solving actual business problems, not your garden variety tests that don’t make a dollar or two! A China-based outsourcing company called Bleum requires that all job applicants for computer science [...]
Second-quarter earnings reports are coming in, and they’re making Wall Street smile. Corporate profits are up. And big American companies are sitting on a gigantic pile of money. The 500 largest non-financial firms held almost a trillion dollars in the second quarter, and that money pile is growing larger this quarter. Profits that plummeted in [...]
The SEC alleges that Dell did not disclose to investors large exclusivity payments the company received from Intel Corporation to not use central processing units (CPUs) manufactured by Intel’s main rival. It was these payments rather than the company’s management and operations that allowed Dell to meet its earnings targets. After Intel cut these payments, [...]
Virgil, this latest post of yours disturbed me deeply. I hope you don’t believe it yourself, because upon examination it is all a crock, and the name Accuracy-IT obviously has nothing to do with accuracy and everything to do with the Democrat agenda. Let’s take a look at some of the presumptions, and how facts [...]
We’re not in a double-dip recession yet. We’re in a one and a half dip recession. Consumer confidence is down. Retail sales are down. Home sales are down. Permits for single-family starts are down. The average work week is down. The only things not down are inventories – unsold stuff is piling up in warehouses [...]
Corporate Takeover Of America By Accuracy_IT This may not come across in the correct format as it was cut and pasted. If not, you can read the original by clicking here GOALS: I. Increase profits by decreasing expenses. II. Bring government on the side of business. III. Reduce/eliminate employee and consumer impediments (regulations). IV. Move [...]
I’m trying to get caught up on some things tonight and out of habit, I always leave CNBC on, even though I don’t pay much attention to it when the market closes. But in tonight’s segment on American Greed, they are talking about a person that is selling the body parts and telling the people [...]
For years now, since 2003 I have been watching more and more of our jobs go offshore and I’ve been watching our politicians play “Screw the people, I have to worry about my ties with big business” with the lives of the people that they swore to represent. All the while that the people are [...]
Corporations, Lobbyist and their political toadies By Mitch Gurney July 18, 2010 Before proceeding with this posting I would like to give credit where credit is due. I didn’t coin the phrase “political toadies” but borrowed it from a two part commentary written by Charles Hugh Smith posted on his blog oftwoMinds.com. The two part [...]
Roberts:That’s right; we can’t have an economy without jobs. Keiser:Now why is it so difficult, because even the word “jobs” in America has become a dirty word. People seem to think that only poor people have jobs, as a matter of fact if you have tried to get a job in America today, if you [...]
I’ve been wondering for some time now when this would happen. Yet the executives of some of our very large corporations continue to slap each other on the back not realizing that a million jobs here and a million jobs there adds up really fast. Do you reckon they will ever look themselves in the [...]
Political Toadies, worthless promises, and the reality of Smoke & Mirrors By Mitch Gurney July 16, 2010 Our political process is extremely polarized and becomes even more so during campaign seasons. And there is little substance to all the rhetoric and promises these politicians make to placate a clueless electorate. Now, while in the mist [...]
Thursday the President pronounced that “because of this [financial reform] bill the American people will never again be asked to foot the bill for Wall Street’s mistakes.” As if to prove him wrong, Goldman Sachs simultaneously announced it had struck a deal with federal prosecutors to pay $550 million to settle federal claims it misled [...]
1 Missing from almost all discussion of America’s dizzying rate of unemployment is the brute fact that hourly wages of people with [...]
President Obama has vowed to double U.S. exports within the next five years. That’s because exports are critical for rebooting the American economy. It’s clear American consumers can’t get the economy going on their own. They can’t restart the jobs machine. They’ve run out of money and credit. It’s not just that one out of [...]
