ParticipantInteresting question: if people are no longer tied to a job to get health insurance, will this encourage more people who are unhappy with their jobs to drop out of the labor market, thus opening these jobs to people who need them more?
Some Conservatives are saying that “Obamacare discourages work” as if it were a bad thing, when in reality, it may be a balancing factor for the labor market.

ParticipantI wonder if you could generate enough power to light Palo Alto at night from Jobsie-Wobsie spinning in his grave. Perhaps I should patent the process.

ParticipantHow about buying “RGR” and “SWHC” stock on dips?

ParticipantYou’re still c@rping about this? Did you finish your taxes, or waste all your time till the deadline b1tching about BoA online? 😀

ParticipantAnything is negotiable — you could tell them to put it on Amex and that you’ll pay the additional spread. Might still be relatively cheap for a doubled warranty.

ParticipantThis went way beyond “harassment” — the groping was basically assault.

ParticipantI admire his self-control — the scene may have ended with me in county jail and the VP with a sudden and acute nosebleed.

ParticipantYou have the numbers. Fact-check them using the formulas we’ve mentioned, if they make sense, send them in. It’s a 99 to 100 chance they’re correct if the math works. Stop obsessing over stupid shite.

ParticipantA lump of coal and a dirty stocking? Oh wait, wrong occasion 🙂

ParticipantThat’s nothing new. Growing up in NJ, we had to buy soccer cleats/baseball gloves/lacrosse sticks/protective equipment. I think parents also had to sign liability releases, but it was viewed as more of a formality.
I think we also were penalized if we didn’t return school-owned books in good shape at the end of the year, but the difference was that the books weren’t our property to start with.

ParticipantWait, so students get credit for giving the teacher something which their parents PAID for?(!) Wouldn’t that result in wealthier students getting higher grades — poorer students might borrow the book or want to re-sell it after they’re done. Sounds pretty discriminatory and bizarre.

ParticipantI think they offered some salads as well, but most people would come back with one of the numbered burger ‘n fries combos and a soda. (Can’t say that I was totally innocent of this either.)
It was really a shame since there were a few good/cheap vegetarian Indian places down the road, but the crowd was sufficiently boring as to be grossed out by the prospect of Indian food.

ParticipantYet when I worked for a company at an office complex in suburban NJ after college, the closest restaurant was Wendy’s. There were others a few traffic lights away on the highway, but people typically grabbed lunch from the closest place.

ParticipantRight, IRS won’t lock you up if there’s a $20 difference. Worse comes to worse, they’ll send you a bill for the difference.
