Jobs On Track For June Return
nandemoari writes "On Tuesday, Apple shareholders gathered at Apple's Cupertino corporate campus continued their pursuit of details regarding Apple chief Steve Jobs' health. They didn't get a whole heck of a lot of information out of Apple's executives, but they did receive some encouraging news on Jobs' status.
Timothy Cook, Apple's chief operating officer, assured shareholders that Jobs still planned to return to the company in June.
Jobs obviously wasn't present at the meeting, which might have made it rather uncomfortable when several stockholders stood to sing 'Happy Birthday.' Jobs' 54th passed on Tuesday."
Seriously,
We need jobs to return in June, not Jobs.

No. At the mean income level, the average family will get about $70/month more, but for people surviving and raising families on $1500 a month, and many do, that equates to about a 7% pay rise. Just because you're rolling your eyes at the fact that the couples making $250K a year (which includes my family, just), will be paying approximately 0.75% more tax. Oh no! Our after tax income will change from $13,400 a month to $13,000! However will we cope?!?
I know. Us horrible people, suffering the burden of this. You'd almost think that if it wasn't for things like people buying multiple investment properties, trying to 'flip' properties after 12 months, putting $100k in, and expecting a $400k profit, and pushing the prices of housing sky high, and so forth, we'd not be in a financial crisis...
