Japan does something better. "Wow, look how smart they are and how dumb short-sighted Americans are."
We copy the idea (because it's a good idea) and you say...
"This is what happens when you manage your supply chain to maximize profit."
Right. So before laws prevented / regulated it you're saying that one person couldn't sell another a person a piece of bread or a cup of coffee?
Free market is not anarchy. Menger, von Mises, Milton Friedman were not anarchists. You're playing the true Scotsman card and it's really tiring to hear this BS.
Drug companies have the compulsion of reputation, the same as other businesses Go to the... shhh... the "DARK WEB," a place where there is no recourse to gov't and what separates one seller from another. Drum roll please..... It's their reputation. And, contrary to your tirade reputation is a business imperative.
The CEO doesn't need to know how to build cars. He needs to have a vision, have excellent managerial skills (which includes delegating authority and being able to recognize talent.) The CEO doesn't need to be an engineer; and he doesn't need to have spent a lifetime in the industry, his skill set is setting (and adjusting) goals, setting (and adjusting) timelines, finding and promoting talent. If you've ever seen someone flail around with timelines and leading a project then you know the value of someone skilled at that position.
I've had some great managers who do not know the difference between a for loop and a variable. I've had other managers who have been in the industry for 30 years, starting out with punch cards and Fortran who were terrible managers.
Here's an example George Steinbrenner didn't know anything about baseball but he was a good CEO of the NY Yankees. (As a Met fan it pains me to say it, but it's true.)
You do realize that Ayn Rand ripped not only socialists and plutocrats but corporatists as well. In fact the corporatists were skewered far more brutally than the socialists. The average socialist to Ayn Rand was a fool who believed in a utopia - the corporatists were blood-sucking parasites who fed on productive businesses by using government sanctions and aid to prosper as opposed to technological innovation or business acumen.
Yes. They agreed to the treaty. Now the next question is - what are their obligations under the treaty and what are the US's obligations.
The obligations are not the same. Those that get a huge advantage will obviously sign.
Here's one example among many:
Article 9: Section 1
Developed country Parties shall provide financial resources to assist
developing country Parties with respect to both mitigation and adaptation in
continuation of their existing obligations under the Convention. http://unfccc.int/files/essent...
Which are the developed countries?
Which are the developing countries?
What financial resources are they obligated to provide?
Now try to find the nitty-gritty details. Now that's a bit*h to find.
Companies love efficiencies. They optimize all the time. Why? It saves them f**king money. Take a look at energy efficiency. It didn't take the EPA to accomplish that. Efficiency has been a driving force since WWII. You would be correct in the period between 1880 and 1940 companies did not focus on energy efficiency but with constraints due to the war efficiencies were required. CFOs saw the increase in the bottom line due to energy efficiency and it has continued since then.
Actually, in this article Hansen said it would occur by 2008.
Article was written in 2001.
"While doing research 12 or 13 years ago, I met Jim Hansen, the scientist who in 1988 predicted the greenhouse effect before Congress. I went over to the window with him and looked out on Broadway in New York City and said, “If what you’re saying about the greenhouse effect is true, is anything going to look different down there in 20 years?” He looked for a while and was quiet and didn’t say anything for a couple seconds. Then he said, “Well, there will be more traffic.” I, of course, didn’t think he heard the question right. Then he explained, “The West Side Highway [which runs along the Hudson River] will be under water. And there will be tape across the windows across the street because of high winds. And the same birds won’t be there. The trees in the median strip will change.” Then he said, “There will be more police cars.” Why? “Well, you know what happens to crime when the heat goes up.”"

Guess now you know why the Kyoto and Paris Treaties are foolish and don't accomplish what environmentalists say they will. Why - because they exclude India and China.
Not saying we ought not continue full speed ahead with carbon free alternatives - only say that the Treaties are worthless regarding the global environmental picture.
Yes. If it's true that there were "unencrypted login pages to back-end databases containing sensitive information" then that would be a concern.
Whatever you think of Trump there is a bureaucracy in place that handles such things. I'm sure they have a bunch of people who do penetration tests. Trump is not the arbiter of this anymore than Obama was or Hillary would have been. I don't think they care about this anymore than they care if their bodyguards use a Glock or a Beretta.
I didn't vote for Trump. So don't take me as a MAGA acolyte.
But - he's not stupid. Listen to his interviews over the last 30 years. He is not stupid. I'm a born and bred NYer and put myself through school working in construction. Trump had a great following among Ironworkers, Laborers (the mason guys), and other union workers.
He made his living listening, delegating authority and responsibility to attorneys, architects, engineers and project managers. He conducted business with many wealthy and powerful people. The deals wouldn't have been made if he was as the media portrays him to be. Why? Because Trump wasn't the only game in town. There are plenty of developers in NYC. If Trump was such a loud-mouthed buffoon he wouldn't have been let in the game in the first place. Let alone have become a major figure.
I was not a Trump supporter. But that doesn't mean he is stupid.
He's having business meetings (with Japan's Prime Minister). Don't you think there would be security? Don't you think that when the President and the Prime Minister is there that there is extra ordinary protection? (Yes I intended to use two words.)
There is no harm in this. It's fake alarm. Do you think that when Obama went on vacation to Hawaii that the Hawaiian hotels had hardened the security to their public network? Really?
No. You're confusing the resort with Trump's residence. Yes, he lives at the Resort. But he has private entrances, private driveways and I'm sure a private network. The public area is not equal to the private area even though they have the same name.
The resort is a golf club, people have weddings and public events there. What was hacked was the public network. It's like saying that they were able to walk into the resort without being stopped and comparing that to walking into Trump's private residence.
The only reason you, and others, are thinking this is because you so hate Trump you can't think clearly.
In case it matters I did not vote for Trump. But that doesn't mean that I fall for this BS.
No. They're access the public network. This is a public space. It's a golf course. Public events are held there. Accessing the public network doesn't mean anything. Why would the public access for golfers be secured?
If a golfer wanted to send confidential information back to his office then he would use a VPN, just like he does in any public space.
Re your scenario - that would only be possible when they are strolling through the public areas - i'm pretty sure the Secret Service of both the US and Japan would be on top of various threats.
Sorry this is a public resort. It's a golf club, public events are held there. And yes. Trump has a private residence there. I'm pretty sure there is more than one network there.
This is analogous to Trump owning the Waldorf Hotel and having a suite there and someone hacking the hotel's public network. Big deal. Again, that's the equivalent of hacking a Starbucks.
You do realize that this a public place right? This is a resort. It has a public network. How is this, in any way, related to Hillary having a private email server?
Really? You would secure a public network? This is like Starbucks or any hotel public access network. It's not meant for secure communications. Anybody going there probably connects via a company supplied and supported VPN anyway.
No dude. I was around at the time. The energy was over health care. And by the way the economy was doing just fine in 1994. We came out of the recession in early 1992 and the economy was humming along. Just checked. GDP was a healthy 4.0.
I hope you're not stupid enough to think that. Hey why don't you look back to the 1994 midterm and tell me why the Democrats lost control of the House for the first time in 50 years.
Oh yeah. HillaryCare.
Keep believing your racist sh!t and see where it gets you,
(Racist because you assume the only reason I, and others like me, are against ObamaCare is because Obama is black.)

Rewatch Milton Friedman videos and see why gov't promises of utopia end up poorly. See Venezuela as one of the latest examples.
