  1. Re:The days of high taxes on corps are numbered on After Brexit, More Than 100 Firms May Move To Ireland (mirror.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    The good news is that we have checks and balances.

    For every dumb-ass politician, there's another dumb-ass politician.

    Congress is not elected by the American population at large.

    No, Congress is elected by self-interest districts from the states.

    What Trump and his administration wants to do matters very little.

    Each Congressperson will be going home to their district to discover what actions will get them reelected.

    Trump be damned.

    For reference, see what Congress did to Obama.

    There's no need for predictions.

    Those either come to pass or they don't, and no action based on speculation is logical.

    Let's wait until someone in the Trump administration actually DOES something.

    Recall that Obama didn't get much done at all.

    Oh, he got his name on some stuff and some stuff happened on his watch, but for the most part he just offered condolences after the shooting of the week.

    Like Obama, Trump will be tamped down by law and Congress.

    As you know, Congressional members answer to their districts -- not the White House.

    Most people don't vote, anyway.

    How about we work on that problem and forget about adding more non-voters to the pool?

  9. Suggested changes to the business model ... on Are Airlines Intentionally Overbooking Their Flights? (popularmechanics.com) · · Score: 1

    ... by amateurs reminds me of a true story:

    I moved from the oil patch (layoff) to the legal field and one of my first recommendations to management was, "Hey! Let's stop doing all this copying crap that requires skill of a 13-year old and print to PDF and email attachments to clients!"

    Fuck.

    Those lawyers made 3 cents per page of copy.

    I would learn all about "time and expense" billing.

    So, some of the suggestions offering a better business model for the airlines in these comments show a lack of understanding similar to mine.

    The United States is in a mood to peg the meter all the way to the right.

    It's something that has to be done.
