But chances are pretty good that if all 10 of those entrepreneurs dust themselves off and keep learning about what customers want (with a great team), all 10 of them will start something amazing
Nice fairytale, too bad real life doesn't work that way. Most of them will kiss the first corporate ass they can wrap their lips around. Usually somewhere their "buddy" can get them a job with benefits. Several will spiral into unemployement and eventual "retirement" or "disability". One or two will eventually succeed.
And that is where Obama was looking for savings. Unfortunately the Senate and House handed him a bag of shit that he has to smile and hold up. Kudos to him for trying to make changes and actually changing things. I think it will get us there eventually.
PPACA is what happens when a good idea gets derailed by partisan holdouts. We will be back to the drawing board with single payer healthcare now that people see what a disaster this frankensystem is going to be. Healthcare needs to be sundered from employers for anything meaningful to happen.
It starts with badges, in afew years they will glue a tiny device to the base of their skull, in back where the children can not gnaw it free. It will be designed to slough off and be replaced periodically. Then implantable devices start to show up to relieve you of the onerous reattachment procedure...
My last company included sick, vacation, and HOLIDAYS in your pto balance. It was a decent amount, not stingy, but it was still a pain to track things and make sure you had enough PTO for your xmas holiday or 4th of July. To be fair they used a bi-weekly accrual method and they appeared to let you borrow from your future accruals for holidays.
Now I work for a small city and get sick and vacation rolled together, again a decent amount that is not stingy nor too generous. They count holidays separately and although the total time off is the same it feels so much nicer not to have to worry about holidays. 37.5 hour workdays are nice too.
The divorce rate for first marriages is around 30%, it has been declining steadily. The divorce rate for 2nd, 3rd, and subsequent marriages is higher up around 60%. This tells us two things:
One: marriage is not something you get better at with more practice.
Two: It's mostly the same people getting divorced. (and they are loud)
Choose wisely and marriage is the best thing you will ever do. You will be happier over your lifetime.
Your comment is outragous. If you breastfeed and avoid or get free childcare you will still be out of pocket around $5k in expenses every year, bare minimum. So you might break even if you are extremely frugal.
I didn't say dissolution of the euro was likely, just more likely then a US debt default. Short of a revolution, a US debt default is almost impossible.
For every organization that hires copetent IT people at a fair wage, there are 2 that try to scrape the bottom of the barrel by paying an insulting wage and 2 that are clueless and have a nephew or the old secretary running IT. This applies inside healthcare and out. Hospitals usually hire good people in my experience.
Default for oil is not what makes the Dollar strong. Ability to manage your fiscal policy is what makes the dollar strong, the euro doesn't have that and won't for the foreseeable future.
The dissolution of the euro is more likely then the default of US debt.
I am in the US, you previously indicated you are not. The only currency that looked like it could possible challenge the Dollar, was the Euro, and they need to do some house cleaning before that happens.
It's a complicated long term plan that involves periodic bursts of activity such as debating and voting. In the short term I back civil disobedience and I firmly believe that it will eventually result in decriminalization.
Look at the drug war. Sure, there are casualties, but most of them got greedy, so don't get greedy.
I think the US ignores mental issues because of our health care system. All the people I have heard in the news talking about the problems they or their loved one have had getting care, are really asking for a single payer system.

So your saying it's gold speculation, not oil speculation.
waiting for that bubble to pop...

Not everyone can be an MBA and run the family business (into the ground).

It sounds like these can be read from a distance of several meters. I doubt the kids are being asked to tap them on a reader when they enter the room.

Helps morale and improves the company culture at the same time!
It pisses me off when people demand doc notes. How is a doctor going to help me with a cough I don't want to spread or a 24 hour stomach bug.
In the US, it also costs me around $20 out of pocket with good insurance. Otherwise it might be $100, just to get a note.

Personal laptop does not preclude an encrypted volume. You may not want whole disk encryption, but data should be encrypted.
//Yes, I know encrypted volumes are not fully secure if someone wants to sniff page files or comb through temp files.

and I disagree on the debt default, we print our own money over here and people are still buying.
No, I am catching up on my slashdot and replying to things I find interesting. Looking for a stimulating debate.
I think the US ignores mental issues because of our health care system. All the people I have heard in the news talking about the problems they or their loved one have had getting care, are really asking for a single payer system.
You would prefer unreasonably?
