You can head that off by treating workers well. Maybe he's worth 20% more then his co-worker, either way his co-workers will have an opinion, and that means something to most people.
I've worked in multiple places where pay was public knowledge.
These people want to believe that men make more because women negotiate worse, but at the same time, women are negotiating for and accepting more flexibility, less hours, etc. I would posit that women are not in control of these things and they are taking what is given. Women are often not offered what is offered to men, and that is what people would like to change. Pay should be public knowledge.
The world is changing no matter what you do, we have every right to steer that change.
Overpopulation is such a bogus issue. It's a self correcting issue. People have less kids as they get more opportunity. Make no mistake, a proper social safety net will increase opportunity. Few people will just be content to fall into it and lay there.
Sears spun off all it's real estate into some sort of real estate holding vehicle. It will be two years this July, which is probably when we'll start seeing liquidation or bankruptcy. Anything before the two year mark allows the courts to dissolve those arrangements and stockholders could claw back some value.
If they enter Bankruptcy before July 2017, there are look back provisions that would negatively effect some of the stuff that was spun off (to enrich specific investors). I doubt they make it to the end of the year without liquidation.
That's how these conglomerates like it. They gut companies and hide behind "market conditions", "unfriendly unions", "internet markets", "bad workers", "immigrants stealing jobs", "cheaper outsourcing", etc...
American companies could do alot more for America if they weren't doing so much for the financial sector. We need to bring this sort of thing out of the shadows.
It's interesting, but they do seem to be thriving in lower income and rural areas. I haven't seen a videos store on my side of town, but at a recent medical appointment for my daughter, I heard another family telling their kids they could go to the video store if they were good. So I pulled up a google map of Indianapolis, and sure enought, there are plenty of Family Videos. Just not around the North Side. I think more affluent areas, where people have CC's, are mostly served by redbox. They also tend to have decent internet and you can get almost any video rental from Amazon.
It's easy to forget that not everybody has access to credit or debit cards. This makes kiosk services like redbox useless, and prevents them from purchasing online, even if they have reliable internet. Even Netflix is difficult to access, although you can get prepaid cards now.
I wonder how access to credit and debit cards affects piracy rates?
so, donating to a charity in someone's name makes you an asshole? Taxes aren't other people's money. They are part of the social contract or our society. Collecting them and deciding as a group what to do with them is a basic part of our government. Even Jesus said render unto Caesar.
anti-abortion, but pro-choice. I would also support someones right to die at their own choosing.
Why is a necessary charity bad if it comes from the Government, but good if it comes from some community group? The Government is the communities way of organizing itself to provide for all the things we need the community to do. We elect a representative to make decisions that would instead force us to constantly vote on minutia. We contribute money to handle things like roads, vaccines, research, fire fighting, corporate regulations, etc... Why does that hungry, poor, or about to be evicted family down the street stick out as an outlier that the government can't manage for us? Surely we should be creating the best possible system to manage our resources. It's clear that everyone will benefit if that family has a better outcome.
yup, something similar happened to artists copyright rights. The magic of committees. Their job is to merge two similar bills, but one person can carve out powerful loopholes that are difficult to spot.
Few people starved to death is a piss poor metric.
Children, mostly, and some adults die from lack of money for medical care. Even today, charity medical care is difficult to access, often impossible. Malnourished children and adults will die from minor illnesses. Mass evictions and homelessness cause significant damage to families and communities. It can take a couple generations for a family to recover from a poverty mindset. Hungry people also make poor decisions and are poor workers. Taxes seem like a bargain, but what do I know. I'm just someone who really respects life and tries to live as an example to others.

Not always true, find your niche.

wholesale infringement of intellectual property? Sounds like a great business idea.
There is also no really good way to duplicate any old part that comes in off the street. 3d scanners aren't really that good.
digikey or mouser should put together a Radio Shack inventory kit.
Fry's carries those components, but they are not as numerous.

SuSE is using btrfs as the default filesystem.
but rot.. Sounds serious...
Probably because of the circles you run in, here's some data to refute your anecdotes. Poverty is also quieter then success.
Think of it like the rent for being US citizen.
Is a child entitled to child support? Our legal system says yes.

Thanks for the management perspective.

I think that's a cultural preference, although it gets repeated often. People work well distributed, if they have the right tools and respect.
