You know, brick and mortar retailers have been struggling due to increasing competition from online shopping. This year black friday online sales surpassed brick and mortar sales for the first time. That's probably where 99.999% of that stock drop came from. 0.001% might be from weirdos like you that care where people pee.
Your analysis is off. Walmart, another brick and mortar and probably their largest competitor, was at ~$68 in April 2016 and now is ~$96. Still standing by your 99.999% theory?
If that's a reaction, it sounds like a rather drastic one for a company that wanted people to be able to take a leak in comfort.
It prioritized the 0.3 percent's comfort (actual number,citation below) at the expense of the remaining 99.7%. That trade off is bad math. Moreover they doubled down when called on it and thus became a symbol of political correctness. They chose their customer base and I'm not part of it.
Improving the practical freedom of the average human has always involved adding laws to the books. Aimless minimization of laws only benefits the most powerful at the expense of the rest of society.
So by that logic if we pass an addition million laws we will somehow become more free. That doesn't ring true. A certain level of law is needed true but once the basics are covered you get less freedom with each additional law.
Remember, advertisers have some of the thinnest skins in the world, and YouTube monetization relies on ads to pay both YouTube and the content creator. If the advertiser doesn't like the videos their ad gets attached to, then they pull their ads or force YouTube to never show their ads on those kind of videos.
I think advertisers have been very responsive to small but loud SJW campaigns. I expect that eventually you will see campaigns in the other direction, not unlike what happen to Target. Certainly Target shot itself in the foot because despite all the claims how the bathroom controversy had no impact their stock price peaked in April 2016 at ~$82 when the issue broke and they are now at $61. Sounds like an impact to me.
I am curious, however, how much the gun channels are making on Patreon. YouTube has apparently de-monetized most all of them (I guess YT has a political slant)...and it appears most of the larger ones are now using Patreon to try to regain some of that lost YT revenue.
Fox News started off as a conservative alternative to the very liberal news options. I think that same play could be made in just about every other area of entertainment other than music, which has always been pretty diverse. Certainly comedies, movies, TV series and kids content would all be options.
Hope they're enjoying their warm weather. You have to take the good with the bad. Didn't the U.S. steal it from the Indians or Mexicans anyways? Bad karma?
Best thing that ever happen to the land if you've ever seen Mexico. If we could go back in time we should have just absorbed Mexico. We'd have a smaller border to defend and the Mexicans would already be integrated and English speaking. It would save everyone a lot of trouble in the long run.
Also the CEO Susan is the most under-qualified person to run a giant company in the entirety of the US, including non-english speakers, the mentally unstable, and non-human animals.
Careful, no matter how accurate your comments are the SJWs will automatically lump you in the sexist category and harass you in the name of the greater good.
That depends on what you call good content. For me tutorials and build videos (the physical type, not compiling / linking) *are* good content and are widely available all day long on Youtube.
If one of them occasionally loses their shit and goes on a killing spree...it's not going to be the CEO who gets shot.
This is the part that would get change made the fastest. I'd be happy if politicians were killed off in pairs since both D and R are hopelessly corrupt and both need to have the herd thinned. The bipartisan nature of it would allow justice to be done without it becoming partisan. A milder version of this is that both Trump and Hillary need to be locked up.
This doesn't have much to do with immigration. The race-to-the-bottom works just fine with locals.
What you need to have is a strong (independent and non-corrupt) labor union to ensure the employer offers the same employment conditions to different people for the same position, so employers can't do this.
It has a lot to do with immigration. The race to the bottom works even faster the more people you have competing in the race. This is why immigration matters as it adds more people to the race.
Yep, diversity applies to pretty much everyone....except old white guys....
Actually it doesn't apply to white guys at all, regardless of age. Even suggesting diversity could ever positively involve a white male will get you fired.
Right after WW2 that argument made sense. It no longer makes sense. I think that Japan will behave now, as will South Korea. The treasure wasted defending them is immense.
There are many upsides to the various protection rackets we've put in place around the world. We have benefited hugely from them. They are mostly implicit threats that get us lower prices in trade and other matters. Look into the Suez Canal for the best example of this. But, some also save us megamoney by preventing another war. This is one of those. Japan still has a faction that would love to reassert their version of the master race militarily.
As we have a negative balance of trade with most countries, and certainly Japan and South Korea, I don't see us benefiting.
This missile flight lasted 50 min but went only 600 miles... Nearly straight UP and straight DOWN. I point out that DPRK is obvious testing by lofting the missile way up and watching the reentry where they can see it. They are testing phases of fight other than assent, which means they have the booster they think they need.
Now think a little about what this means. They can fly a missile some 50 min... How far can they get this thing to go if they are not shooting it straight up? I'm guessing they can go far enough to threaten more than just Japan.
This is getting *really* dangerous folks. We either need to start building bomb shelters, deal with this threat or more likely both.
Bring back Starwars stuff and pay for it by pulling back from silly conflicts like Iraq / Afghanistan / Yemen / etc. Being able to shoot down incoming missiles should be more feasible now and will create non-H1B jobs as a bonus.
The treaty needs to be dropped with a 10 year time frame to allow Japan time to get a military going. It's silly that the US defends the world for no upside. Same for South Korea.
Taxing global companies more in one country simply makes them move revenue through other countries.
It would be hard enough to just get consistency in the OECD countries, let alone the rest of the world.
I feel like we may never know as government is bought and paid for to *always* include loopholes. Even if some in government are really trying there are others who will sabotage it then revolve out of government to collect their paycheck. Taxes are mostly for the upper middle class and small to medium businesses. The rest pay little to nothing percentage wise.
In the most recent Presidential election, we were given the choice between a candidate that was absolutely unacceptable and one whom we were willing to vote for, even if we had to hold our noses as we did. Which one was which is something that I'll leave as an exercise for the reader.
I have seen some buyers remorse on the R side. The D side seems preoccupied with reliving the past and speculating what small detail could have tipped it their way - ignoring the more obvious point that if they had only run a decent candidate it would have been an easy sweep.
Pro tips for 2018:
1) >50% of the population is white. Stop hating on white people and putting down whole states as racist deplorables.
2) Almost 50% of the population is male. Constantly criticizing men won't help your cause either.
3) Economics for the 99% is >330 times more important than corner cases like transgenders in the military. Focus on broad issues of real importance.
Did U Know? that poverty was going down in Appalachia until they started buying into racist dogwhistles and voting for Republican governance? You can look it up.
To be honest I'm not a big D nor R fan, though I dislike them for different reasons. The Democrats favor social engineering and have decided that white people and men are both bad (citation below). As I'm both that isn't appealing to me. Their non-stop race baiting is off-putting. If they decided that they were willing to drop the race baiting and go back to trying to focus on the working poor - upper middle class then I'd be happy to vote for them. The Republicans are a mix of rich for the rich but they at least don't call me names for the crime of being born white and male. To my mind they are both run by mega donors, you just have a choice of Soros vs Koch brothers. I dislike both.
The outraged class sees all whites as privileged and part of the upper middle class or better facts be damned. Facts like a huge number of white people are poor or disenfranchised don't count to them. SJWs are the useful idiots of the 1%'s to keep the 99% from ever getting economic justice.
No, you fucking moron.. It's not like that at all. You just made shit up.
Nobody has been "shooed" away, which is the crux of your retarded argument. They were never there to begin with.
The closest analogy to what you want is for an advertiser to be forced to put a flyer on every single telephone pole, instead of telephone poles of their choosing.
This is clearly fucking stupid, and only fools like AmiMojo or yourself can't comprehend it.
Anyone who spends their time worrying about their standing in the protected class Olympics is a fool and probably can't comprehend it. They live their lives with chips on their shoulders and can even look at the absolute poverty in Appalachia and still see "white privilege".

Jimmy Carter ... is that you? All jokes aside he should have had to give back the Nobel prize he got when the North Koreans duped him.

No, we fight wars with kid gloves. If we fought like our enemies it would be bloody, swift, and one sided. Also the world would never forgive us.
Who are you kidding, the world hates us regardless. The sooner the US pulls back and lets the world that hates us so much go to hell the better.
