Well the stock is a bargain right now - the market hasn't reacted to this or the layoff news. It's still down even after a better-than-expected earnings report. I'm picking up some shares right now!
It seems to me that most offices would benefit from having a sensible balance of both genders. For whatever reason, women tend to have a different approach to problem solving than men, which might add value in itself. It might also motivate people to be a little bit more aware of certain aspects of coexistence that are often somewhat neglected in an all-male office - IOW it might make the office-atmosphere a little nicer.
I doubt it. The modern office workplace today is entirely asexual. It's quite the opposite of "Mad Men" (a depiction of office life that I doubt anyone wants to restore). The ideal environment for HR and the lawyers is one entirely blind to anyone's gender. Get rid of the gender labels on the bathrooms, for god's sake, it's causing too many issues. Don't comment on anyone's clothing or hairstyle, don't even mention whether someone is male or female, that's the way. Office romances, once a stable of work life, are horribly verboten. We can't have Dan from accounting asking Doris from Marketing out for a date. Don't even extend an invitation to lunch - harassment is a wrong glance on an elevator these days.
So when you go to work, dress androgynously, speak to everyone in the same monotone voice, and for crying out loud try to forget that all these people are humans and sexual beings. It's dangerous.
You'll need to do this kind of social engineering over in India, then, because that's where all the coders are coming from now, and the ones that are filling all the jobs. It's probably going to be a much rougher battle for the SJW crowd to make the kind of headway over in that culture than they do here in the US. But maybe it will give them something to do while we (men and women) get on with business.
It's almost as if the Bush and Clinton families are both criminal enterprises...
They were certainly both culpable in collecting money for Haiti that went into pockets of people that did little or nothing to actually help the people of Haiti.
Sure, they source things and explain why they rated things the way they did (like rating Obama's statement that "people buy guns over the Internet without a background check" during a speech calling for better background check laws as TRUE by qualifying the statement with "He never said people do that legally).
But no one ever looks at that. They look at the rating which often has twisted justifications that are, yes, clearly biased. But, like I said, no one looks at the justification. In fact, they will propagate nonsense like a aggregate of a bunch of rating as if they were unassailable facts to judge the "truthfulness" of one candidate or organization compared to another. When all that aggregate really tells you is how biased those "fact check" sites actually are.
Nope, no US agency has said anything of the kind. Your article quotes unnamed "former security officials" saying that Russia stole files from the DNC. One is actually named, retired CIA director Hayden, who has been out of government for 7 years, and has no idea what was in the security briefing.
It's interesting to note that this is the same Hayden Hayden referred to people who believed that enhanced interrogation techniques used against CIA detainees have never yielded useful intelligence, as "interrogation deniers". He currently works for the Chertoff group. Conflict of interest? Yes. Credible? No.
I've never seen so many Americans rush to defend Russias honor
If more Americans had questioned the evidence that Iraq was stocked with WMDs and ready to use them, maybe we would have never gotten in that war. Let's question evidence that Russia is involved in espionage before we decide to go to war with them, okay?
As for the hacking, Russia has been on our top 2 threat list to our country for over a decade
I think you mean top threat to our country's energy companies. That's why we're fighting proxy wars over pipelines. Of course the Putin hate really ramped up after they gave Snowden asylum. Hillary has a personal vendetta against him, and is clearly interested in starting a war with Russia just to get at Snowden.
This is not a false flag by the Clinton campaign in coordination with our government, this is Julian Assange coordinating with Russia (to what degree, who knows).
It sucks that Ticketbastard is even getting any business these days - they have lost the monopoly on the market that they once had. Promoters and venue operators need to wake up and stop doing the exclusive contracts.
Particularly among the flavor of the day pop acts.
Well, yea. That's the thing: those guys are just touring as a way to sell records (or Spotify hits or iTunes downloads or whatever), and that's how they make money. So putting on a good show is not something they put any effort into. They're just making an appearance to sell recordings.
There are plenty of great artists out there that don't really make a lot on recordings, they make money putting on quality shows for the audience, typically doing stuff that doesn't even translate well to their recordings. If you're interested in see live acts, it's those artists you should be supporting.
Instead of lowering taxes to encourage profits to come home, why but just change the tax rules so that they have to? That's what the EU is doing. Tax is paid based on where business is transacted, not where they funnel the profit to.
That could work, too. The US tax system is a screwed up mess right now. US citizens can't even get bank accounts in many countries because of the onerous reporting requirements the IRS imposes. Needs to be something simpler.
Lower tax rates do not necessarily lead to lower tax revenue. In fact, lowering a rate to a point that the US has a structure for companies competitive with other countries, it encourages more companies to headquarter there. Combined with incentives for repatriating the trillions of dollars US companies are hording overseas, it could well lead to significantly increased tax revenues.
You can either compete with China to set up the lowest cost sweatshop, or you can concentrate on high end manufacturing and service jobs.
Service jobs are not going to help with the trade deficit. The US is still the premier manufacturer of weapons, one of the few exports left. High-end manufacturing, yes, as well as but China is not going to buy our robots for their factories (though others might). One of the things that helps the weapons manufacturers are rules that require them to do certain things within the US, as well as significant amount of federal dollars to develop high-end products. Meanwhile, other industries face crippling regulations for the smaller companies, and tax incentives that encourage large companies to create jobs offshore. Both of those things need to be fixed before ANY significant improvement in the job market can happen.
Trump's idea is to remove those incentives for moving jobs overseas, and put in policies that strongly encourage companies to do their work here instead.
Hillary has proposed the same thing. I trust her to appoint someone who will get the job done. Trump will be too busy putting his name on the White House.
Bullshit. She's a fucking Globalist writ large. She will continue proxy wars and bombing in the Middle East, importing H1-Bs to replace Americans who will train them, open the borders for anyone who wants to come, and encourage any job to move overseas and jack up tax rates on corporations (currently the highest in the world) to even higher levels. She loves TPP (oh - she's she denied it when Bernie opposed it, but will either "change her opinion" or just come up with something worse with a new name), she supports TPIP, she loves NAFTA and wants it expanded, etc., etc.
I don't trust her for shit. She works for Wall Street, the banks, foreign nationals and multinational corporations (all of whom she has cozy relationships with). Disaster.
American law doesn't require that Trump outsource his work overseas.
It doesn't require it but it strongly encourages it. Textiles are almost impossible to make in the US. I found one company that makes dress shirts in the US. They start at $120 per shirt, so that's a very small market.
Trump's idea is to remove those incentives for moving jobs overseas, and put in policies that strongly encourage companies to do their work here instead. This is needed to stop the trade deficits that are bleeding the country of jobs and resources.
Oh, I don't know. Agenda 21 was just a "soft law" too that was rejected by the Senate, and yet more than half of the provisions have already been implemented administratively. All those bureaucrats with marching orders just write it up as rules in the Federal Register, and they're never tied to a specific treaty provision. Instead, they just thought the 23,000 pages of federal law and find a new definition for one of the words in there. That's why you can't put fill dirt in a low spot in that 1-acre lot you bought without a permit from the Corps of Engineers - because it's considered "discharging pollutants into the navigable waters of the US." That "significant nexus" phrase is not found anywhere in the laws congress passed, but it's all over the place in the regulations.

How the fuck is BLM considered liberal?
You're right. They're more accurately considered communist, or maybe black separatist.
And yet, they are registering to vote. Some have actually voted. There are even some registrars that are refusing to show they are taking known non-citizens off the roles.

Wait - Hillary AND Trump are working for Putin??!! Wow.
Hopefully they never come back up! It would be great to live in a world with the above gone. Hopefully the FANG companies are next to go.
You can hate on all those very popular sites all you want, but it's affecting my tiny websites too.

U.S. agencies say they are "confident" that Moscow orchestrated the attacks.
Nope, no US agency has said anything of the kind. Your article quotes unnamed "former security officials" saying that Russia stole files from the DNC. One is actually named, retired CIA director Hayden, who has been out of government for 7 years, and has no idea what was in the security briefing.

More unsubstantiated Russia hate and warmongering. Assange has now be cut off from the Internet, thanks to threats to Ecuador by the Obama administration. I think it's pretty horrible that it appears the president is ready to start a war just to ensure the current party stays in power.
Again, this is my $0.02 but Hillary has supported President Obama's intention to bring Snowden and Assange to trial here in the US.
And she's perfectly willing to start wars to make it happen.

On top of that, due to lower tax income
Lower tax rates do not necessarily lead to lower tax revenue. In fact, lowering a rate to a point that the US has a structure for companies competitive with other countries, it encourages more companies to headquarter there.

The EU has agreed to ratify it as well, so we'll get above 55% easily.
The EU isn't a country.
People at that time have immediate needs, and I'd rather see those tended by some priority other than how much they can afford.
We're not talking about people injured needed a ride to the hospital. Just a bunch of people that need a cab.
