Tower Records entered bankruptcy for the first time in 2004. Factors cited were the heavy debt incurred during its aggressive expansion in the 1990s, growing competition from mass discounters and Internet piracy. Mismanagement, managerial incompetence, and crippling restrictions from the first bankruptcy deal also contributed to Tower's demise. (wikipedia)
Amazon was already well established selling CDs by then. In 1997 Amazon was big enough to be sued by Barnes and Noble, and that didn't happen by selling just "used college books".
There's an additional advantage to working compared to being on the dole. You learn skills, your attitude is different. You are a better person. Yes, I do mean that if you're receiving government assistance you're inferior.
WalMart has competitors. If it pays much more than the competition, it will lose money. If it pays much less than the competition, it will lose employees. WalMart's advantages of efficient systems and tough negotiations with suppliers are not enough to allow them to successfully pretend that nobody else is competing with them.
The Coffin Cure by Alan E. Nourse appeared in Galaxy magazine, April 1957. I just now skimmed over it, and it's a bit different than what I remember, so maybe there have been other stories on the same theme.
Well, gee, if we invent automobiles that's going to hurt the shoe industry and the horse industry. And if we stop breaking windows that's going to hurt the glazing industry.
There are a lot of studies contrary to your claim; and your claim of "proof" is demonstrably false. For one thing, vitamin C is a mild antihistamine, so it reduces cold symptoms and reduces the perceived (and perhaps actual) duration of a cold.
Zinc and vitamin C are both very cheap. If you use tobacco or alcohol, dropping them and taking supplements instead will leave you in better condition financially.
The word "need" when applied to quantity of vitamin C is not a simple evaluation. A small quantity prevents scurvy; larger amounts (even beyond a gram per day) provide other health benefits. Do you only need the amount of vitamin C that prevents scurvy, or do you also need better wound healing and resistance to some diseases?
"Human resources" is both less accurate and more demeaning than "personnel." Resources can't get up and walk away. There's no good reason to use inferior, obfuscatory terminology.
In the US in the 1960s, all public school children were given multiple doses of the Sabin vaccine, usually mixed in a small amount of orange juice. No charge.
Widespread hatred requires an organizing force. That force for the last 8 years has been Barack Obama. With him out of power, there's a good chance that things will improve (especially if Soros is imprisoned for inciting riots.)
Landowners have greater incentive to preserve the environment and their property. Ask a few landlords what their biggest problem is, and you'll find the answer is destructive tenants. Apartment dwellers have a much smaller stake in the success of the country.
How about the votes of wise people counting more than the votes of fools? The votes of sane people counting more than the votes of potential suicides? The votes of people with a stake in America's success counting more than arsonists and saboteurs?
There are people whose goal is to destroy. Why should their desires be given a chance to succeed?

So Nike shirts normally cost ten times what they're worth? What a bargain you got, paying only 3-1/3 times what a smart shopper would pay.
You win the non sequitur award for today.
It's never been done, therefor it can't be done. But if it were done in this one case, it could be done in all cases.

That's a gross oversimplification of ongoing research. As you stated it, it's just false.

Stop providing stupid arguments.

Organic LEDs age badly. Cadmium based semiconductors age badly. So they'll be combining 2 technologies to enhance the disadvantages of each.

Jackson was a slaveholder - a vicious slaveholder.
As a person, he was vain and vindictive.

Read the Constitution. The House has to choose from among the three leading candidates. Romney isn't there.

If you think the borders of counties have been determined by gerrymandering, you are seriously ignorant.

The 3/5 arrangement was a slap against slaveholders, who wanted the power of full slave-population demographics without allowing slaves to vote.
Sometimes. Not JFK, LBJ, Nixon, or Bill Clinton, to pick some of the more obvious examples.
The question is, do you support the electoral college system, or do you support some form of perversion?

Hillary defends rapists and attacks rape victims. By comparison, Trump is intensely moral.
Unless you're growing trees, farming in Vermont is a hopeless activity. The climate is cold and the soil is poor.
