Re:False Data

On: Supermarket Loyalty Cards Vs National ID Cards

I hope you always pay in cash because.... Here is my shopper card #23423 (with fake data on it), and my debit card #34534 (obviously real data on it) to pay for the $150 in food. Now they know that shopper card #23423 is used by the person with debit card #34534. A perfect match is made. Sure there are legalities to be sorted out, but do you think MegaLoMart cares? I give Wal-Mart about 2 years before they have Wal-Cards.

Good thinking! Go ahead and send ANOTHER overly left of center senator into battle. I'm sure she appeals to the middle YOU just lost. Pause and rethink before you repeat the same mistake again.

Clinton actually did have an effect on that. His higher taxes on stock dividends (capital gains) forced people to invest in high growth stocks (like Enron and the dot-commers) instead of stable companies that paid out a then heavily taxed dividend. The shift of money caused by increased dividend taxes helped amplify the market crash of early 2000.

IANAE, (Im not an economist) but it seems rational to me.

On: Hybrid Cars Don't Live Up to Mileage Claims

The other day I saw one of those "riced" electric cars with a "NOS" sticker. I just shook my head. That ranks up there with the hub caps with cross drilled rotors.
