Not only that but this was a DEMOCRAT (Leahy) sponsored bill, co-sponsored by a bunch of your favorite DEMOCRATS, Clinton, Schumer, Boxer, Feinstein, Levin, other Dems, and some Republicans.
Don't ya think it's strange that the poor old cobol system has no problem giving every state employee a nice raise every year, but it can't do this???????
Not only healthcare, but other costs of running a business too. For instance the minimum wage in France is twice the US federal minimum wage, just about every employee in Germany is covered by a union wage agreement, vacation time in most countries is way more than the US, company healthplans pay for month long spa visits, etc.
You europeans can't have your gateau and eat it too. You've voted for high taxes, generous benefits, good social services, and that whole EU bureaucracy to save you from thinking that Dragon Sausages are actually made from dragons and generally drive businesses crazy with more and more regulations, now quit whining and accept that there's a price to pay for all that good stuff.
You're a realtor (surprised you didn't use your little R sign) and you don't understand this settlement? Well, let me explain it to you. The problem is that the MLS is THE dominant real estate listing service. If your desirable property is not listed on the MLS it has about as much chance of selling in a reasonable time as a sinkhole. Those friendly, helpful, smiling realtors were blocking agents from listing their properties on the MLS unless they were charging the seller the standard realtor cartel set high commission rate. Agents discounting the commission rate were blocked from listing on the MLS.
Hopefully this is the first crack in the cartel's carefully constructed wall and the FTC deserves a big one for this action.

Yep, yet another of those eyerolling issues that make you wonder how any of us in the "had to ride to the library with no bike helmets and play with lead painted toys", boomer generation ever managed to reach adulthood.
This is typical justice as administered by the San Francisco district attorney's office. Petty, and not so petty, criminals and dealers commute daily to SF from the rest of the bay area to do their thing, it's a complete farce.

Close to extinction:-( Halted Specialties (now called HSC Electronics and located on Ryder, Lawrence/Central) is still in business but a shadow of what it was in the good old days. There's a surplus materials place on E Bayshore at Whipple in RWC but I don't recall the name. I too would like to know where that mythbusters place is, I think it may be Oakland somewhere.
Real security is elusive. We had a series of overnight computer thefts. The janitors were suspected, the night shift was suspected. Security was beefed up = all briefcases were to be searched on exit. Dumb, dumb, dumb, I several times (with permission) took computer items out, each time they searched my briefcase but didn't comment on the hardware I put on the guards' desk while they did it. Finally one of the janitors caught a security guard humping CPU's out the window...
Many large organizations lease their hardware, no big chunks of capital to cough up every few years, predictable replacement cycle = no whining staff, no temptation to "make do" with clunkers for a few more years, usually get better hardware for less each time the lease renews, I believe there are tax advantages too but IANACPA.
Jeez, he couldn't find Liberty Basic !!! Runs on 2K, XP. Gives you access to the ports just like in the good old pre-NT days. Start from the very basic (sorry) and work up to using DLL's and all kinds of complex windows stuff. Generates stand alone programs. Very inexpensive, excellent user group and support. No direct link 'cause I don't want to be the guy who killed their server.
Yep, I tried it and switched back too. Unfortunately it hasn't gotten any faster:-( I sure hope they continue to offer the vanilla interface otherwise I'll be looking for another email provider.
100 surgeries, whoa, that's a statistical anomaly right there:-0
Last study I recall the US annual total was 2,000 incidents total, something like 30% of which were instruments. So if the population is 300,000,000 that's 1 person in 150,000 gets a little gift each year. You must have a lot of friends.
Wow, you personally know 3 people who had instruments left in them? That's quite a statistical anomaly. Where are your friends getting their surgeries, AAMCO?
It looks like they got caught in a transfer pricing scheme to evade US taxes. They set up an Irish subsidiary to handle all sales outside the US, but didn't charge the sub a fair (in the opinion of the IRS) price for the software/IP they were selling. Gaming transfer prices is SOP for US multinationals.

Sure it's the cheapest path forward for Walmart, they'll collect a bunch of subsidies paid for by us CA utility customers and taxpayers.
I don't think so. It's certainly true that acorn production is cyclic but this has been a good acorn year on my property in N California.
is even worse, fall for their spam and their system will scrape your email address book and spam everybody in your name.

OTOH the incidence of rear ender accidents would increase dramatically.
Absolute, total, BS.

Wow, it's worth an extra $100/month to you just to have an iphone to flash around? Can I have some of what you are smoking?

But if they lose on appeal wouldn't that make it a precedent that could be used in other cases?
