    Isn't there a minimum bid, though?

    Would they win, though? Do you think voters would take kindly to a politician who did that?

    Yes, but at the same time, do you think it would work out well for them, publicity wise, if they were to sue a constituent for robocalling them?

    If those legitimate callers are upset with it, then they should work to get the political exemption removed from anti-robocalling bills.

    That was slightly different. He was a red robocalling people in the blue heavy areas with a message like "The election is won! Don't bother voting."

    Simple solution: Have the robodialer call the politician's home and cell phones.

    Yeah, no. Nothing you've said justifies any of those practices. They have just shown that you are a worthless MBA who is going to concentrate on share price rather than actually making sure the company is stable.

    You didn't counter my point. You did, however, decide to throw a tantrum and claim that it's not all the MBA's fault, when in most cases, the decisions that ruin a company's culture and business can be directly traced back to decisions made by MBAs.

    Further, if you're going to bitch and moan about people being "anti-education", I'd hope you'd never chime in when people start saying that liberal arts degrees are "worthless" and that those people will be cooking fries.

    Nope. Further, what Accounting classifies something as has nothing to do with how it's perceived in the company. If you think that IT is just a money pit, then you are doing it wrong.

    According to this guy, it was everyone at the conference that wasn't the guy in jeans. So I'd say it's more than one action.

    I would imagine it does depend on that, and I guess the value of the phone itself. And how long you want to finance it for.

    Thank you. Finally a fanboy admitting that Apple holds a monopoly on the tablet market.

    Uhhh, no. They merely have a dominant position. Wake me when they try to leverage that dominant position to force OEMs to perform anti-competitive acts.

    He's probably doing a decent number of them. But unlike the business school grads, he knows when not to follow the MBA book. Many MBAs will follow that line of thinking, but when it doesn't work, they don't know what to do.

    Wow, that's not what anyone is saying at all. People hate MBAs because the "education" they receive is completely not in line with reality.

    Care to point out how saying MBAs are worthless is being "anti-education"? I'm very much in favor of education, and would agree that the majority of people with MBAs are worthless. The program itself is generally worthless, too.

    Yeah, and if everyone always did exactly what the market wanted, we wouldn't have the car. We wouldn't have the iPad and other tablets. We wouldn't have a number of things we consider quite invaluable today.

    Public companies exist soley to raise their stock price any means necessary by utilizing creative financial ratios.

    And that there is the entire problem, and the reason things are so fucked up. This line of thinking is completely wrong and benefits no one, aside from a few hedge fund managers and CEOs looking for a quick out.

    Except that the "book learning" done for MBAs typically completely misses the point of what happened. They keep concentrating on replicating the success, without thinking about the "why".
