Not far left, but certainly not middle left. From my perch the right here seems to be more moderate to me. In the eye of the beholder perhaps

Very surprised but I'll take you for your word. Most liberals seem to be pretty solid liberals; even those that post here

What do you think is nuts about CA liberalism? Curious? In other words, explain for me the difference between liberalism of the majority and CA's liberalism?

New York is proving to be very much unique

yes, yes he is

Dividends are cut after the company begins to do poorly. Many reasons why a company begins doing poorly. Businesses with continual improvement, learning how to do things faster, cheaper and more efficiently survive. Technology, probably more than anything else does that.

All I'm saying is that your assumption that it was a prepayment isn't necessarily correct. All we know is that it was a payment.

Or they were paying for something he did when he was vp

Schools were closed, kiddos were stuck at home to roam through kitchen cabinets

They're both too old. But there really isn't an argument as to which is in a greater stage of decline, is there?

do you think Joe remembers saying it?

How'd it all go up in smoke?

a payoff for access when he was vp? why is that so difficult to be a possibility?

presumption of innocence. We have to start there

Poyer knows not to dive at Allens feet. I suspect there will be a head on collision. Allen jumps right up and heads to the huddle. Poyer, on the other hand, .............

Ahh, if a company folds a company folds. Many reasons could cause that and blame is cheap. I think technology is the primary reason companies fail. Dividends are cut early when a company starts doing poorly. C Suite is very important in a company's success or failure.

It would make sense that a more robust union effort, driving up wages for the workers would have to come from cost cutting/shifting, more than likely coming from the C Suite. I'm not opposed to non government dynamics impacting upper level salaries. I am totally against any government controls or interventions in this dynamic.

I get the unions aspect. I was wondering how you'd control executive comp.

So what would this look like, in your opinion? Who makes these determinations and decisions?

I don't expect to convince you to agree with me. If you can think of a better system in the world, throughout history, I would appreciate you informing me of it. Otherwise, let's agree to disagree.

None of us are immune from each other. We all work for and towards our individual interests and while those interests vary, we all own our liberty. We all go quit and go to work across the street. While capitalism isn't perfect, there isn't a better system in the world, throughout all of history.

Do you think capitalism causes greed? Greed has and will always exist.

Citizens got revenue from government sources as part of the pandemic relief efforts. Quite a bit actually. Some of it was in lieu of working. It's difficult to apply any normal sort of economic theory to all of it. Global supply chain issues raised prices, the US printing shytloads of money raised prices, workforce shortages caused significant increases in pay which increased prices, regulations have always raised prices, etc.

Quite the narrative. Your answer is in your own post

Have a nice night
