The east coast has more big cities than those other places, but there are still. HUGE number of teeny-tiny dying towns all up and down the eastern seaboard.
Kids that aren’t even born yet (debt spending).
Or possibly a window?
Twitter was a vapid load of crap before Elmo took it over. I see this as a win if it knocks him down a peg or 44 billion.
Right, but stick with me here... what if they could make MORE money? All they need to do is stop requiring them to clean out the lead in the toxic waste that they dump on their worker's towns and the owners can put that money into another vacation house.
Or corporations who want to have a say. BP Oil will happily drop off a shipping container of cash at a "volunteer's" house if it means that they eliminate inspections of oil platforms in the gulf.
Corporations will be stumbling over themselves to insert HIGHLY paid people into these positions.
These are the people that invented automation. Why do a job when you can have a machine do it for you?
Or, as another commenter pointed out, because their corporate bosses are paying gobs of money to them to 'volunteer' for these positions.
I hadn't thought of that, but this is 100% exactly what will happen. BP oil will surely pay someone VERY handsomely to 'volunteer' 80 hours a week toward eliminating all oversight of drilling rigs in the gulf.
It was less about the .99 pricing and more about "Sale" pricing and 'coupons'. Retailers will put a pair of pants on "Sale" for 50% off 51 weeks out of the year and people think they're getting a great deal whereas when it's not half off, they just don't buy.
These are objective facts as opposed to random ravings of lunatics. Remember that Fox News’ own lawyers claim that it’s not actually news but rather is entertainment only.
