It’s a pretty good place as long as you are white. The standard of living is ridiculously high if you have an oil and gas job where you haven’t been laid off yet.
Yeah the creepy old guy vibe is pretty funny, but McGannon was a one man wrecking crew for several years. McGannon = PGP, hard for me to see someone else leading the charge
Our student loans shot up because state governments reduced funding to universities who then raised tuition. The state governments are too busy funding absurd pension promises to our parents and grandparents generation to pay for our shit.
Xanthan gum is just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many chemicals people eat that we use in drilling, fracture treatments, and production of oil and gas.
Does the regulation apply to the ISPs that make up “the last mile” to your house or the Internet backbone providers? I was under the impression it applied more to the backbone guys. They tend to do a good job which is why if you have fiber it is so fast. Obviously the cable companies etc. are criminal in their customer service and pricing since there is so little competition.
You are right – the biggest opportunity at the federal level is in health care. The problem is neither side can actually do anything good because they rely on votes from super liberals and/or old people that scream bloody murder if anything is changed. So repealing ACA doesn’t actually get you anywhere without wholesale reform.
The solution is somehow you have to get the incentives to where health care consumers shop by price and quality for all services like you would any other product. Right now most hospitals can’t even give you a cost estimate for a certain procedure. The best idea I have heard of is repeal the tax break for employer health care, give it to individuals as a credit in a health savings account, then everyone will better off buying high deductible insurance themselves and rationing their funds accordingly. The market will be more competitive and we can actually get some productivity out that sector instead of more bloat. If you can make something like that happen politically then you should run for President. Or at least the house if the age requirement holds you back.
Recoveries are always slow after a major financial crisis.
The truth is economists don’t have a good idea of what policies and regulations would prevent asset bubbles and still allow growth. Two major crises in a century don’t give a good sample size. The economy still sucks for a lot of people, and the government isn’t helping on either side of aisle. We Americans are going to have to bootstrap ourselves to full employment. The gap will narrow if employment keeps growing and business and consumers keep investing and buying. Compared to our fellows across the pond our growth has been remarkable.
The biggest opportunities for increasing our growth rate actually reside at the state level like removing licensing requirements for professions that don’t need them. Classic supply side stuff there. Sadly no one pays attention to those elections so state houses make congress look like the NYY vs. a little league team.
This is true, the author should be blaming news outlets for only reporting U3 numbers, not the government statisticians that release U3, U5, and U6 every month? Anyone serious checks all the datasets because each has its weaknesses and strengths.
Grandex’s revenue ambitions are stretching their market niche to the breaking point.
They will either drive off their business or become the ESPN of the Greek and young professional humor market. We all hate the monster it has become, but we still tune in.
Use that ambition and take some initiative. How useful is social media in converting buyers? What demographics value what out if the buying experience? Surely there is a question like that your bosses/owners don’t know and might value. Even if they do, someone will be impressed. 35 hours is a lot of time to do quality work.

Catie is off the website too, they must have eloped.

I’m still confused how you are the Director of PGP over McGannon

I think I saw Gil last week at NAPE huddled in the “Dealmakers Lounge” trying to hustle a play together

Extra funny that the U6 is a BLS statistic just like U3, both are released once a month. http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t15.htm
Maybe sit the next play out?

I think the whole point of this article was to let McGannon know her ring size is on her Pinterest page.

I guess that explains your fascination with the people killing variety of calibers.
I rarely shoot my .45 or AK-47 because that’s all they are practical for. I’m always using my hunting calibers and .22.
As someone who grew up with guns and owns more than 20, it is shocking that someone’s first gun would be a hire powered hand gun.
Everyone should start with a .22 rifle, can’t go wrong with a Ruger 10/22.
