训斥就完了?保安在哪里?这种行为按照故意伤害保护动物来算的话,至少可以拘留。

If you think you cant make a profit, then just dont do it

Heard this on NPR the other day, a guy talks about how walmart lowers new book price to something like $3.99(?), or even 1c lower than target, blah blah. He said that it's no longer $29.99 so they wont be able to publish books in future. Also 'if new movie DVDs are $5 each, there wont be any movies'.

B.S.

Most of those expensive books are just crappy ones any way, they mark the price high so the publishing company and publisher can make a huge profit on it even when they dont sell a whole lot, same for the movie. If they can only sell book/movies at $5 each, there will be many smaller publishers or people can just publish the stuff themselves online. Let those associations and big firms who are trying to make huge profit on OTHER pepole's work go belly up. I am pretty sure there will be many new books, many new music and movies out there even when they only ask for small amount of money. There might be less special effect, less polishing up but there will also be more talent, more good new songs and movies everybody can enjoy without those big box office names.

Same kind of barrier exists in finance, realty industry and practically every where else. The brokerage system and MLS system are the ones causing those extra greedy people to try their best to get their money while putting the entire society at maximum risk. That's CAPITALISM, that's FREE MARKET, it never worked on its own, it will never on its own.

Thoughts in life
  • Rush is pushing americans to support democrats? He's so extreme that only those stupid would believe in him. Interestingly that some senator/congressman repeated his words like 'american has world's best health insurance'. This probably results as insult to american who are not that stupid and make them vote for the other party.
  • You might need to redesign the system when ever you add changes to it as the schema and architect is no longer optimized but you obviously wont do it as you dont have the time for it.

Jobs report shows rising losses, higher unemployment - Oct. 2, 2009

manipulative poll example:

Jobs report shows rising losses, higher unemployment - Oct. 2, 2009: "Quick Vote
When will you know that an economic recovery is underway?

*
When the Dow tops 10,000
*
When GDP turns positive
*
When job growth resumes
*
It's already started"

how about having one option as 'it's not going to happen any time soon'?
