Pissed-off Whole Foods employee writes tremendous resignation letter - Food on Shine
This letter of resignation is very helpful to Whole Foods. The guy should be rehired, given a promotion and placed in a position where he can influence operational policies for the good of the company.
Give your critical and thinking person a promotion and responsibility!
How The Government Screws Over Savers
The government is subsidising the housing industry excessively because it is seen as a job creator.
Unfortunately, it is the one sector that should pay it's way and if it can't the rest of the economy suffers. If the market has any role at all it is in seeing that the core housing sector can be self sustaining without government support in the form of interest tax rebates, low interest rates and spending above a sustainable rate linked to migration and demographics.
What Bush did was make the 1980s Texas mistake for the whole country encouraging land speculation and excessive growth in the housing sector. That pushed up housing prices and has as we are seeing reduced overall housing and industrial growth. It was a fool hardy policy and unsustainable.
The danger is that some idiots may take the situation to a stage beyond repair. If taxes don't rise then interest rates will.... My prediction!

Dan Loeb Blasts Obama's Leadership In Second Quarter Investor Letter
US taxes need adjustment and more targeting of subsidised interests who don't need subsidies. Suppose America were to withdraw the interest subsidy on mortgages?
Obama! Well, perhaps one has to redefine leadership to include making choices that don't continue business as usual. President Obama leads in a very different way from Bush in that he asks people to consider Americans first, and not the profit margin.
Investors have a habit of migrating their money to places like China.
Had Bush been less keen to push forward a political agenda that really divided the rich from the poor, we / the world would not be in such a mess! If it's the blame game then look to past leadership!

The Internet User's Best Kept Secret
Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth.
