what the heck is gocomics doing with this site? It’s crashing my browser, didn’t let me log in for almost 24 hours (message from The Management: Try again later, in the meantime, play his here game, or something like that), some of the comics won’t display (now that I’ve finally been able to sign in) and I have Doonesbury characters crawling up the screen. Ugh.
^ So far I have yet to have a problem with this site with the exception of the ads. I think its a California thing since I recall Senor saying he had similar issues.
I’m hoping today’s intermittent problems are GoComics & uClick trying a fix for spam complaints.
The best candidates didn’t run because we need, but can’t get, a State constitutional convention, which is the only thing that could fix the underlying problem. Eliminating paid signiture gatherers would help.
It puzzles me that people, who say they support personal responsibility, are so quick to absolve CEOs of any responsibility for knowing what is going on in their businesses or homes.
How can you be worth millions in wages AND make the claim that you just didn’t know what was going on under your nose?
^ California’s problems are huge and I have no idea if either candidate for Gov. is going to be capable of fixing the difficult problems of PERS pensions, illegal immigration, weird tax arrangements, and the intransigence of the Legislature.
I don’t have a problem with a guest farmworker program for agriculture, but taxpayers are providing transportation, housing, medical costs for the workers. Ag owners, including some big mega “farmers” have gotten the state to pick up costs they should bear, at least to an extent more than they do now.
And there’s no question there’s a lot of fraud and waste in social services, that’s fixable but state officials just make across the board cuts rather than find and fix the underlying abuse and fraud, so it never changes.
I’ll have to hold my nose when I vote in Nov.
Whitman is another one of those CEOs (like Fiorini) who shipped thousands of jobs overseas and then rewarded herself with huge pay and bonuses. Hate that.
^ Except that the business media is reporting that large businesses are sitting on unprecedented piles of cash, reporting record earnings. Did you know Reagan raised corporate tax rates and they’re less now? I don’t go along with the more tax cuts for business crowd. We know, irrefutably, that a good chunk of those tax cuts just end up in the bank accounts of CEO’s and upper management. There isn’t an investment back in the workers or the plants or innovative new product lines.
Tax cuts for business should be narrowly targeted to actions that represent an investment in economic growth for the business and, thus, the nation. And I will say that’s what the administration keeps suggesting but the GOP wants across the board tax cuts which are too often counter productive.
Regulations need to be streamlined, I agree with that. That will be a very hard task, almost like zero-base budgeting, but with regulations. Eliminate conflicting regs and overlapping jurisdictions. It’s doable, but not easy.
Businesses ship jobs overseas because they can, and guess what, we’re still giving them tax breaks for doing so! The Senate killed the legislation which would have ended tax breaks for outsourcing jobs … it may have been a good idea at some point, but that tax break should’ve been ended long ago.
The environment IS friendly, that’s why CEO/management compensation is skyrocketing and businesses are sitting on piles of cash trying to figure out what to do with it to avoid taxes. They’re buying back their own stock shares, cause that’s subject only to the 15 percent capital gains tax.
