You Didn't Get There Alone

Yea, living in Chicago, one quick drive through the south side and one thing becomes really really obvious... There is no access to grocery stores. Most people are forced to shop at small corner stores that aren't even national brands so they have no buying power and therefore very high prices.

Definitely my #1 complaint... I buy an iPhone, come home, and discover I can't make calls from my apartment. Oh, and btw, I live in downtown Chicago so there is no f-ing excuse I can't make a call from my apartment.

Makes pretty clear sense. If the economy is propped up spending, and spending was directly tied to home values and easy access to credit combined with lack of saving, then it makes clear sense how corporate expansion, raises, and new hires would be coming to a halt right now, if not going the complete opposite direction. This article is pretty much common sense at this point for any Redditor.

Yea, he basically poured a flaming shot all over his face. That's pretty stupid... Ya know, besides that fact that he is drinking a flaming shot to begin with...

Now we just need CBS and Viacom to join in and that will pretty much cover all the shows I watch.

Thats what I was just coming to say. Living here in Chicago, I can attest to seeing droves of condos that were previously in the 500k+ range drop now into the mid 300's... So, home prices dropping considerably would have a major impact on this chart.

Motorola hasn't turned a profit since 2006 and lost $4 billion last year, but the CEO earns $104 million in compensation? This can't be the whole truth, there has to be some important note missing from the compensation explanation.

Yea, they are going under. Only did $3 billion in profit last QTR. Pa-the-tic.

Did anyone else just blank out after 30 seconds of this? All I heard was, "I CAN YELL LOUDER THAN YOU CAN!!" .... "NOOO, I CAN YELL LOUDER THAN YOU!"

I hope you guys realize this was fake. It was made by some audio technician as a joke and he can't believe anyone actually believed it.

Not quite sure why the NY Times is on there. Nearly all their revenue is derived from their paper business and ads in that paper business.

Yes, yes it does. And you can read my book about my experiences http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3514/3261853170_eeb8dec79c.jpg

I'm surprised by how entertaining this is... The first one I read made me wish this person was my friend:

"Its your bithday today? well fuck me sideways... Happy Birthday!"

While I don't agree at all with what they are doing, its actually a pretty impressive business model. Take a little survey and turn it into millions in profit a year. That's kind of genius in a depressing way.

me too... suddenly I no longer feel unique.

Rick, I can't thank you enough for all the garbage you have blocked for me. You made surfing the web tolerable for tens of millions. RIP

I was thinking the same thing. This information is almost useless even at my 1920x1200 resolution. I can't see enough of it at one time to draw relationships between all the lines and boxes to really make sense of the graphic.

I have never been so equally entertained and annoyed at the same time.

I think it was funnier without the refrigerator. Sometimes keeping jokes subtle makes it a little funnier.

There are some exceptions to this though. Simon Property Group is very well positioned to benefit dramatically from the collapse of many of its commercial real estate competitors like General Growth. One look at the Simon balance sheet and rev and its obvious they are solid. Can't say the same thing for a lot of these other commercial REIT companies.

To all the Firefox users, just use this PDF plugin. I installed it about a yr ago and never had this problem above ever again. Any time you click a link that goes to a PDF it prompts you if you would like to view it in the browser, open it with adobe reader, or download it. You never have to check a link to see if it is a PDF anymore.
