The taxation policy could ultimately extend to the ...

Update to the story below as of 1720h PST: The San Jose Mercury News is reporting that with 9800 ballots remaining, Measure B has passed the 66.67 percent mark. The ballot initiative to fund a BART extension to San Jose may have squeaked by, KNTV was reporting this afternoon. Though initial balloting showed the measure falling short of the required two-thirds majority, mail-in ballots are turning the tide. With 17,000 of 42,000 mail-in ballots still ...

Terry Yang tritt als Chef von Yahoo, der bekannten Helfer der chinesischen Mörder, zurück. Nicht, weil die Firma in Sachen Menschenrechte die niedrigste Existenzform der Internetfirmen ist, sondern weil die Werbedeals mit Google oder Microsoft nicht funktioniert haben. Es geht allen um Werbung. Nicht darum, wie toll Flickr ist, ob Yahoo 360° gescheitert ist, ob Yahoo bei seinen verkauften Suchabfragen vorankommt. Es geht einfach darum, dass Yahoo keinen Weg findet, seine diversen Klicks auf diversen ...

I commend Judy Shelton for her insightful op-ed piece, “Stable Money is Key - How the G-20 can rebuild the ‘capitalism of the future.’” It was published in this morning’s Wall Street Journal, a day ahead of “The G20 Summit on Financial Markets and the World Economy.” As Ms. Shelton noted: “One thing is guaranteed: Most attendees will take the view that Wall Street greed and inadequate regulatory oversight by U.S. authorities caused the global ...

Writing in The Mediashift Idea Lab on pbs.org, David Sasaki wins the award for the longest argument yet in favor of government funding of the failing journalism business. I try not to get into outright arguments here, but this seems to me to be a really, really bad idea. You can’t micro-manage every single industry with bailouts and new taxes to support them. If US automakers, for instance, can’t build cars that people want, then ...Shared by Dan (355)Contribute commentnaked capitalism (217) permalink
