Views On “Drugs That Are as Smart as Our Diseases | Mind & Matter”
I have a twenty five year history promoting pharmaceuticals for multiple disease states. The more complex the disease or condition the medications are being researched & developed for the closer we look keeping safety & efficacy in mind, As science expands the more answers we (FDA) want and thus require from a new product. Financially, this is a death sentence for upcoming products new products and ideas from a cost basis. Psychotropic and pain More
Some Thoughts On “Obama Presses for New Taxes on Wealthy in Deficit Plan”
Free speech is over-rated and should be left to the professional pundits?
Countless people made rich by Berkshire should probably be looking to change their investment strategy and associations.
We are trying to shape the future, not dwell in the past successes of Berkshire - or Is Berkshire one of the Financial Stability Oversight & Control Committee too big to fail globally interconnected and systemically important new america favorites?

A Response To “‘Unleash Us’”
Let's say Buffett had a business that was deeply in debt, hemorhaging cash, losing market share and supporting large numbers of idle motivating employees.
What would the Oracle of Omaha do to turns things around? It's simple -- he would cut the commissions of the top 1% of salesmen who generate 50% of revenues and use the savings to keep the idle employees on the payroll. That would enourage the top salesmen to go out and win new business while More
Views On “Review & Outlook: Political Target Practice”
by the way Mr. Brock, is that car you insure with Progressive a Lada? That great U.S.S.R. product that shows the falicy of corporate team building activities supremacy by the government building a product that costs many times what an auto built by the decadent corporate oppression of the free market and oh, by the way, can't seem to make it out of town without a breakdown.
Yes it is truly horrendous Frank, that these oppressive corporations should More
Commentary On “Health Bill Faces Senate Heat”
Yes and No Jeff. When this ultimately hits the fan whose side do you think the military, law enforcement, et al., will be on? Peruse the net. Google will not bring up this dynamic but it's permeating out there. Use differing search engines to find for which I speak and yes sadly I believe we are getting to this point. I thank God my business is at an apex on an international job search level in the eyes of our buyer. I'm done fighting to keep folks More
Commentary On “O’Grady: Texans Against the War on Drugs”
As we saw when Prohibition ended, things organized neatly crime diversified into gambling, prostitution, and labor racketeering. We can expect the same to happen here.
As it turned out, these other rackets were not as lucrative as alcohol. It took some time, but eventually we were able to defeat organized crime in these areas as well.
The one thing that I am worried about is what do we do with all the abusers of the now legal drugs? Our nanny state More
Analysis On “H”
Hurd was an unmitigated disaster for HP. Apotheker was correct about the damage cause by Hurd's chainsaw tactics, but shouldn't have communicated it as he did, as it sounded like Obama blaming Bush.
The BoD were correct in firing Hurd as any other employee performance evaluation would have been fired for the same activities. In fact, he should have been fired at least a year earlier for rotten performance. Wall Street could not see how far behind More
My Analysis On “India Graduates Millions, but Too Few Are Fit to Hire”
Dear Wakjob, Good to see the effort for listing all the companies that got ruined because of India's resources behind (as per your information above). These companies can be listed.. But you cannot list all the companies that got closed in AMERICA due to the local talent on parade. Indian companies are doing lot of consultancy and that uses only brain power and they are good at it. Today, more than 30% of banking IT is dominated by Indians. Would More
Some Thoughts On “Toyota’s Total Recall”
?This will probably prove to be a smart move from a long term marketing standpoint, especially given the negative publicity regarding the problem(s). It demonstrates that the company is willing to take drastic action to rectify the situation, whether the cessation types of marketing production is justified - again marketing.
On the other hand, designing a gas pedal that can become stuck under PRODUCTION floor mats is just plain stupid! Definitely More
Analysis On “At Super Bowl, Many Ads Fail to Score”
I thought the SB was a family event but many of the commercials were offensive, with surpluses of sexual resume references, and deficits in humor and family entertainment value. It was sad, so much so that I think I'll be siding with the NFLPA during their upcoming CBA negotiations given it's apparent the NFL is not interested in their fans as much as they are about their wallets. Godell should be ashamed and he's got to go! Peter U would never More
