There was time when American companies provided everyone with pensions, when the idea of moving a company to Communist China was akin to treason, and when huge profits were shared with employees. Those days are gone. In 1970 CEOs took in 9% of income raised in the country, today it is 24%. CEOs sold America when capitalism became more important than democracy and nationalism, and it's time as the premier power in the world is soon going to end because of this. All that, because a bunch of people wanted to make quick buck. | ||

I think Jesus would favor people being taken care of when they are hurt over people living in castles and raking in the excess. He wanted people who were richer to be philanthropic and treat them equally. He also implied it would be difficult for this to ever happen due to greed  | ||

People who think that not buying pizza is going to do anything to the CEOs is pretty crazy. Your not buying _his_ pizza, but you still presumably buying somebody's else pizza. that somebody else will need a workforce commensurate to the orders, so they will be hiring... but that somebody else already has a CEO so they won't be hiring him. Beside, in this country, where the supreme court has rule that money is 'speech', consolidating the $1 = 1 vote rule, how you spend your $s is the only political power you have left... so you should use it wisely. PS: I bought a pizza, because 1/ I want to support TL and e-sport 2/ PJ's comment were less crazy and more nuanced than the headline reported, and 3/ that could have been much, much worse; like Domino's. | ||

Something is wrong in the universe. Getting a bit anxious, with very complex math, 10/7 means that it needs to have moved 1 tier by now :/ Hopefully the yanks massacre some pizzas over the weekend to make up for it... :/ | ||

Something is wrong in the universe. It seems the chart isn't constantly updating. On May 22 2013 02:25 TheMango wrote: There was a post on reddit from EG.LectR that said the numbers/tier progress would be updated later today. He implied that the volume so far was huge by saying 'we need to create more tiers' or something to that effect. Would be nice if the progress was realtime, but I doubt that realistic. They (EG/TL/Root) probably get a daily update from PJ and have to manually edit the progress bars. Quoted from here. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=413580¤tpage=16 | ||
