Boy gets Christmas present of his dreams: a new toilet

Dustin Kruse turned 4 in September. He has toy binoculars, a gumball machine, two toy workbenches, a set of six metric wrenches - real ones - a plastic pterodactyl that eats stuff and a little metal box where he keeps two tubes of Chapstick. He had three, but one melted. His well-stuffed bookshelf includes "The Cat in the Hat," "Green Eggs and Ham," "Pooh's Grand Adventure," "Albert the Bear" and his current favorite, "Lemonade With a Twist." He can use a tape measure to figure out how tall a Lego tower is, chalk a pool cue, read like a second-...

What If Barack Obama And Paul Krugman Ran A Business
Posted by admin / Under Business License
This winter has brought a useful tutorial on capitalism courtesy of the media, the Democratic party and President Obama. They have illustrated for us how the depredations of profit-seekers crush American aspirations. We will be hearing much more about how Mitt Romney and his private-equity buddies at Bain Capital bought up companies and began searching for ways to return them to profitability. This might mean laying off unneeded workers, outsourcing or automating jobs. As the cliche has it, these smarty-pants consultants in their pinstripe suits are given to “ruthlessly wringing out inefficiencies,” workers be damned. Jobs — entire industries! —...

The GOP's Working Class Muddle (Santorum, Romney and class-warfare)
Posted by admin / Under Business License
< snip > ..... If Republicans have an opening this year, it is with the white working class, a crowd the Democratic Party has been hemorrhaging for decades. Barack Obama did better than John Kerry or Al Gore with these voters, though even he earned just 43% of their vote. ..... < snip > ..... The white working class will make up as much as 55% of the vote in states like Ohio and Pennsylvania. ..... < snip > ..... And so at the heart of the Santorum agenda are policies designed to give special handouts to the working class,...

More job candidates are being hired on the basis of what shows up on their social network pages, versus those one or two sheets of paper that are either emailed or snail-mailed into human resource departments.

Walker red-tape cutting board is all business in WI
Posted by admin / Under Business License
MADISON — For regulation reform crusaders, a key battle in the red tape war was fought at the home of a name-brand furniture manufacturer in western Wisconsin. Ashley Furniture went through what some critics describe as an unnecessary regulation dance over wetlands as it moved to complete a massive factory expansion in Arcardia. “When they moved forward to get a permit to build a warehouse, they were told (the 13.5 acres) was a wetland,” recalled Dick Granchalek, president of the La Crosse Area Chamber of Commerce. “For an extended period of years, they were parking their semis on this property,...

Carnival Fails Crisis 101 in Costa Response
Posted by admin / Under Business License
With bodies still trapped inside Costa Concordia’s underwater tomb, Carnival (CCL: 30.48, 0.00, 0.00%) now finds itself at the heart of scrutiny only likely to rise along with the death toll. Carnival’s worst-ever wreck and one of the most high-profile incidents since the Titanic sank 100 years ago, it’s hard to imagine such a massive company blaming the disaster on a single person -- even if he did abandon ship early and steer a little too close to shore. Even worse, while Carnival has vehemently denied earlier reports that it would offer survivors a 30% discount off future cruises, instead...

Gingrich's Secret Weapon: Newt Inc.
Posted by admin / Under Business License
In the 13 years since he suffered a string of political setbacks and quit the third most powerful job in Washington, Newt Gingrich has been busily laying the foundation for a comeback to an even grander perch. On any given day, the former Speaker of the House can be found on a chartered jet headed to Iowa to train future GOP candidates through his American Solutions group, or in Phoenix discussing ways to lower health-care costs with drug makers through his for-profit Center for Health Transformation. He might also be in Philadelphia, narrating a film produced by Gingrich Productions, or...

Topinka: Illinois’ Unpaid Bill Crisis Just Keeps Getting Worse
Posted by admin / Under Business License
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (CBS) — Illinois keeps falling farther behind on its debt. As WBBM Newsradio’s Regine Schlesinger reports, officially, the state has a backlog of more than $4.25 billion in unpaid bills. LISTEN: WBBM Newsradio’s Regine Schlesinger reports (listen at link) But Illinois State Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka says when one factors in other bills, the figure is closer to around $8.5 billion. Those other outstanding bills include tax refunds, employee health insurance, and bills that have not yet reached her desk. Topinka says this is extremely disappointing, since a year ago, the state sharply increased income taxes (by 67...

The Economy Creates and Destroys Jobs Every Year (But most people don't realize this)
Posted by admin / Under Business License
There's no specific, reliable number for the jobs that Mitt Romney supposedly destroyed and created during his tenure at Bain Capital, the private equity firm that he headed between 1984 and 1998. But one thing is sure-whatever jobs were lost in companies acquired by Bain, or shut down in a few cases, they were a tiny fraction of job destruction and creation in the American economy as a whole. Most people don't know that the economy destroys and creates millions of jobs every year. A monthly survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics captures the details. Called the Job Openings...

Gallup: Americans Continue to Turn Their Backs on Big Business and Big Government
Posted by admin / Under Business License
Americans are unusually dissatisfied with big government and big business. There is irony in that, because many of the solutions to major problems in the U.S. will have to come from these two sectors. Americans must rely on the organizations with which they are most unhappy, if the current economic and deficit troubles are to be resolved.A new Gallup poll shows that: Americans’ satisfaction with the size and power of the federal government is at a record-low 29% and their satisfaction with the size and influence of major corporations remains near the all-time low at 30% — making both highly...
