Al Gore, Yassir Arafat, Prez Obama…. I mean come on. Not a real prize for real accomplishment. It’s basically “hey here’s a million bux for being a symbol for something liberal.”

DCB Rules of the Workplace
1. Nobody “gives” anybody a job. A job is, at best, a fair exchange.
2. If you want to succeed at your job, you have to give more than they are paying you for. It’s painful and unfortunate, but that is the way it works.
3. No matter how angry your employer gets when you demand more compensation or a promotion, when the smoke clears they respect you all the more and forget all about being angry. (Of course this one only works if you are worth what you are demanding)
whoa there’s a million dollar prize for the nobel peace prize? can anyone try out for that?

M4L, my email is going wonky…I’m still trying to get it up and running again. May take a while to reply.
Etson, that is EXACTLY it. And I think it is intellectually dishonest. The regulators used as an ARGUMENT for limiting speculative participation and that is NOT the reason prices went up. Limited capacity at an explosive time in market demand (exacerbated by easy money) was the reason.
I am feeling unusually hotheaded today. Probably not a good idea to post on the OT! 🙂
Have a good weekend everybody.
snappy, emailed you back
Yeah denton but at least you need to write a good book to get the lit prize. You have to actually accomplish something. The peace prize is given out to people who stand for ideas that the committee agrees with.

Because they blame the growth of your industry for rising prices, dona. Nothing to do with the market structure itself, just frustration & a desire for a particular outcome.
