We’ve got to make clear, here, that a foreclosure hurts every American,” he told CNN.
No, it doesn’t.
Foreclosures are a natural way of the system healing itself. If you drink too much, a hangover is the body’s way of trying to return to normal.

The car companies want us to pour money down a rathole. I fully expect that to happen, as the administration does not have the guts to say ‘NO’. The companies threaten liquidation if they don’t get the cash. I think that’s fine. Let them go. If we are worried about unemployment, let’s just give the [...]

This could be a huge story: an online software provider decides to buy 40,000 licenses. This is the kind of story that propels a small company towards an IPO.
Webguild.com, a website with 73,000 unique visitors per month, put up an article that dumps on Google, saying that GE picked a competitor’s product.

In previous posts I had written about how the electric car company Tesla’s choice to manufacture its own cars in San Jose, CA was a huge mistake. I had also written about how the decision by the City of San Jose to give Tesla all sorts of freebies was a dumb idea.
