A level playing field? Or scorched earth?

No Gravatar

So, is this a fairness issue- or one designed to augment the coffers of the states?  Many local vendors complain that their markets are jeopardized because they must charge sales tax, while the same products delivered from Amazon are tax-free.   Many states see the revenue potential from taxing Amazon (and other internet company) sales in their domains and salivate with glee.

A Celebration of Science?

No Gravatar

On the day before my birthday, something phenomenal happened. Leaders from the US Senate, the House, and scientists, researchers, University Presidents, and corporate CEO’s, along with a few other advisors, held a conference.  It was entitled “A Celebration of Science”.   (The website has since disappeared.  However, it has become an annual celebration- you can find events by search ‘celebration of science’.)

The Myths of CEO compensation

No Gravatar

I have been having debates with my friends and colleagues for years over executive pay. You, too, have heard me rail that there is no financial or business reason to allow an executive to receive compensation of 100, 200, or 500 times the average pay of the corporation s/he leads. When I was growing up, executive compensation rarely exceeded 10 times the average pay. I realize I am old- but this inflation is not only ridiculous, it’s as dangerous as that obtaining in pre-World War II Germany!
