When he was a college student, Bank of America, Citibank, etc. were happy to give him working tax credit calculator cards that has maximum credit levels of $10,000 (he was a student an in no way could ever qualify for this type of line of credit). He soon maxed out all of his cards, thanks principally to gambling debts. I'm pleased that the DOJ has cracked down on these thieves, but they need to go after the enablers, namely the financial institutions that facilitate Read More...]]> http://www.ayongshushu.com/my-analysis-on-u.s.-alleges-full-tilt-poker-was-ponzi-scheme/feed/ 0 http://www.ayongshushu.com/a-response-to-henninger-the-disappearing-recovery/ http://www.ayongshushu.com/a-response-to-henninger-the-disappearing-recovery/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:33:50 +0000 admin http://www.ayongshushu.com/a-response-to-henninger-the-disappearing-recovery/ The Obama big government move is the key reason for our decline. It is classic Chicago politics... dish out the goodies in exchange for loyalty. When all the job growth is in the Government sector, and they are Unionized Democrats, then all benefits are dolled out to the established order. No startup business ideas or small business will have a chance. Only graduates of 'certain' schools will get those government jobs, and only 'certain' professors will be allowed to teach at those schools.

Look at the hiring process which has been used as primary evidence of the lack of quality entry level in India....AND the looming crisis for the economy. If this is how 24/7 hires and this is how their HR function views talent on parade, it is sad. My questions: 1. Is this how an HR function addresses the challenges of quality entry level talent? By going to other countries? At what cost to the society and the shareholders? 2.

(Note: I do not approve of TBTF). If there is a serious problem with the 787 -- and it appears management has bet the company on this one -- the feds will have to step in and bail them out. You'll get a story line about national defense, security, importance of education of keeping jobs, importance of Boeing to exports / balance of payments, etc. And then there are the congress-critters (Rs and Ds): the Washington state, SC, Illinois and Kansas Read More...]]> http://www.ayongshushu.com/thoughts-on-at-boeing-dreamliner-fix-reveals-new-wrinkle/feed/ 0 http://www.ayongshushu.com/my-take-on-for-deloitte-ceo-hard-economic-times-are-nothing-new/ http://www.ayongshushu.com/my-take-on-for-deloitte-ceo-hard-economic-times-are-nothing-new/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:25:04 +0000 admin http://www.ayongshushu.com/my-take-on-for-deloitte-ceo-hard-economic-times-are-nothing-new/ I worked for The Firm in the early 1980s, managing organizational change a small consulting practice in the Midwest. It was a huge learning experience for me as I had to be a jack-of-all-trades and not just the computer nerd I was then. I did audit support, computer simulations, executive assessments, organizational design, efficiency studies, Wow! Deloitte only had a few hundred partners then and struggled with marketing and product management (not a long suit for accountants).

If the send down of a highly paid but poor performing player helps the development team's performance and frees up salary cap then the team benefits well and the player has incentive to improve his game. It also gives a chance to see how the kids in the system play on the major league level. I think the NY Islanders are benefiting currently from that scenario as Read More...]]> http://www.ayongshushu.com/criticism-on-nhls-salary/feed/ 0 http://www.ayongshushu.com/my-analysis-on-bad-call-firing-yahoo-ceo-bartz-by-phone/ http://www.ayongshushu.com/my-analysis-on-bad-call-firing-yahoo-ceo-bartz-by-phone/#comments Wed, 14 Mar 2012 18:54:05 +0000 admin http://www.ayongshushu.com/my-analysis-on-bad-call-firing-yahoo-ceo-bartz-by-phone/ The bigger issue for Yahoo! is how to develop personality to hire a CEO. Carol Bartz may have been a 'default' choice for CEO after several preferred candidates turned them down. Steve Jobs has an equally prickly personality, but he's earned respect from Apple's technical and marketing staff based on his past successes. I don't think Bartz had earned the same credibility to offset her personality shortcomings . What Yahoo! needs in large doses right now is a credible leader who can inspire its employees Read More...]]> http://www.ayongshushu.com/my-analysis-on-bad-call-firing-yahoo-ceo-bartz-by-phone/feed/ 0 http://www.ayongshushu.com/views-on-tech-revival-lifts-silicon-valley/ http://www.ayongshushu.com/views-on-tech-revival-lifts-silicon-valley/#comments Tue, 13 Mar 2012 19:10:21 +0000 admin http://www.ayongshushu.com/views-on-tech-revival-lifts-silicon-valley/ You might say the same thing about individuals starting businesses. Why would an individual put their life on the line for a business that the stats show will likely fail within 5 years? The answer to both questions is the same. Some small businesses are wildly successful, as are venture investments. In both cases, the investors/top entrepreneurs hope to be on the good end of the return volatility. Whatever the reason, thank goodness they do take the risk--plenty of great companies were created and Read More...]]> http://www.ayongshushu.com/views-on-tech-revival-lifts-silicon-valley/feed/ 0 http://www.ayongshushu.com/commentary-on-court-keeps-gay-weddings-on-hold/ http://www.ayongshushu.com/commentary-on-court-keeps-gay-weddings-on-hold/#comments Tue, 13 Mar 2012 19:01:27 +0000 admin http://www.ayongshushu.com/commentary-on-court-keeps-gay-weddings-on-hold/ Charles: The difference between interracial marriage and homosexual marriage is clear: One leads to procreation and is compatible with the laws of nature, the other does not. No culture or society has long survived this blatant attack against the basic structure of the family. It matters not what sociologists say or write, they have absolutely know interest in norms, the truth and history. They want to thrust their experiments on the rest of us... just like the other ideas they've put forth: 1.
