Qualcomm traveling Wall Street's road
THANK you! I'd much prefer to credit Wilde than that, that, ENGLISHMAN! As Wilde once said of fox hunters, ". . . the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable." A beautiful 25-year-old recently turned me on to Wilde's "De Profundis" as the one read that changed her life. How and why I never read it, or, for that matter, ALL of Wilde's work after reading "The Picture of Dorian Grey," is an indictment of my intellect. "Out of the mouths of babes."

It's not that I didn't want money; it's that I put the work first instead of the money. I would like to have "made" more, but I got enough. Get the distinction?— July 24, 2015 9:15 a.m.

Don Bauder July 23, 2015 @ 7:36 p.m. And the middle class, remember, is the basic market for consumer-oriented companies. . . . . . . Friedman also said that a strong middle class was essential to a functioning economy. Best, Don Bauder The consumer is the Golden Goose. Once it's strangled, no more eggs for the 1 percent's basket. That there is my twisted view anyhow.— July 23, 2015 9:33 p.m.

I claim that he said it. If he didn't, somebody should have. Here's a true story: At a Chataqua party at the Algonquin Hotel, Sir James Agate waddled up to a group that included John Mason Brown. "Tell me Brown," said Agate, "how is it that you Americans, delightful individually, taken collectively, add up to a bunch of twerps?" "Tell me Agate," said Brown, "how is it that with you British, the converse is the case?"— July 23, 2015 9:19 p.m.

I built my business up with my own, earned money, period. I did not do it for money; the money just came because "the market" wanted what I had to sell. Period. No games.— July 23, 2015 9:11 p.m.

Provided she/he is not pfishing. Not even a website? Why not? It could be anybody. I guess I come from the generation that thought one should introduce oneself before requesting information from others. Maybe it's on the level; maybe it's bs.— July 23, 2015 9:01 p.m.

Liquid loophole?
Continued from previous post: In other words, enough for any landscaping you desire, at the basic luxury consumption level. Indoor use is less than outdoor use (according to the authorities), so that would add a bit of additional water for the outside, giving anyone a comfortable margin for errorwatering. Any use above that amount would set off a water-rate increase formula with a ceiling (of, say, 200 percent?) that would fund the reward of those using less than their basic allocation. If this level, in any given state of water supply would be excessive, the allocation level will shift accordingly. This same kind of formula applies to agriculture. Farmers and industrial agriculture corporations would not be overcharged unless they wasted water in a seasonal cycle, and they could regain their waste penalty by not irrigating at all if they kept their fallow fields in a non-irrigated state but grew crops (wildflower seed or ?) that required no irrigation but kept the soil from blowing away in dust "storms." Not perfect equity, perhaps, but far more equitable than the present system, and far more objective.— July 23, 2015 7:06 p.m.
