Awesome! Good story in the first comment there as well.

It's good to see that there are still some decent people out there.

And that is why we watch the Olympics: Canadian coach gives spare xcountry ski to Russian, who was determined to finish his race. #Sochi2014

kellogs here in london.. ford in talbotville.

over and over and over.

companies work for their share holders and investors, if they do not provide adequate returns on their products the people who have stock in the company pull out and the company goes bankrupt.

what needs to be done.. is a cap on how much of the profit can go back to the share holder.. set for all stock everywhere.

anything over that cap goes back to the workers. the workers salary would be on a sliding scale from quarter to quarter. this also puts the onus on the employees to work efficiently and cost effectively.. which would be a deterrent for senior union workers who just float through their days.

this way the stake holders get their returns, and the employees can benefit from their hard work.. or suffer due to their own laziness.

dozzer for prime minister?

the rich (frank)s of this world only care about their own money and (frank)ing everyone over if it means more for them.

I think the world needs to meditate and work on their charkras. The east was right all along and science is starting to prove that (quantum levels).

We're too busy covering up messes instead of fixing them.


Probably took that too far this morning haha it's my cold i swear

I wish our whole planet could be like this. We spend 50 bil on olympics, yet people starve all over the world. We could have solved that. I understand why we didn't but its just sad..

it still boils down to investment.

there is simply no way you can maiintain the same profit margin with north american labour as you can with overseas labour.

and these companies are answerable to investors who pull out and invest elsewhere if its more lucrative.

its the basic structure of the north american economy.. its flawed.

Reducing corporate tax rate to zero would be a phenomenal start.

Right off the top they'd be saving truckloads and would be much more enticing for them to stay.

This guy!

Goes back down to the very essence of who you are.

The most basic example I can think of since we're on hockey buzz is... That energy you feel when you walk into the ACC and what momentum is.. Consciousness is more powerful than we believe.

One lesson from Olympics so far - the Sedins are the only two ugly Swedes in the country.

Similar thing happened last Olympics as well with Sarah Renner - she broke a ski pole while in the lead and an opposing coach gave her one and Renner still won the silver. That's what it's all about.

Fox news and Americans heads would explode. You'd be labelled as a commie 10 times over! sharing profits with "workers"...capping profit! SACRILEGIOUS!

Well , at least we figured out where the BONG WATER went

Are you (frank)ing high ?

If you're going to cap the gains , I guess you are going to cap the losses too ?

Employees should love getting losses deducted from their paychecks

over 60% of americans consider themselves independents, yet there is like 1% independent representation.

DaFuq?

Most independents don't vote. It's sad.
