  1. he's right, majority of jobs can't be done from home

    seriously what percent of current jobs can be done remotely, without being outsourced?

    unless you talk about jobs which require the employee to sometimes go to work but not all the time, like 50%-75% telecommutable

    what is important for a company is cost reduction while keeping the same work flow, it's not like they are going to go; ah, no matter what we will hire US citizens, even if they cost more and can't get the work done as fast

  2. Its the OIL establishment, not the sources of energy that is causing problems. There is no one to reign in these bastards.

    Intraday movements in oil futures indicate that it is driven by speculation not demand. Look at thursday, oil dropped $2 for no reason and closed close to open. Do you think the world demand or supply changed in such a short time period?

    The best way to bring oil prices down is to provide an alternate investment to the traders; not alternate energy.

  4. Dad, my drug habit is making me broke. It's your fault though because everything would be OK if you just opened up my college fund to help me buy a little more crack.

  6. Just buy oil futures or OIL etf as a hedge
