Is it finally time to end tipping terror?

January 11, 2008 Business, Random Thoughts | 1 Comment

The argument in favor of tipping at restaurants is always an emotional appeal to support poor waitresses that make a pitiful $0.50 per hour slave wage, or whatever. One of my friends actually tried to convince me that if restaurants paid their employees more they would all go out of business — think of all the poor waitresses that would lose their livelihood! Bull shit.

Are you a sucker if your equity investments don’t pay dividends?

January 2, 2008 Economics, Random Thoughts | Leave a Comment

I recently came across this fantastic discussion with Peter Schiff from 2002. He accurately describes the economic conditions at the time and how he planned to profit from them. His commentary has proven to be remarkably prescient in light of the current state of the global economy.
