QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 11:53 AM) More specifically, the board, right? Not really. The board is elected by the stockholders to represent them.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 11:02 AM) Wal-Mart's CEO makes $26M or so. The company has 1.2 million US employees. If the CEO cuts his pay to $2M, that gives every employee in the company an extra $20 per year. It might seem like a nice gesture and might make the news, but the extra $20 per year isn't going to make a difference for employees. Now, that's just one example and there very well could be companies where the CEO salary could be cut enough to make a significant difference in the lives of employees, but you need to remember the context of the number of employees. Those numbers are misleading. So much of the compensation package is directly tied to stock performance. In the example of WMT, he only made $4 million in cash last year. If a CEO has a nice stock package, and gets a big bump in stock prices, their numbers look ridiculous.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 10:43 AM) Biggest problem in this country is the gap between executive pay and most people who work at a business. These failed CEO's make 100 million while the rest of a companies payroll can be less than that. Maybe not the biggest, but it is a legit issue, imo. And I'm all far capitalism, but some of what happens is just pure greed. Note: My exception to this rule is if you are a founder or led some huge massively profitable undertaking during your realm. In most cases, if you are taking on an existing big time corporation, yes, you are fully entitled to be paid and paid handsomely, but I draw the line somewhere. Some of the public company CEO payouts are just massive. There is a pretty straight forward answer to this. The CEO doesn't work for the employees, he works for the shareholders. Secondly, this issue really exploded after SOX when CEO disclosure was going to solve this problem, except all that did was publicly give other CEO's an easy list of landmarks and demands to give to their next company.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 11:29 AM) It sucks, right? Sox have a better team with better (& different) players, with a better pitcher, yet all I can think about is how they are gonna blow this game, because it's Minnesota. And it is Quintana, which means the offense sleeps tonight.

The CPS is a disaster, but the problem is no one wants to give any ground where the problems should be fixed. The biggest problem right now is that the schools do not reflect the loss of population in the City of Chicago, and the movement of people out of certain areas. They have schools that are at as little as 1/7th of their capacity. As of the start of school this year, 20 high schools were less than 1/3 filled. That insane. The neighborhoods don't want to lose their schools, and the teachers union doesn't want to lose the jobs, but the reality is there is a ton of money being absolutely wasted there. They have got to come up with a big picture plan to balance out schools and enrollment first. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-chic...1102-story.html

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 09:31 AM) I hear you, but you often had same response when any diagnosis of race baiting and racism in the GOP voter base existed, until this year has basically had the proud 30% show themselves in. And it's fair to bring up that sexist attitudes are a factor in peoples perception of Clinton without it applying to all or you - though I am pointedly saying that sexist attitudes reflect gregs main thrust of Hillary distrust. For Cruz to get the "maniac" label, he had to single handedly try to organize pushing the United States into a default and recession. Hillary gets the same treatment for basically just not being likeable. I can psychoanalyze the clintons all day, but at least a part of their worst behaviors have been a response to the absolute bats*** insane response the GOP had to losing the presidency after holding it for 24 years. That is where I disagree with you fully. She isn't getting "the same treatment". During this election cycle, the media has feasted on Donald Trump FAR more than any other candidate. This includes both right and left wing media. Hillary's treatment has no where near approached this level of detail and persistency. I would even say Cruz has gotten a much larger amount of negative attention. I have no doubt in this election cycle, BY FAR the Republican candidates have received a MUCH larger share of negative attention. As for the attention that Clinton has gotten, she is the leading candidate of the Democrats. She deserves an inordinate amount of scrutiny as her party's leader. That only makes sense. If Sanders continues his climb back into this race, that attention will swing towards him more and more. From the negative standpoint, those things have mainly come from the right wing media, and not the media as a whole. Finally the things that Clinton HAS gotten attention for have been well deserved. One theme has come up over and over again no matter what the issue has been. With the litany of both admitted and denied policy and decision making mistakes that Hillary Clinton has made, how are people supposed to believe that she will make the right decision in a moment of importance as President? This is an absolutely fair question when confronted with her record as a whole. Whether it is an attempt to hide corespondence from people on a private server, the "mistake" of the Iraq war, repeating that mistake in Libya, gay marriage, free trade, immigration, etc. This theme has largely been ignored by the press at large in favor of the minutia of the latest stupid thing that Donald Trump said. If she weren't such a legitimately flawed candidate, a hugely flawed candidate like Bernie Sanders wouldn't be sticking around and gaining ground.

Really that is crappiest of all for St Louis. They have the third best record in all of hockey, and get the Blackhawks as a reward.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 09:15 AM) Well, I don't necessarily know what Hillary is falling apart means, But considering Greg's actual comments so often due with her "entitlement", how she only cares about being president, her shrieking is annoying, etc, That someones critical opinons of a woman in power may be colored by sexist attitudes without them actually being a sexist person should be clear. I don't believe that everyone who dislikes Hillary clinton does so out of sexism. But there is a lot of baseline comments thrown out that are. And a lot of that has to do with her coming on the scene in the 90s where it was even more open to making very sexist comments and paint every action by her as "manipulative' "devious", etc, something that would not apply to a man. Peoples impressions of Clinton were drilled down 30 years ago, and the idea "that we know her" based off the information in that time period deserves to be called out. If you want to see a candidate so maniacally driven by naked ambition to be powerful, you'd be staring at Ted Cruz. But how often are you hearing the same adjectives toward him? I hear things like this all of the time pointed towards Donald Trump. Even his hair is talked about all of the time. Cruz is routinely painted as a maniac. Bill Clinton has always been painted as the master manipulator and deceiver, and that is well earned. While I won't deny that sexism is a factor for some people, and greg sure likes to put those kind of things forward, for most of us, that isn't the case.

This game screams a 2-1 loss for Quintana.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 10, 2016 -> 08:44 PM) They will have earned it. They were one of the more disrespected champions in quite some time last offseason. Congrats, I know how much this means to you. You always told us that that the Knicks , Heat , Cavs, Warriors were going to do this.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 10, 2016 -> 06:11 PM) It's probably not intentional sexism, but the entire persona that is Hillary Clinton has been born out of institutional sexism and misogyny in the media. Everything she does is scrutinized to an absurd extent. Could she have crazy wild hair, wag her fingers around, and bellow the way Bernie does without getting crucified? No, I'm not saying greg is sexist. I'm saying he's buying into the media-created persona that is built out of sexism. And those who are more inclined to believe that stuff, are probably more inclined to also hold (perhaps unintentionally or unmaliciously) sexist beliefs themselves. ETA: I'm pretty sure I recall greg commenting on her voice/"cackle"/etc in the past. And despite the hot mess that has become the Republican party, this is why I could never be a Democrat. Hillary isn't falling apart due to her candidacy, her "mistakes" and policy changes, or anything else that is her fault... nope, it is sexism.

That was ugly. Poor guy.
