Why 401(k) Retirement Plans Really Don't Work

This is particularly evident in the financial-investment-retirement world, where thousands of websites tell us how to do things and why, and why things work the way they do and how.

The Whites of Their Eyes

Then here’s the question. Why hasn’t the Obama campaign opened their Christmas gifts and made use of them? Why haven’t they gone after McCain’s “disgrace” remark regarding Social Security? Have they said anything at all about that? Why haven’t they hammered away at some of his statements and the inconsistencies surrounding them about carve-out privatization plans? Will they do anything with the implication identified above that McCain must be planning to cut benefits? Why so much silence from the Obama campaign on the Social Security issue?

" The case stems from Amazon's decision to make print-on-demand publishers use its ...

Elizabeth, What about Amazon using book sales as its loss leader? You know, where a company intentionally loses money on one or a multitude of products to lure in customers to sell others where they do make a profit? Perhaps Amazon should quit discounting books so heavily, if they are losing money--they have a choice, despite their decision not to leave POD publishers any.

What Does It Mean To Be an Open Source Author?

You get the drift. Oh my, now I had to start interacting with other folks! What was I to do? That started a (thankfully short) period of intense existential self-questioning. What was the purpose of this project? Why did I actually open-source it? I resolved this by deciding unilaterally that it would be a free contribution, for whomever wo
