Weather is Here, Wish You Were Fine

AITOOW who is disappointed (but not surprised) that the next generation prefers social media sites that predominantly allow them to taunt? It's a culture of non-stop self-aggrandizement. Where are all the bitter Irish townies nowadays? They would have slapped down these superficial boasters for big timing. Not to say that many of their elders aren't guilty of the same mindless braggadocio. But, at least they... Aww hell they're just as pretentious. Maybe we need a site that ranks people like a tennis ladder. You put in what you are doing and it ranks who is winning at life.

Lazy Fare

AITOOW thinks the laissez-faire attitude of most Millennias is a reflection of their lackadaisical attitude rather than a surplus of tolerance? They just refuse to to be bothered with choosing let alone defending a position. They have never had to fight for anything in their lives and just can't conceive of why you would want to.

Lead Us Not

AITOOW thinks it is illegitimate to condemn someone for giving into a temptation that society has concluded they are too irrelevant to participate in? How many owe their high moral authority to such obscurity?

On The Take

AITOOW wonders how accurate the "shrinkage" numbers that retailers proclaim are? Is it just a ploy to excuse higher pricing? How much is really retailers just taking the max allowance from the manufacturer as a business strategy? How much is a manager giving away mispriced items or items that are not ringing up properly? How much is employee theft? I think the number cited is erroneous and makes it seem like we live in a society of shoplifters.

Washington Math

AITOOW can't believe no one has defended the sequester cuts with arguments about the Hurricane Sandy spend and the billions in pork projects that the government instituted in the fiscal cliff agreement? Those more than offset the infinitesimal "cuts".

The Bottom Line

AITOOW thinks the CEO of Yahoo banned tele-commuting as a ploy to get workers to self-terminate? Especially those who have less flexible work schedules (ie older) or use more benefits (ie older). I'll bet they make more money on average too.

Shooting Fish In A Container

AITOOW thinks that either two bites or two shots at the apple makes sense? I originally thought some addled brained sports bloviator was wrong when he mouthed "two shots" at the apple, but maybe it works. Two shots ala William Tell.
