You don't read very well: "First, they provide a degree of compensation/savings flexibility: the employee gets to choose whether to liquidate the holding, or to keep it as part of a larger savings and retirement plan. " With stock compensation they have flexibility and options. Those individuals who are young people, or who are frugal, get a massive long and medium term advantage from equity positions as part of a compensation package; while allowing for those who simply "want the money now" to do that as well. But hey, you go on and celebrate refining everything down to the lowest common denominator, and removing real benefits that many people were able to take advantage of for their long term financial health, in favor of the ease of a non-sense liberal talking point that doesn't actually help anyone. Again, it's adorable watching you blather about things you have absolutely zero understanding of. Carry on.

This is going to be even better when Ginsburg gets replaced, and then again when Breyer goes (he's only five years younger than Gisnburg). Combine that with a voluntary retirement for Thomas, and President Trump will get to nominate five Justices, securing a 7-2 Court for the next 20 years.

So much stupid in this post it's hard to figure out where to start. Stock options are very desirable. First, they provide a degree of compensation/savings flexibility: the employee gets to choose whether to liquidate the holding, or to keep it as part of a larger savings and retirement plan. Second, they provide massive potential for growth, which means increased earnings. Five years ago on today's date Amazon was trading at around $970/share. Today, it's twice that. Third, it ties general employee compensation to executive compensation. Fourth, if managed properly it can provide a slew of tax benefits, again resulting in increased compensation. Employee stock compensation, structured as Amazon used to do, helped to provide lower level employees with a path upwards; but through the short sighted lens of 21st century liberalism and immediate gratification culture, that has been removed and replaced with an annual salary of $31k, and a lack of mobility. But that's fine, you go on and keep running your mouth, pretending you know what you're talking about. It's adorable.

When did Brett Kavanaugh say that he did? He denied all the allegations unequivocally. Also, I'm 100% sure you're a rapist. Prove you aren't.

I thought the exact same thing.

All this demonstrates is that you don't know how to evaluate compensation plans or employee bargaining power. Losing stock options is MASSIVE.

Kathy isn't going to like it when the actual sexual predators start getting rounded up.

Understood completely, and I'm with you on that.

The truth is that once everything is out in the open, the left has a very big decision to make. They are going to decide if the United States is going to remain a functioning democratic republic where competing ideas are given voice through a peaceful political process under which they don't always win, and will have learn to accept that truth in the interests of living together in harmony and prosperity. If they cannot agree to do so, then there is no reason to keep this nation bound together.

These are people who have amply demonstrated that they do not belong anywhere near seats of power.

Sounds about right.

The slogan adorning the cover of the magazine she established was "Birth Control: To Create a Race of Thoroughbreds", she presented to the KKK, and established her clinics in nearly exclusively black neighborhoods. She incessantly called for "racial health" and "race improvement", and openly maligned the "race of degenerates" She said things like "Eugenics … is the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political, and social problems" in interviews, and "We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social service backgrounds and with engaging personalities ... We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population." in letters.

"While threats against senators have become a routine occurrence in the Trump administration, some members of Congress say the behavior has become shocking and even dangerous over the last several weeks. "The level of intensity is probably unlike anything I've seen in three and a half years," Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) told local D.C. media. Just this past week, several Republican senators, including Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Andy Harris (R-MD) have found themselves in heated confrontations with anti-Kavanaugh protesters. Harris was reportedly physically assaulted as he tried to shut the door on protesters in the hallway outside his office." Again, this was all predicted. This is on you, liberals. This is your fault. We are starting to see political violence in the streets, and there's no way to put the genie back in the bottle. There will be blood now. Remember that you started this when you start burying your dead.

Heitkamp has seen the end of her run on the Hill. She's behind in a close race as is. This slams the door.

That is absolutely disgusting.

Absolutely not. The President absolutely should not, should never, allow for this sort of character assassination of a good man as a political hit job and act the gentleman while his political enemies attempt to burn the world down. The sort of politics has gotten us here, and is not a solution. The Democrats game is to act unconscionably, and then to blame others for the tone. That time is done. The Democrats have reaped the whirlwind, and now they will die in it, and deservedly so. Dr. Christine Ford is a liar, and she should be treated as a liar. She should be prosecuted for perjuring herself before the Senate, and thrown in jail, as should everyone else associated with this sham.

I had a feeling that you wouldn't, which is why I did.

Is this an argument that because Democrats assassinated the character of Judge Kavanaugh, and intentionally destroyed the lies of him and his family, based on what they knew were lies that they themselves perpetrated, that Brett Kavanaugh is not qualified for the bench? What an incredibly ****ty and condescending thing to say to another person. !@#$ you.

What Bezos did was eliminate stock options and bonuses to pay for it. His employees get less now. And liberals are celebrating this.

I notice you didn't respond to the post in which I corrected your idiocy. But hey, I assume you're talking about the same intelligence agencies, literally the same people, who pushed the yellow cake non-sense to foist us into war in Iraq. The same intelligence agencies which, time and time again, actively work to overthrow democratic governments around the world, run weapons to terrorist organizations, and run the global heroin trade? Those are the guys we should trust?

This is bull ****. The Democrats in the Senate (and elsewhere) are legitimizing a process of character assassination as politics. A good man and his family have been destroyed, intentionally, by lies. The people perpetrating these lies need to, and hopefully will, be prosecuted, including Dr. Ford. They must not, under any circumstances, be treated with kid gloves. What the Democrats are doing is unacceptable, and will lead to violence in our streets. It has already directly led to two assassination attempts and the assault of a member of Congress.

I struggle with this as well. If someone says they identify as an African-American (which is different from "black", as black people from, let's say England, are not African-American) rather than simply American, then they differentiate themselves from other Americans in an intentional and ongoing way. This serves to create an ongoing divide that cannot possibly be bridged as a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. Likewise, when someone says they identify primarily as a "black man", they have told me that they first identify as black, and then as a man. This is fundamentally different than identifying first as a man who happens to be black. This is a statement that their "blackness" is more central to them than their masculinity or their humanity; and if they identify that way, they invite others to identify them that way as well. The sooner we can get to a point where we all primarily identify as "man" (as in human), and American rather than some modified hypenation, the better off we'll be.
