Oh god that’s a miserable statement.
Probably the biggest problem with cars in cities is that they require huge amounts of land for storage (a.k.a. parking). Here is a photo of Midtown Atlanta between 5th street and 12th street. This is one of the densest and most pedestrian-friendly ares in the entire state of Georgia. The red blocks indicate parcels of land that are 100% dedicated to car storage.

Hmmm. Need to see this gang live.
Garrett was onto this one. Good call.
“That is assuming revenues again grow. If they don’t, firms could actually be handcuffed on pay. In the face of further revenue declines, a firm could find itself saddled with large accruals for deferred compensation, along with a higher, fixed total for base salary and benefits. The choice may then be between slashing current-year incentive pay or letting the closely watched compensation-to-revenue ratio spike.”

Does anyone really think banking revenues are going to go up substantially in the next 5 years? What is bigger than a global real estate bubble? Commodities? No other asset in existence today is as attractive to the public. If you can’t use the public then you need to rely on governments and that’s not going to work.
Banking is in a tough spot through this economic transition.

What I’m interested in is can the Internet make campaigning more efficient. The Internet just won the battle against traditional money based lobbying. Why can’t the Internet and this effort scale up to political campaigning? If it did that and campaigning was about the efficiency of how candidates utilize networks could you eliminate the power of cash to determine policy.
Now I recognize that this change creates a new set of elites, but these elites are operating in a transparent environment where they rise and fall based on their capacity to rally their networks. To me this was the another signal of change in how power is allocated and demonstrated and my expectation is that the efficiency of things will allow reputation to trump money as the key political mover.
Marco Arment has this exactly right. We may have beaten these variations of SOPA and PIPA, but the sad fact of that matter is that they — or something like them — will eventually pass.
Obviously, all things being equal, such bills should never pass. But all things aren’t equal. As with most things, this is actually all about money. The MPAA and the other content lobbies are going to continue to pump money into this until they get what they want.
And again, they will. Consider this: SOPA and PIPA came this close to passing with MPAA head Chris Assclown Dodd banned from direct lobbying. Why is he banned? Because there’s a law that requires politicians to be two years out of office before they can lobby.
Dodd vacated his U.S. Senate seat on January 3, 2011. In a year, he’ll be able lobby all he wants. He’ll be able to directly buy the support of all his former colleagues. He spent 36 years in Washington as both a Senator and Congressman. You think that doesn’t matter? He’s going to be the best lobbyist ever. Which is exactly why the MPAA picked him.
Arment’s hope that people stop supporting the MPAA by stopping watching films clearly isn’t going to happen. But the idea of supporting campaign finance reform to eliminate bullshit lobbying is a good one.

Saw these guys last night at Cake Shop with DWard. Really enjoying their sound. Also like the fact that I routinely dominate the lead singer in hoops.
