Index fund companies are sort of though.

If vanguard causes trouble for the executive of an s and p 500 using their holdings in 401k accounts, how long before that company switches to principal to manage its 401k?

There's a lot of money in index funds.

There's also the model of build a reputation and then extract any value your name had.

I see that a lot too (especially with clothing and shoe companies).

Nearly 50% of stocks are held in retirement plans. It's not that the shareholders only care for the next dividend. It's that the shareholders are passive (as you also pointed out), or are one level removed (in index funds).

The fund managers don't want to rock the boat with the companies because the companies get to pick who manages their retirement accounts, so essentially the retirement accounts are yes votes and not ownership oversight.

The US is the second largest manufacturer in the world please nching above its weight in manufacturing. It manufactures about 1/8 of the stuff with 1/20 the global population.

It's behind china in raw numbers, but above per person (by about 50%).

Not jist execution for corporations, also "jail" time.

A corporation commits a crime, it doesn't get a slap on the wrist fine. It becomes a ward of the state for x amount of years (government assigns a board, no dividends for the shareholders, shares are locked and cannot be traded).

Which is worse in Norway?

Note: I don't worship Norway, but I do see it as a place where positive lessons could be learned and integrated.

Probably to watch a person fight the terminator and the predator.

People like spectacle.

WWE isn't for me, but it's incredibly popular, and I could see this becoming so too.

No. Opened on fewer than 1,000 sceens.

It's more that people want their money now and it takes time to verify. So there's a touch of arbitrage to be had being a market maker when people want to cash out 30 minutes early.

It's not fraud, it's taking advantage of gambling addiction.

Note. I didn't read the article, but it's known ther s time based arbitrage between an event and the official resolving of it.

I like xfce with the two panel layout a lot.

Reminds me of gnome 2 more than mint or cinnamon, and gnome 2 just felt right to me.

It seems possible to me that it could be the similarity of the current hardware to computers.

The PS3 and Xbox One were much less PC like than the current gen.

I sort of like it.

It's a easy way to make classic games with no ads or bullshit.

Just for my own use. It's easier than wading through the app store.

By classic I mean something like the ASCII robots game where you make them crash into each other (which I did and now have been playing).

Isn't Broadcom a public company, not a private equity fund?

So end neutrality on fiber? I don't like that at all.

I would think the first step is insurance companies backing out of insuring.

Is that happening?
