Open Question: Why is Chrysler sitting at the free money trough with Ford and GM?
(Fri, 03 Sep 2010 16:46:55 GMT)
Ford and GM are publicly traded companies and their stock is subject to impact average Americans and their retirement plans. I don't agree with a bail out, but I see why they are at the table begging. I can't believe no Senator or Representative in either of these trips to Washington asked Chrysler why they were there also. They are a private firm held by a private company that has plenty of money. If they need money shouldn't they just ask the parent company for it? Are we really going

Resolved Question: Feminists, why does ze patriarchy conspire to pay women at the top in business more than their male equals?
(Wed, 11 Aug 2010 16:56:34 GMT)
or is it more likely your organisation is conspiring to mislead you about the nature of reality for their own ends.
A Carnegie Mellon University study has concluded that women executives out-earn their male counterparts.
The study, which examined 16,000 executives over 14 years, found that women at the top of the business world bring in a bit more than men and are promoted at the same rate, countering the popular notion that women earn less than men for the same work.

I am currently putting away 20% (before tax) of my income into 3 different retirement plans (7% on 401K, another 7% on 457 plan and 6% on pension plan).
I make about 97K a year on a steady basis, more or less. For those who are curious, I work for the County as a System Administrator. Anyhow, doing the math, about 20% of 97K is $19,400. Which leaves an adjusted gross $77,600.
