You will get hoodwinked on San Diego stadium costs
So you're saying the team does NOT cover the LE costs??????? I am surprised as I thought they did, but certainly not shocked. Nothing can shock me with these NFL scams today.— December 27, 2012 10:28 p.m.
Economy for 2013: San Diego worse than state, nation?
Don, I think you are closer to the mark than Jeff. While the top 1-10 richest individuals back then were FAR wealthier than the Buffets and Bill Gates of today, I think the top 1% (3 million) have more today in overall wealth. But when you get to the top 1/10th or top 1/100th (30K-300K) of the top 1% then there is no comparison, the robber baron days win hands down....But, alas, I am guessing, I hope you can find hard data.— December 27, 2012 10:21 p.m.
You will get hoodwinked on San Diego stadium costs
**"Teams looking to build new stadiums without paying for them themselves are, naturally, thrilled — since this is money that they wouldn't normally get to keep anyway, it's effectively a grant, not a loan. (Unless club seat and ticket sales come in below projections, in which case they're on the hook for the difference.) San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York tweeted that he was confident his team would be first to get a cut of the G-4 boodle, San Diego Chargers stadium czar Mark Fabiani called it "great news for the team and our fans," and Vikings stadium chieftain Lester Bagley called it "good news," though he quickly added the caveat that the Vikings still don't have a deal for the other $800 million it takes to build a stadium these days."** Interesting, $200 million is a good start. The Vikings owner said he doesn't know where ANY of the other costs -$800 million!!!- will come from. John, there is NO WAY a team is going to pocket $400-$500 million for PSL's. Oakland's PSL projections were so far off base they ended up on Mars.........— December 27, 2012 10:12 p.m.
Economy for 2013: San Diego worse than state, nation?
#guys like Fisk, Gould, JP Morgan, Rockefeller et al controlled a much larger percentage then the present 1% does. You will NEVER see wealth concentration like you did with the top 3-10 richest Americans, like #1- Rockefeller #2 Carnegie or #3 JP Morgan- ever again, because they controlled the Congress and Presidency, at least until Teddy Roosevelt became president busted their companies up, when President McKinley was shot and killed. President McKinley was in the pocket of the trusts/corps back then. JP Morgans business model was to not to have any competition, same for JD Rockefeller. I do question if the wealth of the overall top 1% is more concentrated today than then, certainly not in the top 3-10 individuals. No one will ever match JDR overall net worth (adjusted for inflation).— December 27, 2012 4:48 p.m.
Producer of the failed horse show, Valitar, slapped with more lawsuits
If they were under capitalized that right there pierces the corporate veil.— December 27, 2012 4:35 p.m.
Producer of the failed horse show, Valitar, slapped with more lawsuits
#Don't these show producers usually get insurance for situations like this? The venue probably required insurance in order to lease the premises, didn't think about that.— December 27, 2012 4:34 p.m.
El Cajon pit bull attack goes unpunished, unpaid for
Most armed services enlisted personnel make so little they qualify for food stamps, I was just guessing that was the case here, but who knows maybe she was making decent money, then a civil lawsuit would work.— December 27, 2012 4:32 p.m.

#....but won’t help Main Street much except in one important way: housing could continue its rebound. Housing is NOT in a rebound, and never will be until the job creation increases 10 times what it is today. That is a fact. The ONLY reason we are seeing ANY rise in ANY real estate (homes-residential/Commercial or farm land) is because of the idiot named Ben Bernanke running the Fed who invented ZIRP. Zero Interest Rate Policy. Take out that phoney baloney artificial pumping and we have 1% or even negative growth. 2.5% growth?????????? Hahahahhahahaa, Hamilton is off his rocker. Again, the ONLY reason we have any growth whatsoever is ZIRP, allowing large financial institutions and high net worth individuals rape the depressed markets-as they are the only ones with any cash.— December 26, 2012 7:31 p.m.
