Interesting article! And what is clear to me about the google suit is that Money Talks While Others walk. Wealth is power and it clearly buys power and immunity. Avoiding Google takes a fair bit of effort, and probably those surveyed are clueless.
Testing for the plague is still only a small part, and is not the same as active avoidance.
A reminder that just because somebody wants to sell something, and actually offers it for sale, it may be that none wish to buy it. Shades of "E-Bay", but with less truth in advertising.
An interesting summary. And what remains obvious is that not everybody can be a "superstar" or a "Rock Star" towering over others. Some organizations have selected an area that will probably always have more demand than other areas. While all people are created with equal value and rights, that does not at all apply to all organizations.
We do see that the success of some does lead towards the benefit of others.
Quite interesting indeed. Unfortunately there appears to be a mindset among some that if profits are not INCREASING that they are losing. That mindset is both Incredibly GREEDY and incredibly STUPID.
As long as an organization is producing a net profit it is still a profit, there is no loss. The fact that the profit is not as great as somebody said it would be may be a disappointment, and might even reveal a lie, but it is not a loss, just a smaller gain.
Of course, given that a big part of the stock market runs on emotions instead of logic, disappointment will have a serious effect. "Oh Well."
The performance of "the star performers" has seldom represented the performance of the rest of the crowd. Thus it is very seldom an accurate indication of reality. Certainly the S&P has a use, but it is not to indicate the actual over-all condition.
Quite a tale, the history of oil production and oil imports. But it seems that there were some regulations that had a great deal of effect but were not mentioned. The pricing of imported oil was allowed to be different from the pricing of domestic production crude.
So at least part of the story should mention changing federal regulations, created to benefit certain oil companies. A rather nasty bit, but the public had no say at all in the matter.
And also during that same period gasoline prices rose a huge amount, over tenfold at one point. I think that the rise initially was because of different rules about imported crude.
