hypno-marketing

have you been trapped by one of these?


http://www.fatlossfaststart.com/


it, and all the others like it, are "videos" that are really just audios with some slides that just go on and on and on and on....mesmerizing you by thinking they are eventually going to get to some point....


are people really taken in by these???


they don't give you a progress bar or a fast forward button or even tell you HOW LONG they are going to keep you in "suspense"


Stansberry investments is another great one for these "videos"


I guess the fact there are so many of these, and more and more seem to be coming online, indicates people must actually be taken in by them and buy whatever it is they are selling


seems to be a piss poor excuse for good marketing to me

outsourcing

interesting audit of Apple parts suppliers:

Apple also said it found instances of involuntary labor, mainly the result of suppliers that subcontract with labor agencies to hire workers from countries including the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam.

"involuntary labor" - what an interesting euphemism for SLAVERY




this is what outsourcing brings...you like your IPhone, IPod, IYouNameIt?...you like it was built by slave labor?


America needs to address this whole outsourcing problem and all its related ailments and get us back in the direction of American jobs making American products...anyone ever heard of a tariff?


Apple exposed...but how many other "American" companies are playing the same rotten game?

GOP primary overload

do we REALLY care who wins in IOWA?...or NEW HAMPSHIRE for that matter?...I mean I understand they are FIRST and all that stuff, but if ron paul wins iowa will it mean anything?...so it really doesn't matter who wins either of these puny first primaries

and Conservatives don't really care if any of the current crop wins anywhere anyway as far as I'm concerned...I don't see any candidate worth getting excited about

newt is looking creepier every day...he can't explain why he took millions from fannie/freddie yet continues the "but I don't support them" line

may as well be Romney - probably the least bad of all our choices...can hardly wait for the "magic underwear" reports to start coming out on him

and we could have had Trump
