Is that you, CW?
Sarah makes Carly(the RINO) look like a fresh pile of shyte.
I lost some money on that debacle as well...
I’d take Cruz in a heartbeat over Trump.
Serious question, if I may...
Didn’t Cruz vote for the Iran “deal” and the trade agreement?..Yes, or no..
This is sad, HP used to be the best printers. Epson was right behind them then (earlyto mid 90s).
“Didn’t Cruz vote for the Iran “deal” and the trade agreement?..Yes, or no..”
Yes, which is bad. It’s my understand he did so as part of a bigger deal with the understanding it would be blocked using other methods.
“Half the desks in America have a Hewlett Packard printer sitting on top. Almost any company would love to have a “disaster” like that...”
Out of stupidity or complacency on the consumer’s part they do.
HP invented horrible customer service and planned obsolescence - to the point of perfection. I’ve never been impressed with anything HP - their hardware has always had issues and is the cause for almost all PC repair woes I have dealt with. I won’t use anything of theirs unless it is free and even then I think twice about it and generally shy away.
Trump failed at the casino business which, up until that point, had been thought impossible to do.

In Atlantic City, all the casino’s there have failed or are failing.
Thanks. Too many FReepers are innumerate and it’s a problem in the general population as well.
“,,,,, I like Cruz also ,,, ... Trump is saying what people want to hear ,,, they want that fence . I just don’t trust him to deliver the goods ,, in the past he’s been all over the board with his positions on the real key issues . Trump is vague and presents little in the way of solutions other than a fence .”
I agree. I like Cruz a lot but don’t completely trust him on legal immigration. And you are right that Trump has been all over the map in the past, so how can we know he won’t pivot again?
Nevertheless, and regardless of how this all plays out, I’ll always be grateful to Trump for forcing the immigration issue into the debate and for getting together with Sen. Sessions for his immigration policy positions.
For such a terrible company, they sure do seem to be making a lot of money...
Sure HP suffered during the Tech Crash. But there are a lot of companies that employed hundreds of thousands of workers that just don't exist anymore. Sun Microsystems, Gateway, Atari, America Online, Wang, Alta Vista, Nokia... the list goes on and on. More companies failed than survived.
HP weathered that storm, and has emerged stronger. Now, you can say it did so in spite of Carly Fiorina, but you can't fault her because her company survived.
They weathered the storm because of name recognition and corporate accounts. They survived in spite of carly. They still survive to this day due to marketing and name recognition.
Quote-Thanks. Too many FReepers are innumerate and it’s a problem in the general population as well.
I see it too. I still can’t get a good answer from anyone why His Holy Word instructs what was, is or will be done on His 3 types of days (instead of 2) in Ezekiel 46..
1. New Moon Days- gate opened
2. 6 Work Days-gate closed
3. Sabbath-gate opened
He separates New Moon Days from His 6 Work AND His Sabbath.
That count would then be to 8, not 7. Unless the Word is misprinted.
It seems the whole world doesn’t count too well.
PCs were starting their long decline?
Still selling very well: http://www.worldometers.info/computers
Another Wall Street pump and dump scheme.
..... Such vendor financing deals, Fortune explained, would have a similar impact on the telecom industry that sub-prime mortgages eventually had on housing: public companies extended loans to customers who were betting that the good times would continue while those same loans helped inflate lenders’ short-term financial results and stock prices.
Here's is your claim:
Trump started with about $100 million in 1968. That’s about $671 million in today’s dollars.
During the 20th century the stock market returned an average of 10.4% a year. We’ve accounted for inflation above, so investing $671 million over 45 years at 10.4%/year gets you to $57 billion.
You can't inflate the 1968 dollars and then magically put that amount into the stock market and base your expected growth off that. Simply not possible.
When you put $1 into the market, and the market doubles, you end up with $2. If inflation cuts the value of that dollar in half you still have the $2, even though it now only buys as much as your original $1. If deflation were to make the dollar double in value, you would still have $2 based on the investment above, but it would have the spending power of $4 compared to the original $1. It doesn't change whether the dollar is worth more or less.
Bottom line: Your "math" is seriously flawed. You can't take the original investment number and apply potential inflation to it to get your original investment amount.
So by that logic, we can't fault Obama for anything if the US survives? The air sort of comes right out of that argument when you think about it.
We most certainly CAN fault Carly for poor performance at HP. They fired her and, under new leadership, were able to turn it around. Unless she totally put them out of business she can't be held accountable? We live in different worlds apparently.
Did you listen and see how she spoke last night. Imagine that in a boardroom.....deeeeeesasterrrrrrr
She has the facial expressions of a Disney villain.
Cruella DeVille.
I think that the face comment will eventaully stick and take her out
