Avis Chief’s Parachute Could Be Solid Gold
Just a year after being named the chairman and chief executive of Avis Group Holdings in East Garden City, A. Barry Rand, 56, is in line to leave the company with a $15.1 million severance package.
Mr. Rand, who is black, became one of the country’s leading minority executives last November when he accepted the top post at Avis, the rental car company. This fall, the Cendant Corporation of New York acquired the company for $1.5 billion and assumed debt.

How many QALYs does this guy have left, anyway?
Isn't it about time to put him out on the ice floe?

This looks like pretty good evidence of an appointment staged in advance for the socialization push. It would be a really good time time check all of Os other appointments to see what else he has in store for us.We already know: they're pro-abortion "Catholics," radicals, and people who'd rather not pay their taxes.
And it's not socialism. It's fascism.

A. Barry Rand, meet Megyn Kelley who just undressed your spokesman. Also, say goodbye to all of your FORMER members. I think the proper term is "de-pantsed"...

Sorry to hear you were ever a member. They are nothing more than a leftist organization, dealing in liberal power brokering, while masquerading as a discount club. They don’t offer you or any other senior anything that ins’t available on the open market cheaper, and without supporting an organization that uses your money to attempt to destroy your ideals and principles. AARP’s mission was discovered years ago, even before they were all for William Jefferson Clinton.
Just another example of what happens to many organizations with a large pot of gold at the end of the rainbow just waiting to be used for nefarious purpose. Kind of like union pension funds, not enough oversight, and too many hands and minds in the cookie jar.

(A half-truth masquerading as the whole truth becomes a complete untruth. (J.I. Packer)
So now we understand why AARP is shilling for legislation which the president promises will cut billions of dollars from Medicare. The AARP president, a political supporter of the president, is putting the president's interests before those of seniors. What is going to happen is obvious: care to the elderly will be rationed and the elderly will be pressured to forgo care in the “death interviews.” Mandatory or not, the legislation clearly provides a financial incentive for doctors to schedule these interviews. And seniors are often vulnerable to the suggestions of others when sick, uncomfortable and disoriented. The presence of Ezekiel Emmanuel on the president's health policy team means that euthanasia is definitely NOT off the table.
The monies saved from the early dispatch of seniors, many of whom have paid Medicare premiums all their working lives, will be used to provide health insurance to the millions of illegal aliens the president promised to legalize yesterday. This mass of undereducated—most Mexican illegals have not studied beyond 6th grade and many rural Mexicans have not even gone that far—will be a reliable ethnic bloc—al la Blacks, Jews and Muslims—for the Democratic Party. That the country will ultimately dragged down and destroyed by this massive influx troubles modern democrats not at all. They will most likely be gone (”Ezekieled”) when the end comes. And they don't really like America that much anyway. Can we stop this?

Being a top executive at Xerox is not a good recommedation.
Xerox stopped being a good company 20 years ago.

I just cancelled my AAPP membership.Help me out here.
Help me out here.
How did you do that exactly? Here is their site:
How do I get a refund?
As it turn out, I sent in my 3-year renewal about 2 weeks ago.
Note that there is no link to quit, or even to "Contact Us," which is present in just about every web site.

Perhaps he's qualified...he's still there because he's black, imho.
Sounds like his whole career path has been greased that way.

Thanks for the info. I just enrolled with American Seniors Association and will tell everyone I know to do the same. If you are currently a member of AARP, you can get an extra month free with ASA if you send them your torn up AARP card.
