I was at Bank Of America for years. I even held their stock.
Everyday, I felt their greed, personally and in the news. The
last straw was their online banking. It took sometimes (note I
said 'sometimes' = randomness. I believe, and there was talk,
BoA, deliberately held back deposits, thus creating overdrafts)
3 days or more to recognize the money. Yet, BoA had no problem
of instantly of recognizing money withdrawals.

What's the point of browsing all the time with no interest in
purchasing what your looking for? Don't understand that. I
browse, but fully intending a purchase.

[quote]They'd rather browse than buy.
That, at least, is the word from 14-to- 34-year-olds surveyed by
The Intelligence Group, a youth-focused research firm, for its
quarterly Cassandra Report.
This is the kind of stuff that drives retailers absolutely
crazy. The report finds that young folks, increasingly, find the
act of researching and browsing for a purchase far more
compelling than the purchase itself.
"Millennials are forcing tectonic shifts in purchasing
patterns," says Joe Kessler, president of the Intelligence
Group. One-third of respondents said that browsing for items is
actually more "fun" than purchasing them. And nearly half of
those surveyed said they regularly browse for items that they
don't necessarily plan on buying. Essentially, e-commerce has
become "its own form of entertainment," the report, which
surveyed 1,300 14-to-34-year-olds concludes.
What to call such behavior? Well, retailers call it frustrating.
But the Intelligence Group has dubbed it "Fauxsumerism."
Ah, but there is a ray of light for retailers. Some 40% of young
consumers said that while they are browsing, they also are
making "wish lists" of products they want to buy.
But even then, they don't necessarily want to own. Some 35% of
respondents said they'd rather pay full price to access an item
only when they need it as opposed to actually owning it. Call
them "NOowners." They prize access over ownership and prefer
renting, sharing and bartering above buying things.
"Marketers need to shift their mindset," says Jamie Gutfreund,
chief strategy officer at the Intelligence Group.[/quote]

I browse like a muthaphucka, but it's always with the intent of
getting the absolute best bargain I can. It may take me a bit
longer than the average Joe, but it's worth taking the extra
time just to make sure you don't get screwed over a week later
with a sale that says 50% off. Ack!

That "Anything Else" commercial was awesome.
So to me, John Oliver just suddenly materialized. Which I know
can't be right. Where'd he come from?
He's just skyrocketed.

The Daily Show. He's been around for quite some time. He had a
highly successful fill-in stint recently for Jon Stewart when he
took time off to go do his directorial debut, leaving the chair
for Oliver to occupy until he came back. But Oliver was always
great in the role of a reporter long before that. Very solid
alumni from TDS that includes Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell.
The rest as they say is.....history.

I found these survey results suprising in just about every way.
To give up so much for cell coverage.

Gas prices are hitting an all time low around these parts.
Currently $1.78/gallon
I'm happy and will take it. We all know one day it will go back
up.
I'm one of those who look at... I have more money to spend on
other things. Which I would think, more consumer confidence,
which stimulate growth.
