Really? A post from TWO years ago? I expect a mildly pushed agenda from Alex, and often they're some of the most commented posts probably because of that, but two years old? That's really scraping the bottom of the barrel. What would be interesting to know two years later would be, how did it do? Are some of those kids department managers or something like that, or did they mostly get let go when they reached the 90 day 'have to pay them full minimum wage' threshold that was discussed? THAT would make for a good discussion, unfortunately Google isn't providing info on that.
Detroit has a jobless rate of 11.2 now, so maybe it worked fantastically, however, that really old article above was using a guess at the U6 'underemployed' number so if they were all hired as part-timers it wouldn't have decreased much.
Curiously, where does one come across a two year old article in their daily internet touring? Google also did not show anything remotely recent (other than the Neatorama post) so I really do wonder!

Good info here:

Used to prevent theft of tax numbers. (Which begs the question of who thought it would be smart to put uncoded tax info on a blatantly visible sticker.)
Also, if you were a vending machine server(a filler), you'd likely have this number on your phone no? To report illegal machines that are taking away your business?

Great call wpdunn, or instead of blaming the union, fix the '06 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act so they're not prefunding their heath care obligations for the next SEVENTY FIVE years, among other things. Ralph Nader notes that without this act, the Post Office would be sitting on a 1.5B surplus. By the way, both parties were nearly unanimous in passing it. Congress made the problem, Congress should fix it, ha ha, yeah I actually said that. Wait, you mean the fix has already been proposed in the House? HR1351 submitted April 4, 2011. And it has 227 co-sponsors, including both sides? I wonder why it hasn't been voted on yet? It's languishing in the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform right now, headed by Darrell Issa. This committee has passed through numerous new Post Office names, but not actually working on fixing the WHOLE Post Office. I'm not merely picking on Issa. He passed his own bill through committee and it was submitted on June 23rd. That's the bill that ends Saturday Delivery, closes more offices and lays off lots of workers, but still keeps the Post Offices' overpaid billions in other hands, making the debt numbers look slightly better (you know, like we've done with SS for decades!). Or its the dirty filthy unions.

Wow, people really get off on grammar corrections. It's the new 'first'.

Simply Amazing! The helmet looks great as well.

Really? You're gonna dig in an hunker down on 'well, they didn't deny it'? Tom Cruise has never denied that he's been carrying on a torrid affair with a monkey from Peru either (and that's been happening for the last three years!), so it's probably true, you be the judge!

Most of those dark blue states on the map are pretty red politically, even when excluding Texas and their higher than California budget woes. In fact several of those 'no income tax states' are suffering significantly but that lacks mention (I assume because it doesn't fit the storyline, but I'm jaded.) despite being a fairly good control group in arguing that income tax volatility is NOT the problem.
We are told about the instability of the wealthy, and as an example are given the one year time-frame of the second worst financial crisis in our history, one that predominantly affected those with substantial stock holdings, aka the wealthy. And the solution to this instability is to tax the wealthy less. Funny that. Rainy day funds are brought up but not really discussed. Instead we get to learn that a rainy day supporter has car dealerships and is doing 'fine'. Whew, good to know. Also little mention of how income inequality could play a significant role. Sigh, its about what I expect from WSJ and their usual slant, but it still frustrates me. By the way, Mr Williams in the fall of '05 told us that he 'doesn't foresee a housing collapse'. Oops.

This could have been good. It's too bad conditional formatting walked away from the lead role.
