buttercup

In the letter, Buffett reiterated his concern that executive compensation is often "ridiculously out of line with performance."
Buffett devoted nearly two pages to his criticism of CEO pay which can be especially heinous when executives are dismissed.
"Getting fired can produce a particularly bountiful payday for a CEO," Buffett wrote. "Indeed, he can 'earn' more in that single day, while cleaning out his desk, than an American (Jetblue) worker earns in a lifetime of cleaning toilets. Forget the old maxim about nothing succeeding like success: Today, in the executive suite, the all-too-prevalent rule is that nothing succeeds like failure."
 
Everybody now:

"I just got a water-bed,

it's filled up for me and you...."
 
"We'll barrel roll into the sun just for starters....."
 
"I've done a bit of smuggling."
"I've run my share of grass."
"I made enough money to buy Miami."
 
"a permanent reminder, of a temporary feeling"...................I thought this was a Jimmy Buffett thread as well. Oh well.
 
Now great whales travel the rhumblines,
dodging those deadly harpoons
Spawning their young as their ancestors done
in the depths of her hidden lagoon

There are times I feel myself with them,
times I feel as they do.
We're on a similar course, its just a different source,
but I'm in danger of extinction too.
 
Somewhere Over China

How I would love to drive the Shuttle
Just to feel the engines roar!
And to operate the levers
That control the payload doors.

I could buzz the Himalayas,
Barrell roll above Hong Kong.
Set her down in San Francisco
To the clanging of the gong!:D
 
Don't want to land in no San Juan airport (and I know why).
 
I went to flightinfo looking for answers to questions that bothered me so, but alas, I'll just drink my Green Label each day.
