kudos:3 | All of this talk of salary cuts... ... Instead of the government giving out stimulus to everyone, I don't see why CEO's don't do it themselves.
Brian Roberts, just a few years ago, took his measly 2.4 million in salary for compensation, not including his 80 million in bonuses. I say, keep your 2.4 million, I think he's owed that and it's fair pay in my book.
I'm going to play with numbers.
Take the 80 million in bonus. Figure in about 60,000 employees company wide to receive this payout.
If they took that formula, there would be 60,000 people getting a check for $1,333.33 each.
In other words.. instead of taking away the bonuses this year, take the money and divide it up into a stimulus package of their own.. I think you'd make a MUCH bigger difference than the horrible spending on D.C. | |

You could undo the 250gb Unfair access policy, split many network nodes to include more deep fiber & docsis 3 upgrades. Tell the entertainment indstry to F.O. and have a free download from the Comcast website of Robin Hood, It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, etc. It's not just those earning a paycheck.. it's also about those who pay the bills in the first place (customers).
Yes, there will need to be some Robin Hood policies put in place to reverse at least a decade or more of skyrocketing wealth to a smaller number of individuals while pushing many who previously had a middle class lifestyle into the poor house.. or worse, underwater.. when things are this bad in the economy there's plenty of breathing room between social justice and communism.

Let's just hope companies that take public money do the RIGHT thing for the consumer. Sofar, the oil, bank & auto industry have proven that they're not going to do the right things and will suffer the consequences down the line (probably regulation, accountability & prosecutions). | |

Who do you think pay those bills?
Your mind is stuck purely in cable TV.. the economy is much larger than cable TV or the internet.  I can tell you many cable employees, too by the way, that still pay upwards to $150 a month for their own cable bills depending on what services they buy.
But, employees who earn wages spend money.. not just with cable. They spend money on goods.. spending money on goods requires a work force to deliver those goods which means people work and more people get hired to deliver on those goods. THOSE people, guess what...? ... make a check as well. Those people become cable customers and buy cars and food, and go to movies.. etc.
Stimulation of the economy comes from the consumer level which are themselves, employed.
I just cant agree on your robin hood policy.. I don't believe in EVER taking from the rich and giving to the poor. I DO believe, however, in going after criminals and thieves, where they may exist, and taking back ill gotten gains. There is a difference. | |
