Resolved Question: How long to you think the rich are going to float the bill before they leave the US with their money?

Here is a list of companies that have already relocated. Everyday the list grows. Who will pay for the underprivileged when all we are is peasants waiting for the bread line to open. And dont forget, its not just the income tax from the company that we loose but also all the jobs that were lost and those taxes as well. Maybe Mccain had a point after all.

Resolved Question: benefit of the doubt - a language question?

Hi, can anyone tell me the meaning of the last sentence? This one: "And it doesn’t really matter how many ads or how many lunches the competition sponsors; they now get the benefit of the doubt." Who/what are "they" and what they get? And this is the context: "How then does an elevator company compete? Schindler Elevator Corporation has radically changed the game by developing a Purple Cow. The insight? When you approach their elevators, you key in your floor on a centralized control panel. In return, the panel tells you which elevator will take you to your floor. With this simple pre-sort, they have managed to turn every elevator into an express. Your elevator takes you immediately to the 12th floor and races back to the lobby. This means that buildings can be taller, they need fewer elevators for a given number of people, the wait is shorter, and the building can use precious space for people, not for elevators. A huge win, implemented at remarkably low cost. Is there a significant real estate developer in the world who is unaware of this breakthrough? Not likely. And it doesn’t really matter how many ads or how many lunches the competition sponsors; they now get the benefit of the doubt." more

A private elevator could whisk you down to the secret sub-level garage to your crime-fighting vehicle of choice. Bruce Wayne may be scary, but homeboy doesn't think. more

Resolved Question: did he mess up?

A recent college graduate got hired by the human-development center of a large corporation to train the employees in proper dress code and etiquette. One day as she was stepping onto the elevator, a man who was casually dressed in jeans and a golf shirt got on with her. "Dressed a little casually today, aren't we?" she said in a scolding tone. "That's one of the benefits of owning the company," the man replied with a grin. more
