Millette said he witnessed lavish spending on staff, with big “catered” parties.
"Going to a nice fancy restaurant is not team building. Staying at a lavish hotel at the beach here in Jacksonville, and requiring staff that lives in the area to stay at the hotel is not team building," he told CBS News.

About 500 staff members attended the four-day conference in Colorado, which CBS News reported cost about $3 million.
I'm glad the WW do help, but with this much overhead, it's hard for me to write them donation checks.

According to the charity's tax forms obtained by CBS News, spending on conferences and meetings went from $1.7 million in 2010, to $26 million in 2014, which is the same amount the group spends on combat stress recovery.

I have a 2 year old and another on the way. I was a school teacher; now I'm a stay-at-home mom. With the cost of daycare, it doesn't make sense for me to go back to work. Now, when our kids are older, sure; but not now.

re: would you put money in a Savings or a CD?

Both are earning next to nothing, so you just have to decide if the slightly higher rate for a CD is worth locking your money away and not being able to access it without a penalty.

They most likely suffered from a mental disorder. Sad for everyone involved.

re: Is pay based on position or quality of work

Pay = position
In my husband's profession , there are many people with some lofty titles that don't do all that much but make bank. Tis life.

Posted by mrs evil cockroach on 1/15/16 at 9:33 am
Depends how much it cost. I think Lafayette traffic light camera ticket is only $27 or something like that . Sure, I'll pay that . But a $400 one or something absurd like that? Eff that noise.

It looks like that chart is based on the amount of total oil reserves. I wonder how accurate those measurements are?

ETA: my tin foil hat moment...If Saudi Arabia did not have the oil that we think it has, then maybe the USA pulls out and King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud has to fend for himself.
quote:
In 2004, Saudi Aramco stated that its oil initially in place (OIIP) has been growing steadily since 1982. There is considerable doubt about the validity of this increase, given the lack of new oil discoveries and the unusual nature of its steady continuous increase. Aramco stated the OIIP was 700 Gb at year end 2003 while a more realistic estimate is 580 Gb.
