Technology: The CrashPlan Backup Service Entered The Stopped State
I recently had a problem with the CrashPlan backup service. If you are not familiar with CrashPlan, it’s an online backup service like Mozy and Carbonite. Read CrashPlan and Why The Cloud Makes Sense to learn more about the service.

Millennials And Liberal Democrats Less Likely To Believe In God
A recent Pew survey reveals that 68% of Millennials, defined as those born from 1981 on, say “I never doubt the existence of God”, which is a decline of 15 points in 5 years. The “Silent” generation, those born between 1928 and 1945, did not see any change when it comes to belief in God in the past 5 years. Although I’m betting you could poll that older generation on any number of issues and rarely find much change in only 5 years.

The ‘Job Killing Regulations Argument’ Can Be Right And Still Not Matter, Particularly When Our Future Is On The Line
It’s a common refrain from Republicans that regulations are bad for business and will kill jobs. They need not offer any proof, just like most claims from Republicans, they simply state it as fact. Fine, let’s take them at their word. In fact, I do believe there are some situations where regulations could lead to job losses, but my response is “so what?” Hear me out for a few moments.

Train Wreck: Romney Campaign Press Secretary Andrea Saul On The Daily Rundown with Chuck Todd
Romney Campaign Press Secretary Andrea Saul was on The Daily Rundown with Chuck Todd today. I’ve transcribed part of her appearance to highlight just how vague and non-specific the Romney campaign messaging is. They don’t really offer solutions. What they offer are critiques of the Obama administration based on generalities.

Video: ‘Death Spiral Of Falling Demand’ – Venture Capitalist Nick Hanauer On Viewpoint with Eliot Spitzer
Venture capitalist Nick Hanauer explains why people create the demand which then creates the jobs. He says he makes 1000 times more than the average worker but that doesn’t translate to 1000 times the consumerism of the average worker. He can’t makeup the difference. So with more wealth accumulating within a small pool of wealthy people, that means less wealth spread across the rest of the country. It means less purchasing power and less demand for products and services from tens and hundreds of millions of Americans. This is why supply side (trickle down) economics doesn’t work. We’ve tried it for 30 years. How many more years do we need to continue failed economic policy before we wake up and realize it will never work?
