  1. Just in case anyone thought that Yellen wasn’t a political hack.
    Next job she’ll be moving over to big tobacco to investigate the dangers of smoking.
    Stand by for a fact filled report on that subject.

    1. Did you read the caption under her picture in the article?!!!

      Yellen laid out her vision for a modernized, responsive, tech-savvy tax collection agency equipped to manage twenty-first-century challenges …

      The IRS is coming for you middle America!! And this genius is in charge. What is their target? They’ve said it out loud multiple times … they’re coming for the underground, cash, economy. Trust me … it’s HUGE in America. And when it is effectively ENDED by Yellen and the 87,000 new IRS Agents and her “modernized, tech-savvy” collection … it will cause inflation like you’ve never seen.

      1. Kenji – it’s been the received wisdom for many years amongst the small business community here in Canada that – should Rev Can (now CRA) come calling, you let them find something “offside”, pay the penalty, and breathe a sigh of relief that it didn’t cost you more. Kind of like the Mafia. Know an accountant who openly accused a CRA rep of being a party to extortion because the rep acknowledged a penalty should not have been applied but wouldn’t reverse it and told the accountant to have the client appeal (which would take up more time and cost a fair bit). Obviously CRA figured the client would realize would cost more to appeal than to pay the penalty and so not bother. Extortion 101.

  2. The shows developed by Amazon Prime are the public face of Amazon Prime.
    50% are Cray-Cray, and the rest are Ca-Ca.

  3. I didn’t think Yellin was next to Useless in the dictionary, but she really is next to useless.

  4. We already had a recession that was denied, and you can expect a shitload of bad news on November 10th

  5. “I don’t see signs of a recession.”

    (“Mind you, I have studiously avoided looking for them.”)

  6. Conservatives don’t understand tech, so they don’t get that the profitable side of Amazon is the AWS business. Large organizations are starting to realize that cloud hosting isn’t cheaper than hosting their own servers for a lot of system architectures, and they’re pulling out of AWS. There’s a ton of blog posts and white papers on this floating around right now. Add in the bloated $1B Amazon just wasted on Bezos’ vanity TV project and it’s not surprising they’re missing their earnings calls.
