Spiritual Economy; This is extremely sound shastra to meditate and live by in life: —Are Meditators careful to live within the bounds of their circumstances, and to avoid involving themselves in business beyond their ability to manage; or in hazardous or speculative trade. Are they just in th

This happens all the time in "Sillyconned Valley." Most people leave a company to "scam a job elsewhere." It is almost an "idiomatic expression." That he couldn't perform is enough evidence and not surprising too. They need to learn to hire older more experienced folks but they have an aver

You mean you give it a "kind of credence" that you think will give you an opportunity to criticize and quibble, another try after having been corrected on your first mistake. No particular credence need be given to what's obviously labeled speculation. It's just a matter of allowing for vari

Judy, for all we know in this context is zilch. But by adding a detailed scenario, you give a kind of credence to what comes after the phrase. Were you in the debate club in high school or college? On Sunday, January 19, 2014 1:29 PM, "authfri...@yahoo.com" wrote:   But Share, "For all

But Share, "For all we know" indicates that I was speculating, not assuming, as Bhairitu was. Two different things. Try to get your ducks in a nice row before you start posing objections. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote: << But Judy, you're also making a big assumption when you s

But Judy, you're also making a big assumption when you say that for all we know he expressed his doubts to Mayer and she told him not to worry! In this case, for all we know is zilch! Maybe she made him a financial offer he couldn't refuse. Maybe she had worked with him before and it had worked

Most likely he didn't know he wasn't up to it, or thought he could get up to it if he made a big effort. If he knew he wasn't up to it, he'd have been insane to take the gig. And for all we know, he expressed his doubts to Mayer and she told him not to worry, he'd do great. For her, it was a cou

Sorry but that is because you don't know the tech industry. A little story, back around 1980 I was out of a playing gig and doing temp work. I took a week long workshop on hiring by the state's employment agency. One of the topics was on selling one's self. I raised the question "what if th

Of course not. Why would you think it makes him a scamster? Again, his hiring was Mayer's poor judgment as to his competence. She hired him despite his "spotty record." There's no evidence he did anything wrong or dishonest. More on the guy who got away with the big golden parachute from Y
