"How many PhD's can employers find that would work for 10 cents an hour?" A bunch, if they payed other workers 1 cent.

PhD's and accountants are worth what they are paid because of supply and demand. Despite the fact you're a schmuck, you're really saying what I've been saying.... Employer's will pay what they have to to get the talent they need to run their business.....so, their worth is a subjective thing. For nodey to say a fast food was worth his salary cause he saw him hustling is a stupid statement.... There were 5 hedge fund managers that made over a billion dollars each last year......were they worth it??? No one would agree they are but that's the deal the fund had to offer them to get them to work for their fund... And btw, Watson knows squat about me......

South Korea Is Building 'Invisible' Skyscraper USES CAMERAS AND LED SCREENS TO DISAPPEAR FROM SIGHT By Ruth Brown, Newser Staff newser.com ( They are doing this why? ) Posted Sep 16, 2013 2:28 PM CDT (NEWSER) – Superpowered skyscrapers seem to be all the rage these days. London has one that can melt cars, and now South Korea is planning to build one with the power of invisibility. The country's government recently gave the go-ahead for the construction of a 1,476-foot structure called "Tower Infinity" in the city of Incheon, reports the Wall Street Journal. The tower, designed by a US-based architecture firm, is expected to house a movie theater, roller coaster, and water park, reports CNN. But by far its coolest features is that it will "disappear." No magic or mutant abilities will be needed: The trick is performed via 500 LED screens, and cameras at three different heights on six sides of the building. The cameras capture what's behind the building, then display it on the screens, tricking observers' eyes into making it look like the building isn't there. But there are some caveats: It will only work at certain times of day and at certain angles, and will only be turned on for short periods at specific times, reports the Journal. And though it may sound like a plane crash waiting to happen, the project's backers say it's safe for air traffic, because even in invisibility mode it will still have to keep its red warning lights on.

Christian TV prophet claims she can re-grow cheek bones and heal Satanic tumors By David Edwards rawstory.com ( Ten, why are so many Christians such complete, gullible morons? I'm really tempted to become a Christian web "healer" ) Monday, September 16, 2013 13:05 EDT Self-proclaimed television prophet Cindy Jacobs recently told her followers that her faith once caused a woman to re-grow a cheek bone in seconds and that she was able to self-heal a grapefruit-sized tumor caused by Satan. In a web video posted last week, Jacobs explained that she once felt “crippled in my gift” to heal because she prayed for someone and they died. “I was so hurt over this that I wasn’t willing anymore to extend my faith, I was shipwrecked,” she said. But at a prayer meeting, Jacobs said she began to “move out powerfully in faith.” “I gave this prophecy, ‘You were in a car accident, and it destroyed your right cheekbone, so literally there’s a hollow under your cheek, you have no cheekbone. Where are you?’” she asked people at the meeting. “You see, that even takes faith to ask someone to stand up when you’re ministering like this.” “And so, this woman stood up, you could see that she had been in a car accident, she had that concave, you know, look to her cheek,” Jacobs continued. “And I said, ‘Reach up and feel it.’ And she did. And as she rubbed her hand over her cheek, when she moved it away, you could see, God had grown the bone right under her hand.” “Praise the Lord!” Jacobs said that she was also able to heal herself after God showed her “the root of some things that allowed sickness into me.” “I once had a grapefruit-sized tumor in my body, and the Holy Spirit showed me the source of that,” the TV prophet recalled. “It had come from a root of unforgiveness and a root of wounding. And, in fact, it was near — or behind my female organs or whatever and the Lord showed me that Satan had wounded me as a woman.” Watch the video below from General International, uploaded by Right Wing Watch on Sept. 16, 2013.
