Between this morning and lunchtime, I walked 4.3 miles today - prayformojo Apr 23, 09:29 2

I know we pick on Netflix for having a ridiculous P/E ratio, but did we know that Amazon's is even higher? - ceregon Apr 23, 09:17 16
- Playing stock market game with my students. Started last week. Netflix just jumped me to #1 today. -- nm - volnelk Apr 23, 09:37 3

- Netflix is heavily dependent on others for it's content....Amazon pretty much is the online commerce starting point. - Will Hunting Apr 23, 09:20
- Amazon is in a different stratosphere from Netflix. The latter company will be lucky to be in business in five years. -- nm - David Apr 23, 09:19 8
  - That's a rather hyperbolic statement. And sure, in terms of revenue Amazon is sailing, but 15-some years later and it's net income is still - Don Homer Apr 23, 09:21 5
    - how soon they forget Cy Young winner Derek Lowe -- nm - charlie Apr 23, 09:41 3

  - It really is more of a cautionary tale. -- nm - Spawn Apr 23, 09:20
  - [deleted]
- the second video was much more interesting -- nm - decline Apr 23, 09:17
- sorry, I got distracted by the MVC video below -- nm - oblique Apr 23, 09:17 1

  - Yup. I think he could be the steal of the draft. -- nm - David Apr 23, 09:42
Speaking of France: For every euro in salary and benefits paid to employees, employers pay on average X in payroll taxes. PIRR rules apply. -- nm - spamlet Apr 23, 09:12 11
- Sorry for the bad question. The answer is 45%. For every euro in salary and benefits, it costs an employer 1.45. -- nm - spamlet Apr 23, 09:51
- [deleted] 3
  - the question is Socialism Bad! -- nm - charlie Apr 23, 09:43 1
    - It is a big reason why France has had less than 8% unemployment for only one year out of the past two decades - Roger More Apr 23, 10:03
  - What percentage of salary and benefits is paid in payroll taxes by the employer under various payroll taxes. - spamlet Apr 23, 09:30
- and the answer is..... -- nm - Beaker Apr 23, 09:22 1
  - Thought so. -- nm - Spawn Apr 23, 09:24
- For instance, in the US it's around 15% for Social Security and Unemployment. -- nm - spamlet Apr 23, 09:16 2
  - Employers only pay half of that, right? -- nm - GregW Apr 23, 09:40 1
    - No, that's just the employer share. 7.5% for FICA and 7.5% for unemployment (basically) -- nm - spamlet Apr 23, 09:50
