Here are links I found interesting on June 13, 2011:

• Why Groupon Is Poised For Collapse – "Businesses are being sold incredibly expensive advertising campaigns that are disguised as “no risk” ways to acquire new customers. In reality, there’s a lot of risk. With a newspaper ad, the maximum you can lose is the amount you paid for the ad. With Groupon, your potential losses can increase with every Groupon customer who walks through the door and put the existence of your business at risk." I couldn't have said it any better. On TechCrunch.
• Medicare Saves Money – "The United States has the most privatized health care system in the advanced world; it also has, by far, the most expensive care, without gaining any clear advantage in quality for all that spending. Health is one area in which the public sector consistently does a better job than the private sector at controlling costs." Paul Krugman tells it like it is. Why isn't the GOP listening? Who are they serving? The public or the insurance industry?
• The Online Looking Glass – Takeaway quote: "In the sad case of Representative Anthony Weiner’s virtual adultery, the Internet era’s defining vice has been thrown into sharp relief. It isn’t lust or smut or infidelity, though online life encourages all three. It’s a desperate, adolescent narcissism." To me, this is the reason he should resign. A public servant needs to understand that it's NOT all about the public servant; it's about the PUBLIC he serves.
