WBJ Talk Back in the Nov. 8, 2010
“A 2.9-percent increase in sales tax revenue… Sounds to me like sales fell to $6.38 billion from $8.06 billion (a 21-percent decrease). Guess the extra 1.5 percent tax on sales is working GREAT!!”
adamr on a WBJ Daily Report item about Massachusetts tax collections for the month of October.
“There are a number of items that this article leaves out: the additional years of training that residents need to complete — usually three years for primary care, more than five for specialists — and also that the level of complexity, higher thinking and procedural skills used by specialists ensures that their salaries are commensurate. Medical students should choose a medical specialty that they desire and will be happy doing for 40 years, thus preventing them becoming the embittered, overworked, underpaid primary care doctor!”
jt2010 on a story that looked at the area’s shortage of primary-care physicians.
“Paper-based companies are doomed in this age of virtual offices and paperless transactions. They know it and we know it, so the market is reflecting this inexorable trend. RIP”
BostonT on a story about the stock-price decline of Framingham-based Staples.
