The Economist Intelligence Unit has ranked 140 cities based on their liveability. Melbourne has been ranked the world's most liveable city for the past seven years but it has lost the top spot, to whom? 1507940147251-drlcss.mp4

In this video, Jason Bermas of WeAreChange gives you the latest breaking news on the landmark decision by a jury to find that Monsanto's Roundup weed killer and glyphosate, in particular, caused Dewayne Lee Johnson's cancer. This opens the floodgates for hundreds of lawsuits, it's all over for Monsanto

@James Thomas Rook Jr. What you say above is very true. It's not just the vehicle that would need to be built but even an even larger problem would be changing the infrastructure to fit it. Tesla has experienced this already with their superchargers everywhere. I recently pulled into one to ask an owner how they felt.... and for longer trips than can fill up at about 250 miles per hour. If you have a LONG trip that would add potentially 2 hours of "sitting time" versus just filling up with gas and moving on down the road. It only works for round trip commutes of less than 130 miles or so because of the waiting time. And the "fill ups" at home only allow for daily round trip commutes of about 30-50 miles off of a standard plug.

I've never heard of Mr. Cardone but I ASSUME that he is rich because he is talking like he is. I wonder if making videos like these contributes to his "richness"??

Imagine you just won the jackpot for $1 million. How long would it last before you went broke? 1507940147251-drlcss.mp4

Although.. one does look sorta funny walking around like that to be honest. It takes the coolness out of hiking... LOL....

This would have made school back in the 1980's SO MUCH EASIER!!! 1507940147251-drlcss.mp4

@James Thomas Rook Jr. What do you think?

Warren Buffett's conglomerate interrupted a beautiful Saturday by reporting quarterly earnings. But we'll forgive him. Because Buffett's empire touches, well, just about every aspect of the U.S. business landscape (okay, maybe not esports...yet), checking out Berkshire's quarterly reports gives us a window into the health of the economy. Quick timeout: If you've never been to Berkshire's website before...here's a taste of what you can expect. Web developers, you might want to submit a résumé. So...how'd it do? At a high level—really darn well. Net income almost tripled, but per Buffett, chalk that up to a new accounting rule that requires you to include unrealized investment gains/losses in net income. Because Berkshire has so many investments, that number can fluctuate wildly. Where you should be looking, he says, is operating income, which jumped 67% (topping expectations). Let's dive a little deeper: Its freight rail business (BNSF Railway) surged due to "general economic growth" generating higher demand for consumer and industrial goods (sand, fertilizer, grain). Insurance (GEICO and others) also rebounded. Underwriting profit came in at $943 million, up from a loss of $22 million last year. One catalyst for all this growth was the corporate tax cut. In Q2, Berkshire paid an effective income tax rate of 20%, down from 28.9% last year. And then there's tech: Tech? Buffett? You bet. Buffett has been steadily increasing his position in Apple. Which, you may have heard, hit $1 trillion in market cap last week. Now, $47.2 billion of Berkshire's ~$180 billion stock portfolio is invested in Apple. Berkshire's other top holdings? American Express, Bank of America, Coca-Cola, and Wells Fargo. Bottom line, courtesy of one analyst: "Strength in Berkshire's portfolio of energy, transportation, service, retailing, and manufacturing businesses...reflect(s) broad U.S. economic strength."

@Srecko Sostar and @Space Merchant please start a private message to each other or on each other’s walls. This thread is about a different topic. Thank you. Please learn to start new threads on new tooics.

@Microsoft has been improving in the last couple of years. I’m suprised they even responded albeit automatically though. I will forward off your complaint to someone I know over there.

I would love to hear your (non-religious) thoughts on this ongoing debate....
