Pseudoscience is fairly common amongst all these posts. HR is a pseudo science, as is quantitative or behavioural economics. And as for "management science" ...
I remember when the Human Remains department were limited to payroll ...
Not really. Krugman's article is a longish piece on the recent state of economics; DeLong reckons that it is not as bad as that. Jim is an estate agent who makes funny videos in a deadpan style. Juan Cole is talking about military supply lines; he argues that you need to know about them to explain some recent events. Deus Ex Macchiato is making a somewhat commonplace remark that most of us in a big company have made at some point, just better, and he takes the thought further. Limerick is referring to exo- and endoskeletons as a poetic and interesting metaphor about artistic endeavours of all kinds.
Realtor Jim survives another close shave with death. Lured out of his downtown patch to a deserted house out in the sticks for a "business opportunity", beyond the help of any Mapquest/TomTom, where only coyotes and err ice cream vans roam. Wasn't the name "Hell Hole Canyon" a dead giveaway??? Not to our hardboiled Jim, it ain't.
@Game Cat, I thought you would enjoy that one. ;))
