Thank you, vegasm, for posting about how it is to work for this company. Much as I like the fact that Hsieh is promoting downtown, his weird need to sort of control people who work for him is kind of creepy.

How far will that control go downtown?

The fact that employees MUST buy into this company's seemingly fake-happy, fake-creative "culture" and seem to be expected to make the company their lives is scary. I've wondered if there are many people who've worked there and not liked it.

Basic, simple logic: If you don't want to have religion imposed upon you, then stop trying to impose yours on others.

bof and pisces have already said it, but the more the merrier. Ms. H, you have no right to impose YOUR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS on others.

Throughout history, people have had, and continue to have, varying religious beliefs, many of them absurd. Much damage has been done due to the IMPOSITION of religious beliefs, or attempts to impose them, on others.

Would you like it if you were required to live by Sharia law? No, but you cannot see that your beliefs should not be forced upon others. How blind. "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye..."

And all that doesn't even address the misery in which many unwanted babies will live. The world is not all happy-rosy just because you want it to be. Your beloved God, it seems, will never ease the suffering of the human race. (And yet you still worship Him. Go figure.)

I think fixing humans is up to humans, and good luck with that - human nature doesn't really seem to change substantially. And, again, God doesn't seem to be helping -

Your beliefs are not facts, they are OPINIONS. You have the right to express them, not impose them on others. Thankfully, the Dark Ages ended. Let's not try to bring them back by imposing religion-based law.

Do it! Could it be more obvious that it would be a good idea? Who needs earlier light in the morning when all you're doing is getting ready to go to work?

You've got to be kidding. This is such a blatant campaign move. What's he been doing all this time? Oh, yeah, coming up with expensive schemes that haven't worked for homeowners.

Seriously, you can take this lousy president seriously? He's had his chance and blown it, and now is campaigning on what he did and failed at the first time, and you're buying it? Wow, no wonder this country is such a mess.

It is delusional to think this man is going to make the country a better place.

Forget my screen name; I'm not for him now.

Are you kidding? He has the audacity to walk in here with this too-little-too-late non-solution after how many millions or billions have been wasted on programs that don't work, and after just ignoring the homeowners and bailing out the banks?

Are there really any people that enormously stupid that they can't see this as an attempt by a useless Wall St. shill who's done nothing to try to get people here to vote for him?

Oh, yeah, and let's not forget the empty apartments already there...Corruption is so rampant in this city, and the newspapers don't even cover it, basically.

"This month, the Las Vegas City Council approved plans for 240 apartments at Casino Center and Coolidge Avenue by New York developer Barnet Liberman."

You've got to be kidding me. Here we go again. These people are so corrupt. There are dozens of nice homes for sale and rent w/in a couple of miles of downtown, at good prices, and their owners are suffering. You can't bring them back by building more and more.

Nothing like sucking up to the Congresswoman. She your pal, Mr. Greenspun? Have a little integrity, would you? What the Times published is actual journalism. Try to learn about it.
