couple of years ago now, when the name 'Nino Marchesi' could have been heard in the Gilded Cage. Not up in the front of the house, of course, where Vinnie's beloved girl sang her songs and customers put out hard-earned dollars that would end up in the coffers of the mob. No. Instead Nino's name was reserved for the back rooms and only a select few lips. Vinnie would light up a nice, fat cigar and take a few puffs on it while letting the smoke drift around under the lights of that dark back…

A six hour workday should not become standard in the United States. There are a few reasons for this, which will be discussed in this essay. The author of the first paragraph brings the factories of Henry Ford as an example. The author wants to say that the increase of productivity in Ford's workers after a cut in work hours is a proof that shortening the workday is helpful. But if you take into account the differences in these instances, we can see the discrepancy. The two cases are wildly…

Business Myths: Part 1 There are many myths about starting a business. Most people think that starting a business on their own would be a cinch; that working for yourself is a fast way to get rich. Other people think that they just can’t do it on their own, or that their business idea is illogical or stupid. You really have to think hard about starting a new business; but thinking you can’t do something just because you have heard rumors and myths that intimidate you will only lead to…

be. Only difference is, women are not suspected of anything as quick as men. Another point of view on Dame Alice, is on marriage. “Blessed be God that I wedded five! And they were the best that I could pick out, both in their bodies and of their coffers.” (48-50) Throughout, the story many women would have been ashamed of marrying so many men, because they were nuns and could not do such…

Craig Newmark launched the website that bears his name in 1995. Since then, Craigslist has turned the classified ad market upside down, draining billions of dollars from newspaper coffers while saving consumers a mint. However, consumers have also lost plenty of money through Craigslist, typically falling for one scam or another that has extracted hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars from them. Here’s a sample of the Craigslist car scams that have been perpetuated and how best to avoid each…

Dare to D.A.R.E “D.A.R.E, which costs approximately $220 million a year (including $1.75 million in taxpayer funding), is by far the most popular anti-drug program in American schools. About 75 percent of school districts use it.”(Sager, pg 1) Most parents and school officials see this “anti-drug” program to be extremely effective and hold it in high praise. However these admirations are all in vain. The dare program has done more to hurt a communities’ youth than to help it. This program…

collection being in debate between daily and monthly(McGinn 264). With such a large number of prostitutes in Rome, roughly 32,000 in Rome alone (Gruber, Kehler, and Lipozencic 4), this tax would have gathered incredible amounts of revenue for the state coffers, presumably the primary reason for instituting such a tax. It has been argued that by imposing such a tax on prostitution the government was, in effect, establishing the legitimacy of sexual work as a form of business, and whether…

Economics is a relatively new science. At first, there was no need for the study of Economics because everything belonged to the king. In 1776 Adam Smith wrote the famous book "The Wealth of Nations" and that book was the beginning of classical economics. It is quite ironic that the beginning of economic study was the same year as the American independence. Mr. Smith had the idea that individuals would always do what is best for themselves, and because of this, the cumulative result would be…

uses rhetorical questions to get the pulpit to agree that if Caesar were still alive, he would be a tyrant. Mark Antony uses a fact to get the audience to agree with him. "He hath brought many captives home to Rome/ Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:/ Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?" (16-18 IIIii). He uses a past event as a disclaimer to Brutus' reason for killing Caesar because of his ambition. He then asks the pulpit this question to get them to think about which claim they…

The pink tax repeal is nothing but a political stunt by the Democratic party meant to distract from the anti-woman policies they secretly push, as proposed by Patrick Gleason in his article, “The phony feminism of tampon tax repeal”. In 2016, thirteen states began the process of removing the sales tax from menstrual products, on the premise that women face injustices because of this tax. Through his use of facts and statistics about the pink tax and other Democratic policies, Gleason urges a…
