In America you can be armed, just not with the facts. ~ Bill Maher
Consumer Protections quotes by Bill Maher
Opponents of health care reform would take away consumer protections - siding with the insurance industry instead of the middle class. We can't afford that. ~ Sander Levin
Consumer Protections quotes by Sander Levin
Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. The iMac is not just the color or translucence or the shape of the shell. The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer in which each element plays together. ~ Steve Jobs
Consumer Protections quotes by Steve Jobs
The conventional way of understanding taste, according to Distinction, is to view it as a capacity for aesthetic judgments in areas such as music, art, and literature. Though rarely made explicit, it is well understood that taste can be found only among the elite, and that the lower classes lack it. Bourdieu argues that it is imperative to break with this concept of taste and replace it with one that is sociological in nature. In order to do so, Bourdieu expands the concept of taste from including only "aesthetic consumption" to including "ordinary consumption," that is, the consumption of clothing, furniture, and food ([1979] 1986:100). He also extends the concept of taste to all social classes, and shows that what constitutes "good taste" is very much part of the struggle for domination in society. ~ Richard Swedberg
Consumer Protections quotes by Richard Swedberg
Setting an aggressive enough carbon-reduction goal will result in an appropriate price for carbon and will help many a renewable technology. Consumer education will help. Most importantly, though, will be the continually declining cost trajectory of the real breakthrough in clean-technology costs driven by research and innovation. In the end, private capital is the real barometer of change. ~ Vinod Khosla
Consumer Protections quotes by Vinod Khosla
Currently there's no other way to get a movie into 3,000 theaters except with a studio. We have a first-look deal with Universal, and it's been fun to work with them. But studios are a part of our life. I think they'll always be, but they'll play a different role. The consumer and the creator are getting closer together. ~ Jason Blum
Consumer Protections quotes by Jason Blum
We should assume that the end product can be switched off by any consumer who is offended or frightened by it. ~ Richard King
Consumer Protections quotes by Richard King
The comfortable life is a slippery slope toward the consumer life. ~ Mark Sundeen
Consumer Protections quotes by Mark Sundeen
Even beyond the Middle East, the role of the independent women remains as warped as a Lewis Caroll novel. We may control $12 trillion of the world's $184 trillion in annual consumer spending (I read it in Newsweek), and yet our self-worth apparently ccomes in a shampoo bottle ("because you're worth it"). ~ Amy Mowafi
Consumer Protections quotes by Amy Mowafi
The "consumer loan" piles that Wall Street firms, led by Goldman Sachs, asked AIG FP to insure went from being 2 percent subprime mortgages to being 95 percent subprime mortgages. In a matter of months, AIG FP, in effect, bought $50 billion in triple-B-rated subprime mortgage bonds by insuring them against default. ~ Michael Lewis
Consumer Protections quotes by Michael Lewis
Yahoo is a battleship. If you've ever seen a battleship, they're gigantic, and Yahoo is gigantic in the terms of consumer Internet companies. To turn a battleship takes a long time, but once you turn that battle ship the right way, it's a battleship, and it can really inflict some damage on an enemy or competition. ~ Ross Levinsohn
Consumer Protections quotes by Ross Levinsohn
Undoubtedly, the best way for a consumer to have a good time in the 2010s was to turn to Korean products: for a car, Kia and Hyundai; for electronics, LG and Samsung. ~ Michel Houellebecq
Consumer Protections quotes by Michel Houellebecq
Of course I'm troubled by huge consumer debt levels - we've pushed consumer credit very hard in the US. Eventually, if it keeps growing, it will stop growing. As Herb Stein said, "If something cannot go on forever, it will stop." When it stops, it may be unpleasant. Other than Herb Stein's quote, I have no comment. But the things that trouble you are troubling me. ~ Charlie Munger
Consumer Protections quotes by Charlie Munger
Content has always driven the business. Now it's no longer the queen to a king of distribution; it is the king, king, king, because the consumer has complete choice. ~ Michael Eisner
Consumer Protections quotes by Michael Eisner
I do still read comics since I started writing for DC, but nowhere near as much as I used to, and I'm finding now that it's becoming harder to read comics as a consumer, so I think I'll have to make the call there and stop reading them. ~ Karen Traviss
Consumer Protections quotes by Karen Traviss
When you don't get rid of things you aren't using, you are blinding yourself to a critical part of the consumer experience: what happens to things when you're done with them. When you have the habit of periodically getting rid of things you aren't using anymore, your brain begins to create links between the beginning (buying) and the end (selling) of all of your stuff. ~ Tynan
Consumer Protections quotes by Tynan
Joshua Joseph has no real hatred of modern technology - he just mistrusts the effortless, textureless surfaces, and the ease with which it trains you to do things in the way most convenient to the machine. Above all, he mistrusts duplication. A rare thing becomes a commonplace thing. A skill becomes a feature. The end is more important than the means. The child of the soul gives place to a product of the system ... For anything really important, Joe prefers something with a history, an item which can name the hand which assembled it and will warm to the one that deploys it. A thing of life, rather than one of the many consumer items which humans use to make more clutter; strange parasitic devices with their own little ecosystems. ~ Nick Harkaway
Consumer Protections quotes by Nick Harkaway
I'd probably play games obsessively if I didn't write, although I admit I don't read novels partly because I don't enjoy it, not just because it's the wrong side of the creator-consumer barrier for me. I'm a visual writer. I think in moving 3D images and write down what I observe. ~ Karen Traviss
Consumer Protections quotes by Karen Traviss
If the life-supporting ecosystems of the planet are to survive for future generations, the consumer society will have to dramatically curtail its use of resources - partly by shifting to high-quality, low-input durable goods and partly by seeking fulfillment through leisure, human relationships, and other nonmaterial avenues. We in the consumer society will have to live a technologically sophisticated version of the life-style currently practiced lower on the economic ladder. ~ Alan Thein Durning
Consumer Protections quotes by Alan Thein Durning
Laws that require equal protections reinforce the moral imperative of equality. ~ Hillary Clinton
Consumer Protections quotes by Hillary Clinton
I was one of the many millions to misunderstand what is wild. I have read authors' definitions of "wild" as any place you can walk for a week witthout meeting a road or fence. But I think that is a narrow view, a consumer view, a transactional perspective that expects a landscape to give us the sense of wilderness in return for our travel. It is one I subscribed to for many years, which is partly why I found myself in those places, but now I see it as lazy. A sense of wild is engendered by awareness, a sense of connection with and deep understanding of any landscape. The pavement of any city side street wriggles with enough life to terrify and delight us if we choose to immerse ourselves in it ~ Tristan Gooley
Consumer Protections quotes by Tristan Gooley
Facebook draws from the public and public-interest sphere, a simultaneously bold and modest step towards acknowledging that our new networked technologies deeply affect our lives in ways not always captured or best shaped by the typical template of consumer and seller. ~ Jonathan Zittrain
Consumer Protections quotes by Jonathan Zittrain
People enjoy our meat and our poultry, as I do as a consumer. ~ Mike Johanns
Consumer Protections quotes by Mike Johanns
As a business leader you have to ask yourself, "Am I creating a consumer environment that is conducive to loyalty?" If the answer is no, FIX IT! ~ Steve Maraboli
Consumer Protections quotes by Steve Maraboli
The advantage of the consumer businesses is they tend to be much broader-based, much larger number of customers, that tend to over time be a lot more predictable. The advantage of the enterprise companies is they are not as subject to consumer trend, fad, behavior. ~ Marc Andreesen
Consumer Protections quotes by Marc Andreesen
Perhaps you are thinking: 'But a tank costs several million dollars, not including floor mats. I don't have that kind of money.'
Don't be silly. You're a consumer, right? You have credit cards, right?
Perhaps you are thinking: 'Yes, but how am I going to pay the credit-card company?'
Don't be silly. You have a tank, right? ~ Dave Barry
Consumer Protections quotes by Dave Barry
Our brain is a circuit board with neurons and terminals ready to be wired. We are born free, then programmed to obey our parents, to tell the truth, pass exams, pursue and achieve, love and propagate, age and fade unfulfilled and uncertain what it has all been for. We swallow the operating system with our mother's milk and sleepwalk into the forest of consumer illusion craving shoes, houses, cars, magazines, experiences that endorse our preconceived dreams and opinions. We grow into our parents. We becomes clones, robots, matchstick men thinking and saying the same, feeling the same, behaving the same, appreciating in books and films and art shows those things we already recognize and understand. ~ Chloe Thurlow
Consumer Protections quotes by Chloe Thurlow
I wish to be a product not a consumer. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Consumer Protections quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
For a consumer society thrives by stoking unquenchable desires into unsustainable cravings and fanning them with an inflated rage for rights. The restlessness it creates by providing false satisfactions and deadening true desires simultaneously fuels the economy and destroys happiness. ~ Os Guinness
Consumer Protections quotes by Os Guinness
It's as if we pull up to the end of the world,
throw the car doors wide and tumble out
to consumer the view..."
- from "Ten Mile Point ~ Ingrid Ruthig
Consumer Protections quotes by Ingrid Ruthig
I'm for anything that lets people come here to work legally. There are more protections for workers who are here legally than for those who are not. It's also safer for the workers and employers have a more consistent pool of workers. ~ Larry Craig
Consumer Protections quotes by Larry Craig
We used to think that everything started in the lab. Now we realize that everything spins off the consumer. ~ Phil Knight
Consumer Protections quotes by Phil Knight
Firstly, should we be selling and buying irradiated meat? I think that's up to the consumer, ultimately. But the second point is, this irradiated meat should be clearly and unmistakably labeled as irradiated meat. ~ Eric Schlosser
Consumer Protections quotes by Eric Schlosser
Shallowness and ignorance have been our lot in the mass consumer societies we inhabit, where we were too distracted to act politically, apart from periodically deputing political elites to take life-and-death decisions on our behalf. ~ Pankaj Mishra
Consumer Protections quotes by Pankaj Mishra
In a policy shift which the historian Guy de la Bedoyere has compared with Western Imperialism, the Romans converted militant Britons to their way of life with consumer entincements, introducing them to the urbane pleasures of hot spas and fine dining, encouraging them to wear togas and speak Latin. ~ Catharine Arnold
Consumer Protections quotes by Catharine Arnold
But if you really learn how to pay attention, then you will know there are other options. It will actually be within your power to experience a crowded, hot, slow, consumer-hell type situation as not only meaningful, but sacred, on fire with the same force that made the stars: love, fellowship, the mystical oneness of all things deep down. ~ David Foster Wallace
Consumer Protections quotes by David Foster Wallace
The thing about HD-DVD that is attractive to Microsoft is that it's very pro-consumer in letting you copy all movies up onto the hard disk. ~ Bill Gates
Consumer Protections quotes by Bill Gates
Maybe there are moments between any two adults in love when the age of one of them dissolves before the other's eyes, when the first refuge of the soul at its creation is laid bare and skinless as a sunbeam through a window. Innocence and vulnerability, two unmeasurable quantities ... Perhaps that is the essence of the protection's intimacy, that it dwells in camouflage and justifies itself in stillness. ~ Marianne Wiggins
Consumer Protections quotes by Marianne Wiggins
What's the return on investment of college? What's the return on investment of having children, spending time with friends, listening to music, reading a book? The things that are most worth doing are worth doing for their own sake. Anyone who tells you that the sole purpose of education is the acquisition of negotiable skills is attempting to reduce you to a productive employee at work, a gullible consumer in the market, and a docile subject of the state. What's at stake, when we ask what college is for, is nothing less than our ability to remain fully human. ~ William Deresiewicz
Consumer Protections quotes by William Deresiewicz
There is also a concern that there is a lack of demand of oil. And so when commodity prices fall, it's good if you happen to be a consumer, but it's sometimes seen as symptom of a weakening economy. ~ David Wessel
Consumer Protections quotes by David Wessel
When we think about even the PC market and what is required in the student as well as in the consumer market, we want to be able to compete in the opening price point. ~ Satya Nadella
Consumer Protections quotes by Satya Nadella
