Home/Business/Four ways consumer spending will change once more people are vaccinated
Four ways consumer spending will change once more people are vaccinated
Team Las Vegas News April 11, 2021

As more people receive the Covid-19 vaccine, corporate leaders and investors are asking themselves a new question: What will consumer spending look like next?
About a third of the U.S. population has gotten at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. Airport and store traffic is picking up. And some economists are predicting a major boom that could last for years.
Even so, the global health crisis will continue to shape consumers' mindset and their purchases.
Here are four predictions of post-pandemic trends, based on surveys and reports by experts:
Consumers are still anxious — and that may influence what they buy and how they shop.
Even after getting a jab, Americans' worries about health and safety will likely linger. The U.S. has the highest level of consumers who are "most anxious" about their health and finances and China has the lowest levels, according to a survey and analysis in January of more than 7,000 consumers across nine countries by consulting firm AlixPartners.
In the U.S., nearly one out of every three consumers reported being extremely or very concerned about physical health, and roughly one in four said they were extremely or very concerned about mental health, according to the report published in early April.
For retailers, those concerns may heighten the importance of keeping up safety protocols like having more rigorous cleaning.
Target said it will factor safety into its future store design. Chief Operating Officer John Mulligan said at an investor day in March that the retailer will include more contactless features in restrooms and other places and add more room for people to space out between merchandise and checkout lanes.
Grocery shopping may be among the pandemic's stickiest habit changes.
Home offices, curbside pickup and lots of cooking practice — all will factor into people's food shopping habits in the future.
Restaurant dining and travel will be slowest to spring back, according to AlixPartner's survey. Among U.S. consumers who reported permanently changed habits, 30% said they plan to spend more on grocery and 44% said they will spend less on dining out post-vaccine compared with what they spent in those areas before the pandemic.
General Mills CEO Jeff Harmening said many Americans used to eat at restaurants on business trips or dine in the work cafeteria. That dynamic of frequent jet-setting, frenzied commutes and lunches across the table from coworkers has faded away.
"People want flexible schedules," he told investors last week on an earnings call. "While consumers may be making vacation plans now more than they have, businesspeople are not going to be traveling as much because technology has caught up and we realize we can do a lot of things remotely."
The way people stock their pantry looks different, too. Before the health crisis, about 7% of grocery shopping was done online, according to a report by Mastercard Economics Institute. That share is expected to rise to about 9% of grocery sales in the future. If that plays out, the grocery industry will have retained 70% to 80% of the digital gains that it saw during the peak of the pandemic.
Grocers and discount stores, such as wholesale clubs and dollar stores, are predicted to show the most dramatic and permanent e-commerce gains coming out of the pandemic, according to a report by Mastercard Economics Institute.
Customers are warming up to the approach, even though there can be a trust barrier, Mastercard's chief economist Bricklin Dwyer said in a Tuesday interview on CNBC's "Worldwide Exchange."
"You have to trust someone else to pick your peaches," he said. "You have to have trust for someone else to deliver your goods and still have them good when they arrive. So that really is some of those barriers that we're crossing."
Teens and twenty-somethings may be the first wave of eager shoppers.
Young consumers want to go out again — and they're starting to spend and dress accordingly.
Similar to after the Great Recession, teen girls are leading the way as they open up their wallets after the most recent, pandemic-related recession, according to a survey of teens and twenty-somethings by Piper Sandler's 41st biannual "Taking Stock with Teens." Nearly 30% of upper-income female teens' wallets are going toward clothing — a high not seen since 2013, according to the report. Handbag spending rose to $93 per teen, an increase of 4% year over year.
Levi Strauss & Co. CEO Chip Bergh told CNBC Thursday the pandemic has inspired fashion that young customers are embracing, too. Instead of squeezing into skinny jeans, he said they want wide-leg and baggier denim.
"This is not the first time we've seen this resonating with consumers," Bergh said. "Cycles do come and go. And I think the pandemic definitely played a contributing role to consumers looking for a more comfortable, more relaxing denim."
Nearly half of the young shoppers surveyed by Piper Sandler said they intend to fly on a plane over the next six months, up from 33% in the fall.
Among the generations, Gen Z is also the most enthusiastic about spending time with people outside of their households once they get vaccinated, according to a survey of more than 15,000 people across nine countries by the IBM Institute for Business Value. Nearly 30% of Gen Z respondents said they plan to interact with other people more than they did before the pandemic, compared with Gen X and those over 55 who plan to return to pre-pandemic levels of interaction.
Contactless modes of shopping and dining will remain popular, even as the virus fades.
Shoppers may have opted for drive-thrus and curbside pickup because of safety over the past year. Yet they have discovered the convenience of the approach and that will keep them coming back as they juggle fuller calendars, commutes and carpools of kids again.
Retailers have bumped up their investments to adapt their businesses for e-commerce. Best Buy is testing stores where it devotes more square footage to fulfilling online orders than showing off flat screen TVs and smartphones. Walmart and Kroger have both announced plans to invest in automation to keep up with the volume of online grocery orders. Walmart is adding high-tech automated systems to dozens of its stores and Kroger plans to open at least 11 giant facilities with Ocado. The first two of Kroger's sheds will open in the next few weeks.
"As society has leapt into a new digital era, so has Kroger," CEO Rodney McMullen said at an investor day last week. He said the company will double its digital sales by the end of 2023.
Restaurant chains have taken the cue, too. McDonald's is closing hundreds of restaurants inside of Walmart stores and chains like Sweetgreen and Shake Shack have announced plans to add drive-thru lanes, as diners opt to order from inside of their cars. Chipotle Mexican Grill said it's accelerating plans to add more "Chipotlanes" to its footprint, too.
Even as its dining rooms open up again, Chipotle Chief Financial Officer Jack Hartung said online sales have stayed strong.
"The pandemic, of course, really put some turbocharge behind our digital business, but as we're starting to see Covid moved behind us — and we still have a ways to go — we're keeping most of that digital business, about 80%," Hartung said in an interview on CNBC's "Closing Bell" on Friday.

Port Ambonne is located in Languedoc-Roussillon.
Languedoc – Roussillon, also known as Lengadoc – Rosselhon in Occitan and Llenguadoc – Rossello in Catalan, is an important region of France that is located in the southern side of the country, having an exit to the Mediterranean Sea. This region is comprised of five departments: Audee, Gard, Herault, Lozere and Pyrenees-Orientales. It is the favourite destination of those who are in love with nature and its most popular cities are Montpellier, Carcassonne, Nimes, Perpignan, Cap D'Agde and Argeles-sur-Mer.
Those who have never been to Languedoc-Roussillon should know that this is a picturesque land, where music, literature and wine form the best combination and represent the definition of the quality time. The region of Languedoc-Rousillon played an important role on the timeline of French history. According to archaeological evidence, these lands were inhabited long before the Greeks and other civilisations existed. Many discoveries regarding the existence of this territory were made recently and point that humans were present in Languedoc thousands of years before our generation. The Greek and Phoenician people have arrived on the French territory in 600 BC, when they began to trade. The first establishment of these civilizations was called Agde. The Celts, Romans, Vandals and Visigoths attacked and occupied it during a period of time of more than a millennium. The ancient ruins are still standing and can be admired by the curious visitors of Languedoc, proving that history cannot be erased.
This French region abounds of natural treasures and hidden gems that are worth visiting by the travellers' who decide to have a magnificent journey on this side of the country. It is difficult to define the most beautiful areas of Languedoc-Rousillon, but there are a few places in this area that should not be missed. Le Canal du Midi, which is the oldest canals was built in the 17th century and has been included on UNESCO's World Heritage Site List, is one of the greatest places that combine nature with history. Also, Les Cevennes, the imposing mountains with impressive caves, the coast which is filled with wonderful beaches, marinas and high cliffs and Gorges du Tarn which form a sublime landscape, are natural attractions, unique reservations and worth seeing places.
The city of Montpellier is an impressive, old city that has gained respect and appreciation through time and represents a major touristic attraction of Languedoc. The travellers will have the opportunity to visit spectacular buildings and admire great works of architecture. Some of the main landmarks in Montpellier are Place de la Comedie, Porte de Peyrou, Le Corum or Aquadukt Saint Clement. This city represents the peak of the cultural environment and prides itself with the Cathedrale St. Pierre, Esplanade d'Europe, Basilique Notre-Dame-des-Tables, La Panacee, Chateau de la Mogere, Aqueduct de Castries, Citadelle and many others. The museums play an important role in sharing the ancient knowledge with the travellers and the rarest collections can be seen at Musee Fabre, Musee Villa Loupian, Le Pavillon Populaire, Carre Sainte-Anne and others. The tourists can also choose to spend their time while walking and admiring the Jardin des Plantes or Domaine d'O.
Active tourism is preferred by most of the tourists who are looking to spend their vacations in Languedoc-Roussillon, thanks to the perfect weather conditions during the summertime. Therefore, the visitors of this region are encouraged to participate to the wine tours, food tours, to dive, to hike or to practice nautical sports. There is an endless list of incredible locations where the water sports can be practiced and the relaxing state of mind can be reached. Argeles sur Mer, Banyuls sur Mer, Canet en Roussillon, Collioure, Gruissan, Leucate-La Franqui or Le cap d'Agde are just a few of the most fascinating places on the seaside.
Everyone is welcome to spend a distinguished vacation on the shores of the Mediterranean, within the outstanding mountain levels or within the romantic, picturesque cities.

Using LINAK® actuators has helped a French boat manufacturer improve comfort on board its vessels.
Prestige – a branch under the world-renowned yacht manufacturer Beneteau Group – has successfully introduced electric adjustment of hatches, skylights, tables and sofas on board their boats.
Utilising the fact that several LINAK® actuators come with an integrated controller (IC) has paved the way for a new and far simpler way to create parallel drive solutions. It has also enabled the manufacturer to offer shipowners more precise control and positioning.
LINAK France met with Prestige purchaser, Kelvin Cathelot, to talk about reliability, quality, sourcing the right materials, and why he thinks that LINAK actuators are so well-suited for life at sea.

When I was growing up here in the 1980s, the larger world told us we had nothing to be proud of. As Eastern Kentuckians, we knew better. We had our people, our work ethic, and our land. And we had our internationally known musicians: Loretta Lynn, Tom T. Hall, Jean Ritchie, Patty Loveless, Dwight Yoakam, many others. In our little corner of Southeastern Kentucky, we had the Phipps Family—lesser known but still a great source of pride for us.
The Music of Kentucky
Notes on the songs from our 19th Southern Music Issue CD featuring Kentucky.
This faculty, to be attuned to one's surroundings and the ways in which they're unique, to be rooted in the local, to be of a certain place—no matter if one permanently leaves it, like Richard Hell, or stays forever, like Rachel Grimes—is an elemental theme running through the Oxford American's 19th Southern Music Issue, devoted to Kentucky. It's manifest in every one of the songs and stories gathered here: the Commonwealth produces a particularly grounded cast of artists, writers, and musicians.

Hyderabad, Mar 12 (UNI) Efforts are on to bring the body of the Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist Ghulam Yazdani who was killed in an encounter in Delhi recently.
Ghulam Mustafa, the father of Yazdani, and his brother Ghulam Ahmed have left for Delhi to bring the body. The family members have decided to bury the body of Yezdani at Hayathnagar Muslim graveyard on the city outskirts here.
Mr Ghulam Mustafa has been permitted by court to perform the last rites of his son in the city. The police are also making elaborate security arrangements.
Yazdani was among the LeT's topmost activists in the country. His name figured in the Sai Baba temple blast in Dilsuknagar here a few years ago and in the recent suicide-bomber attack on Task Force Police office, a few yards away from Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy's official residence in the posh Begumpet area.

The Triumphant Liberation of the Altmark
History Hit
In February 1940 the German tanker Altmark entered neutral Norwegian waters. It was carrying 299 British prisoners, captured by the battleship Admiral Graf Spee from British merchant vessels in the Atlantic.
…cheers went up in the hold as the prisoners heard them shout "the navy's here!"
The British, believing the ship to be carrying British prisoners, demanded the vessel be searched by the Norwegians. Wary of risking their neutral status, the Norwegians reluctantly agreed.
Exploring America's response to one of the greatest humanitarian crises in history.
At the behest of the British, three inspections were carried out. But the prisoners were hidden in the ship's hold and the inspections could find no evidence of them.
Aerial reconnaissance photo of the Altmark moored in Jossing Fjord, Norway, photographed by a Lockheed Hudson of No. 18 Group prior to the Altmark Incident.
British aircraft located the Altmark on 15 February and a force, led by the destroyer HMS Cossack, was sent to pursue it. The Altmark's Norwegian escort vessels warned the Cossack they would open fire if an attempt was made to board. The Cossack's commanding officer, Captain Philip Vian, sought instructions from the British Admiralty.
In response, First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill advised him that unless the Norwegians agreed to escort the ship to Bergen in cooperation with the Royal Navy then he should board the vessel and free the prisoners. If the Norwegians opened fire then he should respond using no more force than necessary.
Over the course of his 106 years, Doctor William Frankland has experienced more than most. He served with the Royal Medical Corps during World War Two, spending more than three years as a prisoner of war of the Japanese following the fall of Singapore. After the war, his medical career focussed on the understanding and treatment of allergies.
On 16 February, apparently in an attempt to ram the Cossack, the Altmark helpfully ran aground. The British promptly boarded her. In the ensuing hand-to-hand combat, the Altmark's crew were overwhelmed. The crew from the Cossack searched the ship and cheers went up in the hold as the prisoners heard them shout "the navy's here!"
The Altmark incident was a propaganda coup for the British. But it had severe implications for Norway. The event brought their neutrality into question and Adolf Hitler intensified his planning for an invasion of Norway.

Two TV shows famous for reporting the day's news to hilarious effect may soon return to Hulu. Rumor has it that important people at both Hulu and Comedy Central are making an effort to bring "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" back to the site.
The shows were pulled in March of this year after Hulu was unable to secure the rights to keep presenting them. Reports indicated that Comedy Central wanted monetary payments in advance of whatever ad revenue episodes generated.

Q: Let $g\in C[a,b]$, $\{f_n\}$ is a sequence of continuous functions, and $f_n\to f$ uniformly. Prove $\lim_{n\to\infty}\int_a^bf_ng = \int_a^bfg$
Let $g$ be continuous on $[a,b]$. Let $\{f_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ be a sequence of continuous function, and $\{f_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ converges to $f$ uniformly on $[a,b]$. Prove that $$\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty}\int_a^bf_ng = \int_a^bfg.$$

I'm having some trouble actually proving this result. I had a general outline of what I think needs to happen, but I'm having quite a difficult time filling in the details.
Because $f_n\rightrightarrows f$ (that is, $\{f_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ converges uniformly to $f$ on $[a,b]$), we can say that given $\epsilon > 0$, there exists $N\in\mathbb N$ such that for all $n\in\mathbb N$ satisfying $n\ge N$, we have $\left|f_n-f\right|<\epsilon/\square.$ So,$$\begin{align}\left|\int_a^bf_ng-\int_a^bf\right| &= \left|\int_a^b(f_n-f)g\right|\\ & < \left|\int_a^b{\epsilon\over \square}|g|\right|\\&={\epsilon\over\square}\left|\int_a^b|g|\right|.\end{align}$$
What happens here though? Do I need to break this into cases? I can't quite make sense of what happens when $\displaystyle \left|\int_a^b|g|\right| =0$. If $\displaystyle \left|\int_a^b|g|\right| > 0$ then we're fine. That's all we need to put in the box. However, if $\displaystyle \left|\int_a^b|g|\right| = 0$, what happens exactly? Was this even the correct approach? I don't feel like I used all the assumptions.

A: Stick closer to the estimates your textbook gives you. Compare these estimates with your estimates:
$$
|\int_a^b f_n g - \int_a^b fg | \leq | \int_a^b (f_n -f)g|\le \int_a^b |f_n-f||g| \leq \int_a^b \epsilon|g| \leq C(a-b) \epsilon
$$
Where $C \geq0$ is chosen such that $|g| \leq C$. This is well defined since we have a continuous function on a compact set.
Looking at your estimate, you had to shortly explain why  $(f_n-f)g \leq \epsilon |g|$. Also, since your integrand is positive, there is no need for absolute value around the whole expression. More generally, there is the estimate:
$$
|\int_a^b f |\leq\int_a^b|f|
$$
To answer your other question:
If $\int_a^b |g|=0$ and $g$ is continuous, there must be that $g=0$. You can proof this with the help of the $\epsilon -\delta$ defintion of continuity for $|g|$ and monoticity of integrals.
Also, I dont see a problem with $g=0$. You dont need to assume $g \neq 0$ at any point. The calculation becomes trivial once you assume $g=0$.

'We Need New Names' reviewed
NoViolet Bulawayo's debut novel may not be considered a grand, sweeping novel, but it sure felt like one. We Need New Names is about Darling, a young Zimbabwean girl whose narration is honest and beautiful. Each chapter really feels like a separate short story; there is no fluidity between them other than characters and theme. This is not one story of a girl, but so many that truly define her.
The first half of the novel takes place in a town called Paradise. I've never been to Africa, but this young girls narration makes me feel like I have. The diction is in broken English. A man's penis is simply "his thing." She doesn't understand why white people smile simply by just showing their teeth for a few moments instead of with their eyes and entire face. Bulawayo, born Elizabeth Zandile Tshele, grew up in Zimbabwe and moved to America for school, much like Darling. The best part of her writing is how she doesn't shy away from how she spoke as a child. In fact, it's a major part of the book. After Darling heads to America for the second half of the book, the narration becomes more Americanized.
Subtly, the theme of home creeps up. At first Darling is determined to go visit her small country in Africa, but as the chapters pass, she doesn't seem capable of returning. The duality of her life isn't as stark as one would imagine it could be. She does go from running around shoeless with children named Godknows and Bastard to attending a private academy in Michigan. However, it's not black and white. In Zimbabwe or in Michigan, it doesn't matter. She strives for something more than is being offered. In both places she is smart, but isn't necessarily well educated on may aspects of life.
Understanding the character really does come from Bulawayo's prose. The diction shifts, but even the character's thoughts develop so genuinely over the short time we spend with her in the just under 300 page book. As the chapter's progress so do the wants and desires. Any good coming of age story should do this, but rarely do they do so with such greatness.
Out of all of the books I have read so far, this was perhaps both the most straight forward and the most uniquely written one of them all.


I am a big fan of a website called the Dailymile. I describe it to my friends as a kind of Facebook for athletes. It is a great place to share your training with others who are interested in it (my family is not always excited to hear about most recent workout). One of my favorite features is the ability to review your training in a number of ways with just a couple clicks. I have taken a few snapshots from the website to show you what I did this year.
My swimming was a little all over the place this year. I hope to keep swimming 10,000 yds per week while I train for Ironman St. George. Luckily I am a relatively strong swimmer so I can get away with three swims a week and as long as I just maintain where I am at I should have a good swim in St. George.
Once my 70.3s were all done for the year I really turned my focus from the bike to my run so that is why there is a major decrease in my miles after July. But as you can see, I am going to be focusing on my bike very heavily for the next 5 months while I prepare for Ironman St. George. I did see a lot of improvement on the bike this year, but I still have a long way to go.
And for running, I really rediscovered a love for it this year. I was able to make huge improvements in my speed and endurance which led me to Boston Qualify in October! I backed off substantially in December so I could focus on my form and hopefully that will pay off in 2012. I am really proud of doing 7 consecutive months over 100 miles!
You can see most of my race results here but the highlights of the year include completing two 70.3 triathlons (both under 6 hours), two marathons (Boston qualified in one and won my age group in the other), and finishing my first Ultra marathon (50K). I couldn't have done any of this with out the support of my family, teammates, and friends (both online and IRL). I did things this year I never thought I could do, EVAH. Here's to hoping that 2012 will be as successful and rewarding!
Click here to see the year end summary from Dailymile!
Nice looking year. 2012 will be even better.
How was Week #2 of IMSG training?
Great!!! Just did my recap and took your lead and added video!

Myerstown man sentenced for theft, drugs
A 19-year-old Myerstown man was sentenced to state prison Wednesday for stealing a vehicle and other offenses.
Myerstown man sentenced for theft, drugs A 19-year-old Myerstown man was sentenced to state prison Wednesday for stealing a vehicle and other offenses. Check out this story on ldnews.com: https://ldne.ws/26vpnfg
Les Stewart, lesstewart@ldnews.com Published 6:17 p.m. ET April 27, 2016 | Updated 6:35 p.m. ET April 27, 2016
Tristan Artz was also sentenced for driving through a yard in Myerstown last July 24
File Photo(Photo: Monkey Business Images Ltd, Getty Images)
Police said Artz and a 15-year-old boy stole a Ford Expedition in Myerstown last summer.
They ditched the vehicle in a wooded creek bed beside a business near 1300 Hilltop Road, police said.
Artz was also sentenced for two arrests for driving under the influence of marijuana.
Judge Charles T. Jones Jr. sentenced Tristan R. Artz, 1708 Railroad St., to state prison for one to five years and ordered him to pay fines totaling $4,700 for theft, conspiracy, theft from a motor vehicle, agricultural vandalism, possession of drug paraphernalia, and two counts each of driving under the influence of marijuana and possession of a small amount of marijuana.
Artz was charged with stealing a vehicle, taking an item from another vehicle and damaging a yard in Myerstown on July 24 last year. Artz and a 15-year-old boy stole a 1999 Ford Expedition in the 300 block of South Locust Street, did burnouts on the front lawns of residences along Hilltop Road, as well as a cornfield on Woleber Road in Jackson, police said.
The two then ditched the Expedition in a wooded creek bed beside a business near 1300 Hilltop Road, according to police. The vehicle was found by the business owner and reported to police.
He was also sentenced for driving under the influence of marijuana and other drug offenses when he was stopped by state police on July 9, 2015, at Richland Avenue and Quarry Road in Jackson Township and on July 14, 2015, at Maple and Cherry streets in Myerstown.
In other cases before Jones on Wednesday:

[ARCHIVED] Burlington County to mark Juneteenth with volunteer cleanup at Dr. James Still Education Center
Burlington County will host a volunteer cleanup at the site of one of our County's most important and celebrated Black American historical figures this month on the eve of Juneteenth.
The cleanup will be held from 10 AM to noon on June 18 at the Dr. James Still Historic Office and Education Center, 211 Church Road, Medford, and will mark the first service project undertaken in honor of the important holiday.
"Burlington County has a long history of being at the forefront in the fight for equality. In fact, our county was once known as the 'Cradle of Emancipation' because of the influence of the many abolitionist leaders from the county and the numbers stops on the Underground Railroad that were located here," said Commissioner Director Felicia Hopson. "Our Board is extraordinarily proud of that legacy and we're doing our part to draw more attention to it, even as we continue to work to achieve a real and lasting equality for all."
"Performing a service on the day before Juneteenth at the education center dedicated to the life and legacy of one of our county's most important historical figures is another way we can recognize the contributions of Black Americans to our nation's history," Hopson added.
Dr. Still was born in 1812 in Shamong and was the son of two former slaves. He was largely self-educated but would become one of the wealthiest landowners in Burlington County and became known as the "Black Doctor of the Pines" because of his successful medical practice featuring natural herbal remedies. He treated hundreds of patients, curing some, it was said that licensed doctors could not heal.
The Education Center in Medford is the preserved site of Dr. Still's medical office. It was purchased by the State of New Jersey in 2006 with the intention of restoring it to how it appeared in the 1800s when Dr. Still operate his medical practice. It was the first African-American historic site purchased with New Jersey Green Acres funding.
The education center dedicated to Dr. Still's life was created in 2013 at the Bunning Farm, which sites to the east of the Still property. In 2017, the Dr. James Still Nature Walk was created on the farm by a group of Boy Scouts so that visitors could explore nature as Dr. Still did. The center has also recently acquired a new building to house its public exhibits.
The trail and the center's new building will be the focus of the June 18 cleanup and we encourage residents to volunteer. Residents interested in volunteering should contact news@co.burlington.nj.us

The Truth About CEO Compensation
The Fool reveals how it really feels about this controversial topic.
Alyce Lomax
(TMFLomax)
Apr 2, 2007 at 12:00AM
Protection from the press? A special minimum wage just for CEOs? No repercussions for CEOs related to options backdating or shady accounting practices?
Are you kidding us?
In case it hasn't hit you yet, our proposal of mock legislation that advocates having CEOs make mad money and enjoy unheard-of protections is, in fact, our annual April Fool's Day prank. Some of you may have figured out our joke, especially if you looked at the date on your calendar yesterday. Others might have wondered what had happened to The Motley Fool they have known for years -- it was never Foolish to accept blatant abuse of shareholder money for the aggrandizement and personal enrichment of CEOs.
We got both reactions -- as well as some seemingly genuine support for our fake bill -- in our email inbox for the prank. (We asked Fools to email us at CEORights@fool.com.)
One particularly agitated and outraged reader replied to a question we posed: "What have we left out of the CEO Bill of Rights?"
"How about respect for your readership?? Common sense?? Integrity?? ... Rather than waste any more time with The Motley Fool, I will concentrate my efforts on making others aware of this nonsense and work actively against it. I have forwarded the link to this legislation on to friends and colleagues -- many of whom are 'activist ninnies' and like-minded media outlets."
Another very unhappy reader replied:
"Since when does the 'underappreciated 100 times the average worker' CEO need your help? Are you serious? Now I know where your loyalties lie, Mr. Gardners."
Others told us that they were disappointed in us, ashamed of us, and angry with us; that we'd "sold out" and "truly lost (our) minds."
Some Fools, though, got the joke and wrote us with suggestions for additions to the bill, including the requirement that CEOs "be addressed, while kneeling, by the title 'Most Exalted and Omnipotent Oracle of Capitalism.'"
Another Fool told us he was with us all the way and lamented, "How can Bob Nardelli exist on his meager severance?"
A Fool from Switzerland wasn't fooled and applauded the true intent behind the joke: "You stand for fairness and investors' rights, not for greedy (criminal at times) underperforming executives. Our role model is Warren Buffett, NOT Joseph Nacchio or Frank Quattrone! That's the main reason why I am a proud member."
And, yes, we did get more emails than you might think actually supporting the bill. We won't embarrass those folks by posting excerpts from their emails here, but we will certainly implore them to read on and learn why our joke was just that.
Compensation in the crosshairs
CEO compensation is one heck of a major news item this year, and it gives us a great opportunity to educate, amuse, and enrich individual investors regarding an important topic . So how could we not address it for our annual prank this time around?
CEO compensation is currently in our collective crosshairs, with government officials joining the cacophony of outrage that many investors feel when it comes to how much some corporate leaders are paid. Government has responded, with the SEC enforcing new accounting and disclosure rules, and U.S. Rep. Barney Frank introducing H.R. 1257, The Shareholder Vote on Executive Compensation Act, also known as the "say on pay" bill. That bill -- which has been passed by a House of Representatives committee and sent on to the full House -- seeks to give shareholders nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation policies at their companies, as well as an additional nonbinding advisory vote on golden parachutes being negotiated when their companies are in the midst of mergers and acquisitions.
It's clear that many shareholders, including both individual investors and big organizations such as TIAA-CREF, have just about had it with some of the ways their money is used, and without any say in the matter. The trend of offering massive severance packages to outgoing CEOs seems to have been the final straw for many people.
Home Depot's (NYSE:HD) Bob Nardelli may have left his top post steeped in shareholder ire, but still he was rewarded handsomely with a $200 million severance package. And Pfizer's (NYSE:PFE) Hank McKinnel walked away with close to $200 million himself, following a six-year stint as CEO that saw the company's shares drop about 30%. It gives a new meaning to the saying "You'll never work in this town again!" Hey, you might not have to work again.
Furthermore, for CEOs who aren't on the outs, linking pay to performance is certainly a good idea. Most of us operate on the idea that how well we perform our jobs is commensurate with our compensation. Is it really so crazy to think that CEOs should be any different? While most of us wouldn't argue over the salary of a CEO who has produced great shareholder returns during his or her tenure, it's a whole other matter when a chief executive is paid copious amounts of money, but generates little in the way of return.
Those $1 pay packages you sometimes hear about may be nice gestures (not to mention positive PR), but people often forget that many supposedly "low-paid" CEOs get exorbitant stock packages. (New accounting and disclosure rules from the SEC should help investors more easily sort out exactly who's getting what when it comes to stock and perks.) For example, Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) Steve Jobs is one of those CEOs who gets paid a buck a year, but let's not forget his millions of dollars' worth of restricted stock.
(Whole Foods Market's (NASDAQ:WFMI) John Mackey is a notable exception. Not only was he historically very modestly paid by most standards of CEO salaries, but he has now decided to take $1 per year in salary and has decided to donate future stock options to the company's charity.)
Of course, when it comes to stealthier compensation, let's not forget shenanigans like stock-option backdating.
Huge, ongoing retirement packages have drawn considerable shareholder attention, too. General Electric's (NYSE:GE) Jack Welch may be one of the best-known corporate managers around, but the company got itself into hot water for not disclosing some of his post-retirement benefits. Did it really make sense to grant him a corporate apartment and lifetime personal use of the company jet? Welch did agree to give up the controversial extras after they came to light, but there's something a bit "dynastic" about this idea that former CEOs should enjoy certain corporate perks for life.
Well-known investing minds such as Vanguard founder Jack Bogle and Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE:BRK-A) Warren Buffett have been critical of runaway executive compensation. Compounding the problem, it's easy for cronyism to develop as the board members charged with looking out for shareholder interests instead approve massive pay increases for CEOs. All too often, since many of the board members are CEOs at other companies, upping the ante on CEO pay ends up benefitting them as well.
People who argue that the free market takes care of all things, including justifying exorbitant pay for chief executives, forget one important point. For free markets to work properly, information must flow freely, so that consumers -- and shareholders -- know what they are buying and selling. Furthermore, when people act without responsibility or ethics, they tarnish and endanger capitalism. Runaway compensation is an abuse of power. It invites shareholders to cry foul, which can ultimately result in calls for stringent regulation.
While CEOs fulfill very important roles, they should remember that they are employees, too. They must answer to shareholders, instead of their own greed and hubris.
If you read some of the following Foolish articles from the past year, you'll see why our April Fool's prank was such a good joke:

By day, Kuan Onn Tim Sum is a famous place for Penang Koay Teow Soup, by night, it is a place for Hokkien Noodle, Wat Tan Ho as well as Penang Lobak. Apart from its signature Hokkien Noodle, the restaurant also served simple Chinese food as a reasonable cheap price.
The Pork Ribs King is made from de-bone pork ribs, deep-fried till golden brown, coated with sweet and sourish sauce. Its appetizingly good flavours goes really well with rice.
Sabah vegetables cooked with pork, carrot and egg in superior broth is a home-cooked style dish. It is a simple yet delicious dish.
The Lobak which consists of assorted deep fried products (you can pick your own favourite items) served with homemade sweet and spicy sauce is a delicious dish you can find in the restaurant. One of the highly recommended item is the Five-Spice Meat Roll which was crispy on the outside while flavourful and aromatic inside.


The image of a pale-skinned, flame-haired Bowie on the cover of Young Americans inspired Matt Piacentini of New York's Up & Up to conjure a blend of gin and orange bitters that, with the addition of Champagne and a sugar cube, will let off a swirling stream of bubbles that mirrors Bowie's cigarette smoke.
Put sugar cube in a coupe glass and soak first with Peychaud's bitters, and then with orange bitters. Stir gin and Curaçao with ice, and gently strain into coupe, trying not to dissipate bitters too much. Top with Champagne. Express a lemon peel over the top and discard.

Q: How is Pauli's exclusion principle valid for electrons of two hydrogen atoms in ground state, having same spin? Suppose we have two hydrogen atoms in the ground state with spin of both electrons pointing upwards. Then the two electrons are in the same state. This should be against the exclusion principle.
Now suppose we have 1 mole of hydrogen atoms in a chamber. Certainly, most of them will be in the ground state (at sufficiently low temperature), and among any three of those in the ground state, at least two will have spin in the same directions, hence the two electrons are in the same state. How is the exclusion principle valid for those two electrons?
My doubt is mostly about which parameters determine a "state". Suppose two different hydrogen atoms having the same quantum numbers are in different points in space. Are the two electrons in the same state?

A: *

*You can't create two electrons with the same momentum, because you can't create even a single electron with a particular, exact momentum. You can create an electron whose spatial wavefunction contains an arbitrarily narrow distribution of momenta, but then the distribution over spatial locations will be very broad. Independent of this, if they are localized in different regions of space, then their spatial states are different.

*Assuming the electrons in different H atoms are bound to distinct nucleii, their states will be distinct because of this. In principle, though, if we ignore the nucleii and just put a lot of electrons in a box at low T, we can get a degenerate Fermi gas in which the exclusion principle does matter. The situation is more complicated when nucleii are involved.

*The spatial state of any particle is part of its state with regard to the exclusion principle, so no, two electrons in two different atoms are never in the same state. Often we focus on their atomic (orbital+spin) states, and people often just call these the "states," but with regard to the Pauli exclusion principle, the spatial state definitely also matters.

A: A quantum state includes the information about a particle's position. Two particles with the same quantum numbers at different locations are in different states, so are allowed by the exclusion principle.

A: If you can say they are in different parts of the Universe, then that means you do have position information, even if only a small amount, which means that there is also less momentum information, even if such may be quite ample. It also means that they thus cannot be attributed the same quantum state. Hence, Pauli does not forbid it.
Two electrons with perfect momentum information would, indeed, have no position information at all, and thus would be totally unconnected to any sense of place within the Universe, totally harring all throughout. And if those maximal-information momenta were equal, indeed, Pauli would exclude that.

A: The spatial part of the wave function is part of the state.
Two electrons in the same isolated atom have the same spatial part of their state, hence can be subject to the exclusion principle. Two in well-separated atoms don't have the same spatial wave function, hence can't be in the same state, hence are not subject to the exclusion principle.
It can get complicated with overlapping cases, I.e. in chemical bonds, and when the electrons have a historical connection leading to entanglement.  But in the simple cases in the question, separated electrons have different spatial parts to their state, hence are not in the same state.
