Puttin’ a cap in those execs

A great article over at Salon about some new bailout rules which cap executives salaries at $500,000. My favorite section:
The critics may be right; top executives who used to make tens of millions of dollars a year may not want to stay at firms that can pay them only half a million. But if those executives didn’t expect their compensation — which is supposed to be tied, in theory, to their companies’ performance — to drop after the markets tanked last year, and didn’t plan their personal budget well enough that they could sock away a few million bucks during the fat years, do you really want them in charge of your 401K, anyway?

So I spotted this a few days ago, just now getting around to linking to it, it’s FlowingData’s animated map of the growth of Walmart across America. Really quite disturbing, honestly. Say goodbye mom & pop!
And this is why we need oversight…
