Genuine Progress Indicator

nobody@vox.com(Cheapo Groovo) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 10:59:59 -0500

Redefining Progress created the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) in 1995 as an alternative to the gross domestic product (GDP).

It takes into account crime, pollution, volunteering, housework, resource depletion, changes in leisure time, lifespan of public infrastructure, and dependence on foreign assets. Not surprisingly, we are not doing as well as the official government number shows!

Terracycle Follow-Up

I mentioned this company two years ago and now the mainstream media is all over it.

The company has set up nearly 4,000 trash-collecting brigades across the country, mostly from schools, churches and other nonprofit groups. They are paid two cents per wrapper or pouch. TerraCycle covers the cost of collection, including shipping, by securing sponsorships from the various food manufacturers; typically $150,000 to $350,000 per year depending on how many brigades are sponsored. TerraCycle then sends the trash to its factories in Mexico to be refashioned into new products for retail.

Senate Housing Bill Requires Companies to Report Transactions to the IRS

nobody@vox.com(Cheapo Groovo) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 15:46:17 -0500

These companies include banks, credit card companies, eBay, Amazon and Google! LINK (bottom of page 11)

Payment Card and Third Party Network Information Reporting. The proposal requires information reporting on payment card and third party network transactions. Payment settlement entities, including merchant acquiring banks and third party settlement organizations, or third party payment facilitators acting on their behalf, will be required to report the annual gross amount of reportable transactions to the IRS and to the participating payee. Reportable transactions include any payment card transaction and any third party network transaction. Participating payees include persons who accept a payment card as payment and third party networks who accept payment from a third party settlement organization in settlement of transactions. A payment card means any card issued pursuant to an agreement or arrangement which provides for standards and mechanisms for settling the transactions. Use of an account number or other indicia associated with a payment card will be treated in the same manner as a payment card. A de minimis exception for transactions of $10,000 or less and 200 transactions or less applies to payments by third party settlement organizations. The proposal applies to returns for calendar years beginning after December 31, 2010. Back-up withholding provisions apply to amounts paid after December 31, 2011. This proposal is estimated to raise $9.802 billion over ten years
