wpt article (Oct 13 2003 05:59 GMT) - Decent article on the World Poker Tour and Lyle Berman's Lakes Entertainment, the company behind the WPT. It focuses on how much impact the WPT has had on the popularity of poker, as well as some interesting facts about Lakes and Berman.The World Poker Tour has "turned the poker world upside down," said Randy Sampson, president and CEO of Canterbury Park in Shakopee, where poker revenue is up more than 40 percent since the WPT debuted this spring.Link Comments (0) |

- One of the particularly poignant ironies of the failure of universal health care in the United States is that the conservative forces who opposed the plan have done much more than any communist organizers could ever dream to destablize and disrupt our own economy. I suspect that as employers face the reality of increased health care costs for their workers, and more workers either organize or strike to maintain benefits, there will be a growing understanding amongst the corporate class that the "liberal" approach, though bordering on socialism, makes a more stable and predictable environment for capitalism to flourish. Which is such a basic tenet of business - economies of scale - that you would have thought that enough businesses that are not insurance businesses would have banded together to win the issue. Even insurance industry employees would benefit, eventually, as dollars tied up in generating profit for a basic human need are spent and distributed in different areas of the economy. That's something that kills me about the ideological marketing we feed on every day - that so many of the "products" we consume that we "buy" into as personal "liberties" are what imprison us. |
