Money 101: Sugar Babies
“How much do you want?”
(read below on how to negotiate this correctly)
- DO NOT be tempted to answer until you have more details about the arrangement’s expectations (i.e. meeting frequency, exclusive vs. open, intimate vs. platonic, online vs. physical, etc.).
- DO have HIM give you a range or the amount first. In all negotiations, it’s best to have the other party make an offer. The amount he proposes will suggest how loaded and serious he is. More importantly, it demonstrates how he values your time.
- DO NOT be fooled by his common-luxury car (BMW, Mercedes, etc.); cars, like these, can be leased for a few hundred dollars/month and are available to the common man (to fool you). The rich can easily afford cars like Ferraris, Lambos, Maseratis, etc… The BMW to the rich, is like a Honda Civic to the middle class - it’s nothing special and proves nothing except he’s probably broke making payments on his BMW to impress you.
- Also, the rich will have no problem allowing you to order whatever you want off the dinner/lunch menu. If they cringe when you order a $20 to $30 drink then they’re probably a poser. Cut your loses and keep looking.
Remember:
A rich sugar daddy will have NO PROBLEM offering an amount first, a poor sugar daddy (or wannabe) will be looking to negotiate a bargain rate (don’t fall for it). Ultimately, it’s about measuring what value he places on the relationship and you. If he’s rich, thousands of dollars in your pocket will mean more to you than it does to him. Therefore, let him offer first.
“The Republicans are, reportedly, outraged by President Obama’s opening bid in the fiscal cliff talks. Republicans always seem to be outraged. It’s getting boring. They need to step up and make a counter-offer. That’s how people negotiate.”

Palestinians reject negotiations again
(AFP)
Israel called Sunday for an immediate return to peace talks under the framework of a proposal by the Quartet — the United States, the European Union, the United Nations and Russia.
But the Jewish state said the plan included no preconditions — an interpretation the Palestinians quickly rejected.

Nba Labor Negotiations Now Turn ! http://newish.info/207453-nba-labor-negotiations-now-turn
“The United States is now reminiscent of countries that at various periods of their history have been either been paralyzed by minority extremist groups; or worse, have elected them to office. The rise of the Tea Party right is a classic case of how a small, extremist faction seizes control when the political mainstream fails to solve deep national problems. It is an amalgam of a far-right that has always hovered around one-fifth of the electorate, swollen by the frustrations of previously apolitical people. In much of Europe today, far-right populist parties now typically get 20 or 25 percent of the vote. With Europe's parliamentary and multiparty system, however, they don't get to govern, but in several countries they are now the second of third most popular party. These parties represent about the same share of public opinion as the Tea Party in the US. But in America, with our two-party system and our constitutional machinery of blockage, if a determined minority gains control of one party it can bring responsible government to a halt. That is what has now occurred, and it will color our politics between now and the 2012 election, and quite possibly beyond.”

Robert Kuttner is a reasonable man who substantiates his opinions. He is not given to hyperbole, so his alarm here demands notice.
“Philosophy isn’t a power. Religions, states, capitalism, the law, public opinion, and television are powers, but not philosophy. Philosophy may have its great internal battles (between idealism and realism, and so on), but they’re mock battles. Not being a power, philosophy can’t battle with the powers that be, but it fights a war without battles, a guerrilla campaign against them. And it can’t converse with them, it’s got nothing to tell them, nothing to communicate, and can only negotiate. Since the powers aren’t just external things, but permeate each of us, philosophy throws us all into constant negotiations with, and a guerrilla campaign against, ourselves.”

Apple Is Called Poised to Offer ‘Cloud’ Music

Analysts say Boehner's demands that Obamacare be placed on the table over negotiations to avoid the fiscal cliff indicate a very tough road ahead
huffingtonpost.comOk. I don’t see why this is being brought up as an issue. Two economic issues were discussed during the election: raising taxes on income over $250 thousand and Obamacare. True, we didn’t really delve too far into either, but both Dems and Republicans railed against both. Romney even promised to repeal Obamacare right when he entered office if elected. Obviously, the people rejected that idea when they elected Obama. Of course the White House isn’t going to go with this. Why start with conflict.
The worst part is that they aren’t making proposals to improve on the legislation by helping to bring costs down. No! They just want to repeal it outright, maybe keeping some of the more popular parts. This is completely unproductive and it’s been rejected. So why pick this fight? Because they learned nothing. Get prepared people. They’re about to double down on stupid.
“Nope, zero. John, this is it.”
—Barack Obama, according to a senior official • Informing House Speaker John Boehner that he wouldn’t be budging on Planned Parenthood — despite the fact that Boehner had fought tooth-and-nail for the policy in a White House meeting for over an hour. The meeting itself proved to be something of a watershed moment for negotiations — proving that when they need to work together, they can pull it off. As much as it hurts. “Things got heated,” said senior White House adviser David Plouffe. “The president’s approach was to try and engage all the parties to come together. Going forward this can be a model.” source (via • follow)Obama to GOP: I’m done negotiating with myself
washingtonpost.comRepublican aides are circulating their summary of the White House’s opening bid on the fiscal cliff. They’re circulating it because they believe it fleshes out Speaker John Boehner’s complaint that “the White House has to get serious.” Above all, they’re circulating it because the president isn’t offering them anything in his opening bid.
[…]
“How did it take them three weeks (and two days) to offer nothing but President Obama’s budget?” A GOP leadership aide asked me rhetorically.
We’re seeing two things here. One is that the negotiations aren’t going well. When one side begins leaking the other side’s proposals, that’s typically a bad sign. The other is that Republicans are frustrated at the new Obama they’re facing: The Obama who refuses to negotiate with himself.
