Interest rates

WarrenOutsky, Why do you keep removing any mention of high interest rates as aiding the rise of structured settlements? What evidence do you have that high interest rates had an effect is irrelevant or false? On the history page you give "unsourced information". So what? Wikipedia has lots of unsourced information. There are even *entire* articles with no sourced information. More important is whether or not what appears on Wikipedia is *true*.

I worked for a life insurance company in the early and mid 1980's in charge of pricing structured settlement annuity contracts. I was well aware of the level of interest rates competitors were using, too. I spoke to claim adjusters who were well aware of (1) the appeal of deferred payments vis-as-vis lump sum settlements, and (2) the effect of high interest rates on deferred payments. My adding higher interest rates is solidly based on my personal experience.

I appreciate the input, but should discuss on the article's page. That way other editors can weigh in.Warren (talk) 17:21, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

McDonaldization

Hello, I'm 69.62.243.48. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to McDonaldization seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 69.62.243.48 (talk) 23:36, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, but what was not neutral? I don't get it. Me agreeing that she was interesting? Warren (talk) 19:02, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Yes, it's not Wikipedia's job to characterize people. 69.62.243.48 (talk) 05:17, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Alrighty then please don't characterize me. Ha HaWarren (talk) 17:35, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Pnyx may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
