this article is about the new forbes magazines top 400 rishest americans. among these 400 is mark zuckerberg. he has the highest growth percentage wise out of all 400 billionaires. he nearly tripled his fortune to 6.9 billion. he however was not the youngest billionaire for his roomate in collge dustin moskovitz and co founder of facebook is 8 days younger so therefore americas youngest billionaire.
i think its awesome that people are becoming richer earlier especially when they are self earned billionaires which just means they didnt inherate their fortun, they earned it.

mcdonalds=death

this ad talks about how mcdonalds' unhealthy food is the cause of a mans death in a new ad commericial. the commercial shows a dead man with a burger in his hand and golden arches at his feet saying i was lovin it. mcdonalds is pissed because they believe that the company is just scaring people into eating healthier and not giving the people a whole view of nutrition. i think that the ad is fare. if mcdonalds can advertise to sway you into eating their food, which is unhealthy, then the other company should be able to advertise eating healthier.

Holiday Weekend Gas Prices

this article is about the raising of gas prices around the country for the holiday weekend. the prices went up because so many people travel and go places but the necessity for gas remains. gas stations look at it two ways. one way is well if a lot of people are going to travel and need gas then they will buy it no matter the cost. another way they look at is that the more gas being used up in a shorter amount of time leads to a decrease in their storage tanks therefore they raise the prices to compensate for the loss. i think gas prices will eventually go down as the economy picks up or if it ever picks up.
