People- Pat Olafson is a local investor and real estate developer. In comparison to Sandy, Pat has been very financially successful. Their relationship seems to be multi-layered. Pat plays the role of bank, landlord, and client to Sandy and WoodCrafters. While not illegal, or even immoral, allowing one person, or entity, to have so much control over your business life isn’t the wisest decision. In addition, the combination of Pat’s success and Sandy’s hardships seems to have caused Sandy to be jealous of Pat’s success. It would be in Sandy’s best interest to recognize that his perception of Pat bears no significance on this negotiation. Sandy would be best served by leaving his perceptions behind and keeping his emotions in check.

Comcast has been dominating the cable industry into a suspected monopoly that has about 296.6 million customers and has spent $586 billion to do so. With the discovery of online streaming companies like Netflix were born and offer hope in ending Comcast’s rein on the cable industry as their business become obsolete.

By maximizing on this information in conjunction with their recent re-branding and superb customer service this new, improved, and imaginary Netflix will capitalize and become a larger competitor to Comcast.

Company and Situation In December 2009, Comcast announced its intent to acquire a majority stake in the media conglomerate NBC Universal from General Electric (GE). The planned acquisition was subject to scrutiny from activists and government officials; their concerns primarily surrounded the potential effects of the vertical integration that the acquisition could create, as Comcast is also heavily involved in cable television and internet services in many media markets. The deal went through, resulting in Comcast owning 51% of the company until March 2013, when GE divested its stake to give Comcast sole ownership.

The county should focus on proving that the evaluation was completely objective. The numbers are already on the side of the county and there is not concrete evidence that age had anything to do with the situation. The only problem is that in criminal law there must be clear proof that this occurred. In a civil lawsuit there normally must only be preponderance of the evidence. According to the case of Bell Atlantic Co. vs Twombly there must be more than the possibility that age discrimination occurred. The situation must also be "plausible" to demonstrate that this discrimination occurred not just a could have happened situation(Steinman,2016). The county should hire someone to mediate communications or at least be present at all meeting between
