Are you a lawyer? My parents were married. Now...if we can get back to your points. Cite sources for your assertions. You say there is plenty of NY case law then cite a couple of examples. You say that small claims cases are more likel

California is weird. On the east coast (NYC in particular), things are a bit more sane in some ways and a bit crazier in others. Of course, this is all inside baseball. As a practical matter, it's HIGHLY LIKELY that this will never ge

What does Nolo say about corporations or LLCs? That's what we are talking about here. Individual people have the option of hiring a lawyer in some states but most don't. Corporations on the other hand, because they are "leg

Yup. A "legal person" like a corporation in the USA must have legal counsel to represent them in court, even small claims. Court sucks. Any lawyer will tell you that you don't want the judge making the decision for you. Th

Unless it's a corporation or other "legal person" and then they MUST have a lawyer (or principal in some states) from the company to answer the court. When they have to hire a lawyer and you don't but you know the balanc

It's going to keep happening until someone takes them to court. I hate to say it but unless you're bound by an arbitration agreement in the terms of service you should just file in small claims. Even still...file in small claims

Sue first and sue often. Really. You've already done most of the legwork on this. Now all you need to do is get this into small claims court. Trust me: once KitSplit gets that notification from the court that they're being haule

I disagree. For one thing, this is an article written by a history professor who is pitching her book: " Cigarettes, Inc.: An Intimate History of Corporate Imperialism" The term "corporate imperialism" is your first clue

We're splitting hairs here. The original article used a straw-man to impugn capitalism. That's hardly fair. For every bad faith player there are a thousand farmers (all small businesses IMHO), restaurant owners, inventors, and o

In the USA, you've got that choice. Let's try and understand that this isn't a race to see who has it worse. My point is that an academic in the arts isn't likely to possess the understanding of entrepreneurship and its

I'm not dismissing the hard work that goes into either. What I'm saying is that the risk profile isn't close to being comparable. A young tenure-track professor isn't at risk of losing their degree if they fail to achie

I actually do know how hard it is to get tenure. My point still stands. Very few academics declare bankruptcy when their businesses fail. Very few academics pour their life savings or retirement funds into their academic career only to

I think you're stretching a bit here. Without personal financial risk, there is no comparison between the two. I've seen up close how unbelievably perilous it can be to risk your personal fortune (sometimes a meager one at that)

Earn? Did NYC "earn" it's first-mover advantage, natural harbor, and particular terrestrial makeup that supports high-rise buildings on the solid granite beneath the feet of every NYC resident? Did CA "earn" it&#x27

Leaving aside the fact that different regions of the countries have different levels of comparative living costs and wealth... The simple fact is that most people ARE middle-class. The bottom income 25-30% of working-age people contribute

Remember, this is NYC. Compared to Manhattan and Brooklyn, Queens is a distant third in the running. That’s changing. People priced out of Manhattan and Brooklyn are gentrifying Queens and it’s causing grumbling among long time residents.

Meh. I’m seriously considering dumping MacOS and MacBooks in general. I can get a Lenovo X1 Extreme w/ 64GB of memory and a great display. People have Linux working on it. You can work on it yourself. I’m not sure that Apple maintai

Everyone knows that AOC was worried about the residents in her district getting priced out and moving away. It's much less certain she could hold that seat if she was forced to listen to actual middle-class families instead of the low-

I’m sorry but your comment reeks of SJW orthodoxy. What I read was a teacher describing her own experience working to try and fix a problem and discovering that nobody else involved has any interest in seeing that problem solved. Here is my

Maybe there are two sides to every story? I'm a person who looks to the future and hopes that e can find a better way forward. The company has new leaders, new employees, and a new focus on cloud. There are no losers when a 100-year o

The one thing I can't understand is why people aren't more excited about the possibility for IBM to completely transform into an open-source-forward organization. IBM does work for EVERY Fortune 100 company. I can't comment

I can't take anything in the article seriously when they call Grand Central Terminal by the incorrect "station" name. Grand Central Terminal is called that because it's the end of the rail lines that arrive there. Peopl

As a person who recently had to do this, my suggestion would be to find someone close to either your home or work. Next would be to find someone of the gender you prefer (I prefer same-sex), then find someone in the age group you're i

Is it moral to use sex to manipulate someone into giving you the things that you want? Just because it happens doesn't mean it's something that can't be construed to ALSO cause harm. I would be devastated to know that a part

BORN has nothing to do with it. Where you LIVE determines where your vote counts. And I highly doubt you've read the Constitution more times than I have. What we have in this country isn't minority rule, it's basic fairness.

Something that might take a little explaining: The US system is set up such that each state has a say in how we elect a President. The whole thing is specified by the Constitution. If you subtract out the votes of the people who live in ON

Well, in this great country, you're perfectly welcome to start your own company and distribute 95% of the shares to your first 1000 employees. Tell them they need to work for free for 4 years (or for far below market wages) in order to

If you got fired from a job that had a potential $500M payday attached to it and only got a $25M severance package at the end of it, trust me, you'd be pretty bummed about it. Go looking for CEOs that got fired and see where they land
