There are strong incentives in higher income brackets for tax purposes and such. In the lower/minimum wage sphere, marriage can have the opposite effect. You can loose access to various government programs such as food stamps because

More and more very highly esteemed journalists, not pundits, are starting to voice their concerns about this more and more publicly. At the same rate they are being censored. I wouldn't be surprised if Snowden gets a pardon before inau

The HN community is using political speech guidelines to clamp down in critique against MSM (Main Stream Media) and Silicon Valley conduct. At the same time I find political topics all the time on the front page that are deemed fine as long

> Or are you suggesting that they should have known they were going to be kicked out and destroyed everything in preporation? That's precisely what I'm trying to say. A campfire is certainly the fastest way to get the job done.

Don't know if you are sarcastic here, but yes, the destruction of documents and "evidence" or traces is certainly expected. What isn't is the method in which it is done. The fact that they had to make a fire indicates th

Is there any indication that all these locations have stopped all elective surgeries and procedures? Most early states did that, which hurt the bottom line tremendously, but enabled all hospitals to stay below capacity. From what you are wr
