People who don't like prices of food are free to starve. They want to eay without paying the cost of bringing food to market. It's pernicious entitlement, made more outrageous by complaining about the greed of those actually provi

> Software projects always used to go massively over budget, were delivered late, and usually didn't meet the customers requirements anyway. I feel like this is still the case under "Agile"

I remember reading books a lot. I have two brothers, so playing with them and with toys. We also went out to play in the snow a lot.

Years ago when I was growing up in the woods of West Virginia we had a particularly bad blizzard. During this time the power went out. We were use to this happening and most of the time it was for half a day or so. So we pulled out the kero

Unless their brain is only working 4-6 hours a day and after that they won't make much of a contribution. I feel like my point is, if you're gonna want hourly work, pay for hourly work. Take this scenario, I'm a highly produc
