I would like to understand whether there are any states that even occasionally backs the employer in non-competes for the general layperson. In my experience, courts tend to side with someone who's willing to work over employers. This

Was going to find a place in here to comment on Together. I remember spending $1500k on a professional license circa 1999, and still think it was the best money I've ever spent on an IDE. Incredibly powerful for large-scale systems, a

Incredibly grateful for what Bezos has built. I learned more in my 6 years at Amazon that I have in my 20 other years in the industry. And Amazon gave my autistic spectrum son a chance when literally nobody else would. Thank you, Jeff.

2016 also had open violent attacks on democratic process to certify president election, remember? Riots, destruction of property in November and December 2016? Calls for electoral college voters to switch their votes. Ring a bell?

Hilary Clinton used the term "stolen election" throughout the last four years, including 2020. That's not an input, it's an output. People - including the media - called Trump an illegitimate President for 4 years. Th

You just described both sides. Side a: 2016 US election was stolen. 2020 was fair and square. Side b: 2020 US election was stolen. 2016 election was fair and square. Seems that there are a small number of people who think a) both election

Thomas Sowell covers this exact topic in detail with data in his recent book Discrimination and Disparities. In summary, you are spot on and he explains why, using global and historical data. And why society is best served this way. In f

Same thing way back in the 80s. Only they would buy a small fruit (lime, lemon) for 10 cents with a 10 dollar stamp... then use the change to buy their liquor. And this was a middle class neighborhood. Never saw stamps used for what they

As a Gen-Xer, I think that cynicism had its roots in both the 80s and 90s with the number of companies that left our parents out to dry with disappearing pensions and people doing the math to realize that Social Security was unsustainable a

Exactly what I’ve done over the last 20 years. I FSBO and pay a lawyer by the hour at the doc signing. Not to mention I sell at a higher price than what realtors who try to land my business state I could sell for.
