Tell him to go. College and dorm living is where, in our family, we meet and fall in love with our spouse. The marriages that worked passed this on for 4 generations. This is an unspoken teaching to all that grow up in all of our roofs. F

My thinking. Cab supply and ease. I work at a retailer where 20-30% more probably) use their phone to get to work. Its affordable and allows taking the job. $5 to get home. Cabs were $11 and importantly unreliable. Have a phone; get a ri

When i think of disruption i think of uber. Rides where none could happen before. What will their disruption be? How about delinking insurance to healthcare. Let me buy healthcare the day i need it. And nothing the day after i dont. No mo

I wonder too. I assume they are electronic. So snowstorm- raise milk and bread.
