Are you currently playing the premium for a family of four with a decent deductible where it doesn’t feel like you empty your pockets because you want to make sure your pain isn’t going to kill you?

I definitely feel for the people getting laid off... But hear me out, I think this is going to be a good thing for those people and the economy. The achievers that are getting laid off now have the opportunity, or are forced, to take that r

$22/hr starting pay for retail is poorly paid? To essentially be a glorified cashier? Come on. It doesn’t matter how much Apple makes or is worth. You get paid for the job you do. I’m not discounting the workers or their positions, sim

I think you’re misjudging amazons customer base. I sincerely doubt there is are more than a handful or two of consumers that buy the Fire HD that even know there are different versions.

What is your Linux laptop giving you that your MBP doesn’t? And how does it hurt your productivity? Genuinely curious as I don’t see how it can be any different.

I think it should be very apparent to just about anyone that there aren’t enough programmers in the world to develop enough capable algorithms to buy and sell used cars or homes efficiently or profitably. There are way too many nuances invo

This is pretty common among third party Amazon sellers. They’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. Amazon has high standards for seller ratings based on reviews. The proportion of unsatisfied customers leaving negative reviews is expone

Because that’s how they stay “lean” and steal market share from larger companies by offering lower pricing. It’s all fine and dandy until you need real customer support. That’s why companies like Microsoft, Oracle, etc will never go away. R

>Realistically (and I am not singling out Apple here), we are more and more captive of an ecosystem. Yes, we definitely are. But I am not so sure that is a bad thing? And it's nothing new... how many businesses had their entire oper

Coincidently, my wife and I drive by one of their stores that I didn’t realize was so close to our current home. I asked her if she knew it was there and she said she refuses to go there because they are 2-3x the price of Amazon, even with

But that’s the wrong way to look at this. You can’t just compare dollar for dollar while ignoring the effects of millions of companies closing down and never reopening.

The two party system is definitely the root cause, but it is because the mainstream and social media is constantly amplifying the voices and viewpoints of extreme minority in each party.

You need to decided his ultimate value to you. I’ve been in the position of giving employees stock. I resented them because in doing so, I thought they would treat the business like I do. However, they still act like employees. Don’t give h
