Yes. Better make sure that 10lbs of cocaine doesn't get into the hands of people and is properly destroyed by authorities

The golf debate was the wtf are we even doing moment for me. It turned out to be a very powerful moment that allowed a new democratic candidate to rise above two old men blathering about their golf game.

We are usually diametrically opposed to taxing spending, but what about a corporate luxury tax on stock buybacks? Buybacks are the latest scheme to inflate executive and top shareholder pay while at the same time making capital unavailable when needed. Claim chapter 11, negotiate debts, lay off employees, rinse and repeat. Moral hazard.

Nah mobile homes are built to poor standards with poor materials, while most tiny houses are built to the same standards as a stick-built regular house. It's more like exchanging size for quality.

If your friend paid a competitive wage with the other company using the same equipment, while also providing an equal or better working environment, he would be able to retain the employees, and find an equilibrium for those moving to and from his competitor.

The only reason he would need a contractual limitation is if he was offering worse wages or a worse working environment.

Unscrew the aerator on the kitchen sink, bend the paperclip so it makes a loop that holds it tight inside of the faucet, and push it up inside the faucet. Then reinstall the aerator.

You can't metal detect it, it won't affect water flow, and it would be simple to retrieve.

I understand where you are coming from. First, procure some psilocybin mushrooms and take a dose of that. If you don't still feel better after 24 hours, plan a bank robbery. I mean it- If you are going to die anyway, rob the tellers drawers for 5-10k, and then fly to Bangkok and party in a place where you will be embraced.

I live in an area of the country where mosquitoes are a year round nuisance. Think mangroves and tropical weather. Thermacell devices actually work, unlike just about every other device out there.

Hey this is vanishingly unlikely. We don't eat many turnips in the US.

I experienced this too, and landed at a smart company that paid me for the time I spent on the take home project. Yes, it's less money than I might earn at a more prestigious company who abused my time, but I've also successfully selected for a company that has a good working environment.

They have an engineer for probably 30% less than what I demanded from another company with a dumb hiring practice. The dumb company was willing to give me the money too, but I was annoyed with their process so I told them I would not work for them unless they put a four day work week in my offer.

Now that student borrowers aren't getting a "free ride", I want PPP loan recipients to be required to pay back the full amount, plus say, 9% interest, retroactively. Why should my tax dollars pay for your free business loan?
