I assume they were planning on liquidating seized assets. They could sell the nests at auction.

It amazes me that people load all their contacts into the infotainment system of rental vehicles, let alone ones they own. Some individuals have no concept of or desire for privacy.

I recently thought a tubed item I ordered was lost in shipment. I found it 2 weeks later in the bushes where the mailman apparently thought was a good place to stash it.

That's not always true. Take the case of a company that determines the cost of fixing a flaw is worse for profits than letting the flaw continue into production. Remington famously allowed a flawed trigger in one of their rifles for de

I believe luring in corporate giants with payouts collected from existing businesses is short-sighted and wrong both morally and economically. There are existing businesses in Wisconsin, and the way I see it, their current collective tax bu

They're giving up fairness and equality- equal treatment under the law. If the entire state wasn't completely devoid of any entities looking to compete in that space, it probably is now. Anyone making LCD panels in Wisconsin sudde

The whole point of science is to explain "the supernatural". Lightning was once considered "supernatural". Now it isn't. Science did that. Science does not acknowledge the existence of an afterlife because there is

I've been saying for years that there should be a tiered system of property taxation based on the number of properties owned by an individual or entity. It could be a simple as using a multiplier. Own 3 taxable properties? Your rate fo

The whole thing seems to be a corporatized version of a carny game. Amazon is behind the counter, promising gullible passersby top prizes if they can toss a ring over a bottle. "Watch me, I'll show you how easy it is!" But in

"Henk and Ingrid pay for Mohammed and Fatima.” I really hope that at some point, the world starts talking about how Mohammed and Fatima ended up there. This is a part of what happens when you spend two decades bombing villages.

Way back in 1781 Immanuel Kant discussed this (without considering quantum implications, obviously) in "Critique of Pure Reason". He coined the term "noumenon" to describe a thing as it is, not as it is perceived.
