My guess is they could request the item back, and if they really wanted to, put a negative balance on your account effectively banning you from Amazon without a return. Whether or not they would sue you or win and collect is a different sto

I don’t know what a social contract means, but in some cases you are breaking condo/apartment contracts and in other municipalities the owner is breaking the law. As far as I’ve ever heard, as a guest, the worst that is going to happen

Agreed, and people may not be away of how egregious the budgets of their favorite non-profit/charity are. "Nationwide, the mean salaries of chief executives at nonprofit hospitals rose 93% since 2005 to reach $3.1 million in 2015,

They need to stop slapping their name on every product launch. Look at Amazon, they have a lot of white label brands and almost none of the customers have a clue they are purchasing Amazon's own brands. This clearly isn't the only

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Touch Bar turns in to the entire keyboard. Surprise, no more stuck keys! The 12” MacBook is the only laptop model I’ve purchased twice. Very disappointed to see it get the axe. I bought one in 2015 despite onl

It is probably some mix of opioids, long term impacts of continual growth in the obesity rate, and the fact that a lot of people now have health insurance with $8,000+ deductibles. These are all fixable problems. There are fundamental probl
