Ritalin's been used to treat ADHD for about 70 years. Also, we know that ADHD results in reduced life expectancy, so ADHD medication just has to improve that number for it to be pretty good. If your life expectancy due to taking ADHD m

If someone owned all the water in the world, then "fair market price" is whatever they choose to set the price at. That doesn't mean that as a society we should be comfortable with allowing one person to own all the water in

Desirable locations are finite, though. People want to live near jobs, infrastructure, amenities, their friends and family. There is limited supply of locations that are near to those things, so land functions as a monopoly.

Land rent works very differently than most other markets because land is of limited supply. "Fair market price" is determined by what people who live in an area can afford to pay, rather than primarily supply and demand. Add to th

A verbal contract is still a contract, including amendments to it. Being on salary vs paid hourly also doesn't mean anything about whether there is a contract.

You should learn a bit about adult ADHD and see if it sounds like you, and perhaps get a psychiatrist to see if you match an ADHD diagnosis. It changed my life to find out I was ADHD, and what you said has some correlation.
