I am actually sympathetic here - one quirk of New York City is despite hosting some of the busiest airports in the country, there simply aren't any reasonable airport hotels. There used to be many, but the City bought most of them outr

It's actually really simple. The parties short seller sold to can lend their shares out again. Say I own the only share in Acme Corp. A borrows it and sells it to B. B then lent it to C who then sold it to D. Now you have both A and C

That is by design; only 10% to 50% real world traffic is replicated into FS2020. I imagine if you replicate all traffic you will never be able to take off and land at popular airports like JFK or LHR :)

There's also the Ford vs Chicken Tax; basically U.S. import tariff for passenger van is 2.5% and cargo van is 25%, so Ford, which manufactured their Transit van in Turkey, installed seats in factory and stripped the seats once they arr

NJ resident. Being able to refuel your car without stepping outside is really nice, especially in winter. There has been attempts to repeal that law to no avail. The only drawback is if there aren't enough employees you may need to wai

I once watched a video about exotic car rental business, where they mentioned that if you rent a car and fail to return it, it's technically not theft, but conversion. As a result it's difficult to get the cops involved. Not sure

My family printer was bought in 2008. I parted with it when I left for college. After getting by with school printer, office printer and public printer in my apartment building, I finally bought my own after the pandemic. Oh boy are modern

That's too harsh for Hu. Hu didn't start holding all three senior offices together. His predecessor, Jiang, did. Not that it matters anyways - China's paramount leader before Jiang, Deng, was neither head of state (President)
