I've read other market analyses that say basically the same thing - there's no money to be made in being a 'good brand', you'll do much better chasing either high-end market or competing on cost. That's why co

Conversely, it's common for contracting firms to include a clause requiring the subcontracting firm to indemnify the contractor. So United would be able to push it back onto Republic.

I don't think the author is asserting it's really driving kids around that causes the traffic. Rather, it's that all parents _need_ to leave their work at (say) 5 in order to get home for their kids.

State/Provincial income tax appear to be similar, yes. But Canadian federal tax is higher, and Ontario sales tax (HST) is a gag-inducing 13%. If you think Ontarioans are ok with that sales tax, just check out any outlet mall in Buffa

I would guess (and I'm trying not to make any value judgement on this) that they view it as a job, and the sales commissions help pay for their lives and their family, and they don't think about it much more deeply than that. I re

You're drawing distinction between the 'man made' part of the dam and the 'natural' dam, which exists on paper but not in the static force analysis. If that natural portion of the dam becomes unable to support the

You have to remember that the hill _is_ the dam (of the type[1]). so when water flows down that spillway, it's going to pick up dirt with it - making the hill smaller and smaller, ie. making the dam thinner and thinner. [1] https:

As far as the statistics go, on the application form they ask you for what race you self-identify as. There are only a certain number of checkboxes so a 'half' just has to choose which box to tick. That's the meaning behind

Your reference says that Americans think they need ~900 sqft per person, which I agree is around what the people I know think is enough. So I guess I'm pretty average in my thinking.

Not that I disagree, but one of the vagaries of the SF property market is that 2-bdm units are much more expensive than 1-bdm units, even for the same total sqft. I assume that's because would-be-landlords expect to rent 2-bdm units t
