I see no reason why both parties should not try. Nikki Haley did very well in the primary against a more well known Ron DeSantis & Chris Christie. We have had multiple governors. The only 2 that have run are not a good example. A lot of

When was the last time Microsoft had a unified vision that was focused on building an amazing line of products that integrated well with each other? I can only think of short snippets in history where they moved in that direction for maybe

Excel has amazing super powers. PowerPoint is underrated. For enterprises it almost always comes down to - does it reduce risk, is it easy to manage, authentication & authorization features, is it good enough & is it compatible with

In the US, property tax typically works that way for many people. You get something in the mail that says this is what your tax will be. If you happen to have a loan for your house, the bank in charge of your loan handles it. The only oppos

It would help if Americans educated themselves on the basics of taxes. They would realize quickly how W-2 income employees pay a very high tax rate when you factor in FICA vs high wealth individuals who pay little to no FICA or income taxes

The average American can file for free, or at least it was possible in the past. They could also learn to file their taxes, as well as simple tax planning, in a very short video.

There are 3 things always overlooked in this conversation. - It’s not just representatives but their staff, family and friends. See the Covid scandals as an example. - Often the information they’re privy to can come from their networks outs

What's interesting is that Thiel added MSFT but the Gates Foundation just reduced it by almost 2/3 and it was their biggest holding - https://hedgefollow.com/funds/Gates+Foundation+Trust

Not just this but the lack of diligence by companies that allow accounts to be created, bills to go unpaid & then sent to collection agencies is something that needs to change. Speaking as someone who has had companies give away my PII

If you put solar panels in parking lots, you're adding a lot of posts to the parking lot to hold them that weren't there before. People are going to crash into those posts in parking lots often. For example, light posts constantly

For the record, I personally 100% agree with what you're saying & wish that was the policy. My statement above is my attempt at understanding others.

That's fair & I get your point. Thank you. The parent link was really light on details. My link gave some opposition reasons but I could have summed them up or dug into them better. Since it's a very local issue, I assumed get

This gets proposed a lot. The reason it isn't more frequent is due to the cost of the structure to hold the panels & risks of people running into them. It would be great if these costs could come down. Parking lots, animal pastures

Interesting that just sharing a link of the trade-offs got a bunch of down votes when I didn't even take a side. Maybe it was a misunderstanding of my intentions to purely share information based on your reply. If you don't mind,

The US has invested a lot of money, lives, political capital & environment to become a big oil & gas producer. One of it's potential weapons against China is that China imports most of it's oil & gas. China also has a

Apologies. I think of cubicles the same as open office and they’re not. There is kind of a spectrum between these ideas. In my above statement I was thinking of both cubicles and open office.

I’ve had the opposite effect. Meetings where everyone is on video run so much better. More on task, plus transcriptions & other features dramatically improve the meeting. I can more easily understand accents, read when people talk over
