How do I convert a Date to a different time zone? You don’t – because a Date doesn’t have a time zone. There's something about this, and the way we think about dates, which makes it very hard for some people to understand. Some peopl

The author may be right about the cultural factors he talks about, but the economic issues, which I suspect are much more significant in the midwest's decision on Tuesday, are being seriously understated. One sentence only, and a major

Its not an either or proposition though. It's frankly ridiculous to propose that I could give up actively managing my finances and use that extra time (an hour a week maybe) to significantly increase my income.
