There are a few things that FB marketplace has going for it but #1 is the integration with messenger. The near friction-less ability for buyers to contact sellers and get a reply. This story is more about Craiglist doing nothing than FB i

But you exchange more of your time at 2nd hand places. The reason new exists is not just the styles, but the higher likelihood you are going to find the correct (or near to it) size.

The pay isn't that low in many places. Seattle police officers start at $65k+ with many (a majority?) earning $100k+. Benefits, good union, unlikely to get fired.

assuming you have at least a small amount of money saved, say $7k-$10k. Fly in on tourist visa. That gives you 90 days, and it seems you can just leave the country and come back for 2 years every 90 days (though this will be annoying). h

There is the maybe infamous case (at least in startupland) of the guy who made one of the first Spanish Bible apps despite being agnostic/atheist and got an exit. Looking at the app and the name it comes across as a joke or a game. I

"people will pay $20 for a good sandwich." Some people will pay for a Bentley. Doesn't mean a lot of people will. Best example might be In-N-out burger, that is relativity good quality for the price that is accessible to most

Ideal no, but she isn't going to be in prison 20 years, most likely not 10 either. Kid will be raised by father and family, won't be poor, and it is unlikely kid will hate his mom.

Go to goodwill or Craigslist, there are a lot of routers, like 1080p monitors, the world doesn't need any more low or mid range routers purchased new. Save a bit of waste from going to a landfill.

Slight side note, I am surprised how Mixergy/Andrew has almost zero social media presence. There are no social icons on their site and there is no engagement with fans on Twitter (or anywhere else?). I wonder why this is.

Again the physical building of a wall would require like 1% of the annual military budget for 3 years. Its a wall. Isreal has done it. Can argue don't want to build it, but pure fiction it can't be done.
