The business 101 was unnecessary. What matters in this scenario is that these businesses are under government order not to operate. They are unable to make money. Deferment, then, amounts to a catch-22: pay now and go bankrupt; defer, have

Americans live in relatively huge houses, with tons of stuff that we don't need, use, or even get any sentimental value out of. I'm not saying we need to transform into Japan - it was truly nice to be able to visit wealthier famil

Under the circumstances, the only living expenses should be gas and food. If someone who owns hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of capital doesn't have enough money set aside to weather a bad month, hopefully they've been k

Are you willing to stake your bets so, when the reason we're in this situation is in the first place is an inversion of the "ounce of prevention" principle? I think, at this point, it would be prudent to articulate exactly wh

Thank you, this is very close to what I was hoping for. I tested it out, and if I were in a position to pay for the premium features, I would highly consider it. However, the biggest stopgap for me is that my daily driver phone is a Samsung

"Do your own stuff when you've finished your assigned tasks" is dicey for a couple of reasons: 1) You could be in a position where the work "never" ends. For sure, there are a reasonable number of tasks expected to
