I don't know how or why people do this. My parents made us ride in the car with them on weekends as they spent hours driving around looking at real estate to invest in. We hated it but did it. It was quite beneficial (I just wish they

I'm getting more and more frustrated with digital appliances. Moved to a new place and the fancy digital appliances are more inconvenient than my previous older appliances with analog buttons and inputs. They are a negative to the expe

No, it's not okay, it reduces citizenship and community to a dollar value, which is just more neoliberalism. It doesn't pay the government anything either - for eb5 investor commonly makes a profit, and only has to employ ten Amer

Are you seriously about to go to school again? Work your job, save money and perhaps you can invent a device on your own, or invest in one, etc, in your spare time. Lots of physicians have done so.

But ALL houses have not increased in price, only the ones that were offered up for sale. So, niche salary gains and niche housing price spikes. If all the houses came for sale on the same day, I guarantee the prices would not remain this hi

India has hardly come online as a trade partner, only recently. Before China it was Japan. Before Japan it was the US and UK. Maybe next it's Outer Space?!! There's been some new story, who knows how many more.

What you call cleansing is also a massive loss of wealth by the middle classes and a transfer directly upwards to the wealthy. So sad this has not happened /s There's no law of physics that says wealth must be destroyed every few

Eh, you don't need massive VC to get quality resilient tech companies. You need massive VC for massive bubbles. Sydney has some good startups going now, I would say on a per capita basis Australia does well. It's not Australia&#x2

The disturbing thing is that the US is not building its own robots to automate the factories, they are being imported. Clearly we aren't as innovative a nation as we think we are. Hey, at least we have Uber.

What is your point? I don't understand why you focused on short-haul. US carriers do long-haul to, and they are terrible at it, but they are so lazy and incompetent that they just choose to whine about unfairness instead of competing.

If you went completely passive (let your top employee just be CEO) today, how long will it take to lose all your customers and wind down to $0 revenue? I would just map out how long you think that would take, and forecast all future cash fl

I think the main advantage of this crane is that it is bolted to the building, therefore falls under the general insurance policy of the development, whereas tower cranes require a separate policy, which as the article states, are basically

The difference is there's a huge tech bubble in the US which has blown up salaries for software professionals far ahead of anywhere else in the world. Think about all the flimsy startups funded by free flowing VC cash who will never ma

Anyone can wake up early if they absolutely need to, the difference is, do they wake up perky and ready to go, or do they take an hour or two to get out of their groggy stage? The latter is me, I'm a nightowl, but if my schedule demand

No they did not leave Washington, that's ridiculous. Their executive HQ is in Chicago but that doesn't mean much. Many executive HQ are in Chicago but that's not many jobs.

I am working on a company for this problem. You're right in that you should be weary of contractor designation as this can lead to legal liability, often in countries you wouldn't expect. You don't want to setup entities and

In n Out pays $11-$12/he with good benefits - much more than McD. McDonalds are also franchises so the individual owners are much more concerned with weekly cash flow than corporate In N Out who can decide to invest in higher wages for

In Australia McDonalds are still generally staffed by young teens, not immigrants, and often white. This is because there are lower minimum wages for minors (staggered by age). I think this is a matter of costs (wages) and not much else.
