Tires and brake disks/pads aren't cars. If the chemicals that make them are so dangerous, why not focus on replacements? Last I checked, bicycles have tires that wear out too.

Interesting, the more (socially) right wing your neighbourhood is, the better the economic mobility. What gets lost in the statistics is how many people ran away screaming from these places and now live all over the world making far more mo

Oh, our silly sensibilities. Go to a nude beach this summer and bare all. Just remember sunscreen! Only a small percentage of people look anything like the magazines, and even then only with makeup and Photoshop. Fear of nudity, your own

3. Present (business) outcomes. It depends on who you are working with and all three approaches can be appropriate for a single deal, but varies based on the audience. Generally I see technical salespeople that refuse to think beyond spec
