If you're upset about exclusivity in this deal I don't understand. These movies won't be on Hulu or Prime after this deal, but they aren't there currently . A whole bunch of movies are going to become more available f

Employee health benefits been tax free since at least 1954, and the top marginal rates were much higher then. So WWII controls were an early factor, but marginal tax impacts were significant too.

Rate of delinquency seems like it would it helpful map to include. (As I read it, the "Delinquency" map reflects the average size of delinquent loans in the region, so it has a different denominator than the other maps.)

Am I missing something? They say they have "$1 million in donations spent ... and $1 million in the bank to back any bad loans". For a bank/CU this sounds like pocket change. Later they say they have "almost unlimited

For something as fungible as credit card transactions, it's hard to understand how a "brand" could be truly valuable. (Or is the grocery store cashier secretly really impressed when I produce my Amex Blue?)

Average LSAT scores took a dive for class of '14 too. The schools lowered standards circa 2011 as fewer students applied. Three years later they graduate and, yeah, their scores are lower on average.

You can use array formulas to make one formula operate on many values at once. In your example, there'd be one same formula in C2:C4 which would be {=B2:B4/B1:B3-1}. When I had to use Excel a lot I would follow this pattern as mu
