I feel like FB could have covered their ass if they had a pop up menu for every rental ad that says "All ads must abide by the Fair Housing Act...click for more info. Check this box if you acknowledge your advertising practice abides b

I'm kinda LOL on the downvotes. From my understanding (and I replied to OP) is that it is fine. IANAL, though. When I was in college, lots of recruiters advertise and sponsor with the Society of Black Engineers...of Society of Women En

I don't think your metaphor is on point, either. I'm going to guess an ad in a majority-white med school is allowed (can I go on a limb and say most med schools are majority, white, anyways?). But nothing is stopping a black perso

I'll take a stab. You have a rental house where you want to rent out to senior citizens (for whatever reason). You put your ad in the local AARP magazine. If a young couple stumble upon the ad in the magazine, they can read the ad and

I don't believe it will lower medical costs, but would drive students to consider the much needed general practitioner which generally pays less.

That's messed up. Injustice, and maybe racist? So many other Banks down the street that casued malice...I thought it was bad enough that non of the big banks got in trouble for ruining the global economy...but to prosecute a small bank

Based on the comments, I thought it was an old training...then I saw the banner on top said 2018. This is our tax dollars at work. I wish we had politicians that would spend our money wisely, rather than just keep increasing military budget

If you read what Elon Musk wrote...he does not believe Tesla will be private in the long term. He believes the stock price is a distraction, and invites people to crap on, or harm the company because they are shorting it. Public companies h

I would imagine an act is not a crime till it is investigated by investigators or tried in court. Everything you hear now a days is "allegedly" because no one wants to be definitive and then get sued for libel in the chance they a

Yes and a lot of companies are going automated. Much easier to have a programmer write automated tests, than to teach QA how to program. Guess who would be in high demand once they get that experience? OP!

Read back on my comment...tons of typo. Sorry, I was typing it on the fly on mobile and autocorrect stinks. I swear I give better advice than I type :)

If you cant get a Dev job, try something else. I am thinking maybe QA. In my 10 years experience the only good QA people are peogeammers. My enterprise software experience...the companies have dedicated QA people and they suck. I just use t

It's amusing to me how out of touch executives are. Some executive makes a decision for this and everyone is too scared to tell them it's a stupid idea. This happens where I work, too. They could have had the employees deliver for

It used to be you can click "Amazon Prime" and get a reputable seller...but now I guess you gotta click on "Sold by Amazon". I hope they don't commingle Amazon's stuff with 3rd party sellers... If so...I'm

For someone who wants to brag on Facebook, though...$250 to save 7 minutes might be worth the bragging rights.

Same with my security provider, SimpleSafe. Gotta call during business hours to cancel for "security reasons", but you can resubscribe or add new features online. The only secure part of canceling via phone is you give a security

I noticed that in the article, Joly gave back the employee discount and said it was a big morale booster. I think morale is important, especially for retail. Employees run the business, and store floor employees are the face of the business

You can also get out on a payment plan that lasts for like 20 years. Then after a few years the hospital writes off the debt and says you don't have to pay - assuming you haven't declared bankruptcy yet.

If the doctor appointment costs $100, the ministry pays $90. If OP negotiates the price to $90,OP pays nothing. Ministry still pays $90.

You're being downvoted probably because of the superbug statement...but my wife had surgery to remove a breast lump. It cost $3k and with all these appointments it happened over the course of 2 months. The cost does not include all the

What's interesting is I heard that if you pay cash, up front the doctor's office will charge you less. So I had this appointment (forgot for what) and they gave an estimate with my insurance. I asked...if I wanted to pay for all o

I've participated before only to be disappointed. I didn't even Beyer looking at their 'deals' this year. I consider this their garage sale to get rid of junk...unless you want to buy Amazon products like Ring.

I always pick the sellers that ship within the USA. It costs a few dollars more, but easier refunds and faster arrival.

A seller can opt out of comingling, but it costs the seller money. I assume amazon calculated the increase cost of the inventory control and pasts those cost on, so it won't drive down Amazon's profit. Since Amazon doesnt label wh
