What do "income gaps" produce? If my neighbor makes $10 million a year and I make $100,000, how does that affect my life? Many of the "poor" in our country are obese. That should tell you something. They aren't th

I guess I don't understand why people just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the U.S. Government so much. They do not manage money, personnel, or any resources efficiently. The allocation of federal funds is subject to the whims of whatever lobbyist or

Let me guess, you think there's a cure for cancer but the doctors are withholding it and Exxon Mobil bought the patent for a combustion engine that would achieve 100+ mpg. Any industry that is built on addressing problems that people n

Every time Amazon rolls one of these services out that is supposed to make it hard on the brick-and-mortar competition, Amazon's fulfillment centers are mentioned, which also have to be brick and mortar. I believe Walmart/Sam&#x27

While it's true that people in rural areas often don't care about the same things that people in big cities care about that doesn't mean they are oblivious or opposed to new technology. I have a friend who is a commercial pou

No, he's not grasping. He didn't called it "hot air and baloney" because he thinks it would never physically work. He called it that because he believes it was timed to coincide with Cyber Monday. The bureaucratic hurdle

Way off topic (and probably annoying), but I literally see/hear the word 'literally' used in these two situations. When what is being said... 1. Is obviously literal and does not need to be qualified. 2. Isn't ac

If you think your opinion on a message board carries 5 cents worth of weight to someone who has poured their heart and soul into a business idea, you're mistaken. In other words, you or me calling an idea horrible on the Internet is no

I don't see this in the guidelines. Was it recently removed? EDIT: Nevermind, I found it in this paragraph: Don't abuse the text field in the submission form to add commentary to links. The text field is for starting discussions.
