When I was younger I worked in retail in California, and at two companies was told that it's effectively the same for referrals. If someone calls you for a reference of someone who worked under you, the reference should never be negat

My guess would be: compact cars are more desired in very urban areas for many reasons (size when parking, fuel efficiency in an area where it is more expensive); less trucks (truck workhorses are overwhelmingly American); and a higher conce

Interesting that nowhere in the article really examines the degree to which trucks are making the US/foreign difference. Even though the distinction between US/foreign has been greatly diminished in recent history, the workhorses

To be honest, nearly all of that sounds perfectly reasonable information for the federal government to have. Trusting the card being presented to you by the person making the identity claim is a fundamentally flawed idea that has always be

Why is issuing a citation in this way so problematic? In a few places near where I live there is extremely clear signage about the speed limit, and that speed cameras are in effect, 100% of the time, every single day. If you speed there,

The same is true in the Netherlands, customers can return something within 14 days (in fact I think they only have to initiate a return within 14 days, the retailer may not receive it for a while). The retailer is not required to pay for r

It's similar in The Netherlands. If you are self-employed and have more than one customer it's pretty demonstrable that you are autonomous, can decline work, and the relationship is not solely to avoid an employment contract. Con
