While the press will blame trade tensions with China for this, in reality the US economy has been doing well lately, however outside the US the other major economies have not been growing. Ranging from plateauing to shrinking. That is the

My office has installed a couple of free level 2 chargers and I haven’t needed to charge at home or elsewhere since. Charging for a few hours a couple of times a week is enough for my Bolt and my 10 mile commute as well as driving around t

Honestly I think there is a lot of incompetence involved with local transportation agencies as well. Often they are extremely underfunded so it’s not always their fault. But living in a metropolitan area where the population is very much fo

No idea, but it is obviously rude, but also in the current “lack of engineering talent” climate a very bad business practice. I have worked for a couple of FAANG and other large companies, and been rejected by many more. But they have alw

I’m happy for them, seemed like an interesting company. Personally I had a bad experience with them as far as their recruiting went. As a very experienced candidate I was working with a senior recruiter who thought I was perfect for a pos

Honestly BMW lost its way long before electrics. The BMW pedigree was always about the drivability. They were never as “luxurious” as their competitors but they were so much more fun to drive. Somewhere along the way they lost that and be

Absolutely, and no proof that there isn’t. It certainly seems that the idea of an afterlife is appealing since in some ways it is easier to comprehend than “nothing”.

For me the hardest idea to grasp is the concept of “nothing”. It seems to me that is something the human brain cannot possibly comprehend. There is always something as far as our senses are concerned. I guess that’s why the idea of nothi

Bread in the US, and to be fair a lot of of supermarket bread in a lot of countries (UK, Australia, I'm sure tons of others) has a variety of ingredients added to help keep the bread "fresh". It used to be common to buy fres

Honestly everyone needs to chill out. The markets on Friday and today are extremely negative and volatile in general. This was a very tough week to IPO. Market negativity or positivity is amplified with freshly listed stocks. We won&#x2

Yes however it is definitely a way for employers to save a bunch of money while convincing employees that they are better off too. The whole smokescreen of we will give you a bunch of money "for free!" that goes to your HSA and s

COBRA these days ends up being way too expensive for most people to afford. Perhaps at one time it was a useful regulation. Now it is pretty unaffordable.

Having just gone through a situation with a family member who had to go to the ER, have a variety of tests done, be admitted to the hospital for a few days, and be seen by a specialist in the hospital. This definitely hits home. What makes
