Be aware of attributing causal relations to that which has no indication it is not just a coincidence. Lights definitely don't effect catalytic converter thieves in many cities like SF. That's not to say lights in other locations

I'm baffled by how chase, bofa and the big retail banks have any customer at all who keep saving accounts with them. There literally doesn't seem a point other than to donate about 3% of that total to them each year in lost income

The injury rate at walmart warehouses are apparently much lower than amazon so no, amazon alternatives are not worse in regards to worker injuries. Amazon's algorithmic management is just that harmful. Not sure about the small time log

This is pretty weak. All it does as proposed is to make it so you're entitled to a refund if the delay is over 3 hours. I think that means you don't fly, you can just get refunded and go home. That is like not a penalty. It does n
