Depends on where you live. I live in Indiana, and you can buy Sudafed in limited quantites, but you are reported to law enforcement. Most people don't want law enforcement even knowing they bought Sudafed, so they go without. I had a

Maybe it is that IaC is usually imposed on developers, injecting a forced learning curve. In this respect, IaC is a lot like JavaScript, and I suspect that, much like JavaScript, people are just mad about being forced to learn it and haven’

The parent’s relationship has zero to do with assigning liability for supporting the child. Zero. None. The child's existence is caused by having sex. That is where the liability is created. I don't get to decide if a car wreck is

False. As soon as a medical debtor has a judgment against them, they can be subject to DRS.

First, paying child support is a moral obligation. Second, DRS is stupid (it harms the enforcer of the policy, society, and the person who is not making payments). It removes the ability of the person who is supposed to pay child support fr

Sounds like Taylor will be set up to loose a lot of money if they don't fix the lemon. Even if it's just swapping out a lemon for a new lemon, Taylor will have an incentive to fix this.
