The ISP cannot say you had this address, but only your computer. With public Wifi, several people will have the same IP address. The possibility of being hacked or having someone "borrow" your connection are also possibilities. Household

A recession is the perfect time to take a hard look at budgets and trim what is not needed. People will question professional careers that are inflated and that is just a natural economic process. The university system is already heavil

Inflation in spending is very misleading. I'm reminded of certain statistics that begin with "<x> minority is the fastest growing <demographic, religion, political affiliation, etc> in the country" ...well of course. When
