There is a paywall. But, If the town actually tried to ban gossip, it's essentially a ban on the freedom of speech. I'm not sure how that would be enforced anyway. You aren't allowed to talk about anything besides yourself?

It's interesting you brought this up, because it's the same thing that happened to the music industry with piracy. A decade of rampant piracy changed the mindset of the consumer to value music at $0. Almost all of the musicians I

Tech salaries in Toronto and Vancouver are almost half of what I get paid in the US. It's no wonder companies are flocking there. I don't know how people can live in either of these cities with salaries that are so low and the co

College is really expensive in the US because of the government's attempt to allow anyone to get in through loans. Universities know that students have to pay it back no matter what, so they can keep increasing the costs of classes and

If they regulate the gig economy, most of these people will be out of work. The reason is that a company like Instacart will need to make sure that these minimum wage employees are bringing enough value to the company, which means less peo
