The market cap of a company has nothing to do with how much tax they pay. Can we please quit spreading misinformation about Amazon?

I don't believe these huge oil/gas companies are this naive. If just one makes the plunge and has success then all the others would have to follow. I don't think any of these oil companies are a Kodak.

This was my thought too and it can be a good investment. If you think your stock is undervalued by a certain amount then why wouldn't you buy up the stock at the lower price? You can pour money into R&D, but if you could take what

> I don't understand that argument. By the same reasoning all drugs should be legal. Do you really believe it's the illegal nature of drugs that keep the vast majority of people from using them? It's the fact that they kno

The biggest concern to me is the attention span most people have today. They can't go longer than a few minutes without checking their phone. It impacts work and leisure. An assignment at work is delayed or low quality because you chec

I don't think anyone believes that there is no productive use of a smartphone, but I imagine the vast majority of people using smartphones in public are not using them productively.

I aim to not read news throughout the day. Any breaking event is usually poorly reported and gets a lot of things wrong. I prefer to wait until the next day and read the online WSJ copy of the day's paper. I believe it gives me a bette

That seems insane... I get off work around 4:30pm and get home from the gym around 6pm. I make dinner and it's basically 7pm and then I have leisure time to read a book, work a personal project, or watch TV. I aim to go to bed 10pm. I

I genuinely do not believe the access to the guns are the issue here. There are plenty of ways to accomplish something like this without a gun, so removing the guns from the picture would just change the method. It's lazy to just say t

You can make greater than a 1% return on your cash, so yeah that makes sense. Debt can be a valuable tool, but most people aren't using it correctly.

There's nothing that sets them apart from competitors so it's a race to the bottom. If you're a rider you're always going to go to who has the best price and if you're a driver you're going to go to who pays yo

I've had multiple drivers give me a business card and ask me to call them when I need a ride and not use the app. I've never taken them up on it, but I assume they can offer a lower rate and still take home more money.

Directions for adding in Dark Mode/Theme into Slack 4.0 using Windows (It should work mostly the same on other OS's, but you'll need to tweak it a little): 1. You'll first need the ability to open .asar archives. This ca

Thank you so much. Marriage will be coming up fairly soon in my life and I've been dreading the expense. I hope my girlfriend finds this article as eye-opening as I did. The amount of many spent on a ring, ceremony, and reception have

I agree 100%. I've been a following FI for a couple years now (just graduated last year) and it's helped me feel a lot more secure about my future. I worry about less than my peers too.

I don't think that buying coffee is necessarily a recipe for disaster financially, but if you are strapped for cash and have a $100/month latte habit then I think you should probably address that. I'm all for spending money o

This is the right answer. I got mine for $250 on Craigslist. Some office was closing, so they were selling all of their office furniture. You can find good deals out there. I wouldn't buy new.
