You continually assert that subsidies, lowered taxes, and regulatory exceptions haven't been regularly given to these companies. I would assert instead that it isn't difficult to find the opposite, and that all too often that mon

I used to smoke, now vape, and what I like most about it is that I both get my nicotine and I can also be very physically active. Physical activity is something that I could never do when I smoked. Edit: And I do accept that vaping is prob

He is one of the most well-liked candidates of all time, yes. I believe that he would have won an honest primary also. How did he lose 4 million votes? Most of that can be found in the DNC emails, among other places. There was a huge med

After a local tech demo with some CSS3 stuff included, I was amazed by how much could be left out of javascript entirely. My goal with my next project is to learn when to use React vs. jQuery vs. CSS3 for various events that will occur on
