I had a similar experience trying to set up my family on a password manager. Something relatively simple to tech-inclined folks is like pulling teeth for the average person. For me, fortunately much of my family has some tech savvy but even

Something makes me doubt you could point out any society in history where the rich and well-connected are treated like everyone else. Not to say I think this is necessarily a good thing (or necessarily a bad thing, either) but them's t

Can I ask, was this sacrifice necessary? Were you earning decent wages or was he actually struggling to make ends meet? It is far more selfish to pursue more money than you (or your kids) need and miss out on your children's formative

You take my assertion as agreement or belief that this is ok. It's not, but if you're working to support family or pay off debts, the decision quickly loses its philosophical or moral character and only has a practical one: do I c

Makes me think that your best bet is to find a lawyer with this domain knowledge or (more craftfully) become a lawyer with this knowledge and charge ann exorbitant but less than double tax fee to consult others how to achieve this.

Is it? Sounds like OP gave some additional background, unless those bits about the housing market and the business are in that song. I think OP referenced the song but the events described happened in their life.

This is complete hearsay but I was sat next to a engineer working on the project on a recent flight. He mentioned to me that 1.) it would be delayed past October till December, and probably early into next year, and 2.) COVID, like any good

I'd go a step further and it sounds woefully disconnected from the joys of culture and life. For those it works for, I imagine that this seems satisfying but for the rest who work hard and don't hit acclaim and fortune (or at leas

Discounting a whole lot of nuance, you apparently can use Nike shoes in any argument.

Yes, but certain things are no more owned by one country or region than the world due to the dispersive nature of culture. If a Greek moves to the US and starts making feta there (say, even with the same milk fermenting bacteria), it's
