You sound like you're exhausted from dealing with people who are constantly doing end runs around your software. I can understand that. On the other hand, if everyone in your org outside of IT execs despise SAP -- and make no mistake,

I'm neither an accountant nor a billionaire, but it seems like wealthy people will always have a certain amount of stock that is in a loss position. So if the "washed" stock appreciates and they want to sell it, there will be

Why? When I looked into it (about a decade ago), variable rates had paid less overall than fixed for every 10 year window over the previous 50 years. I always assumed people getting fixed rate were overleveraged and couldn't assume the

Nobody ever did. Hardwood is completely impractical to build a house with. You'd have to predrill a hole for every nail. Also, nominal dimensions have always referred to the as-sawn size: planed size has always been smaller by the amou

The average length of recessions since WWII has been about 10 months. The longest was 18 months. Do you have any reason to think the next recession will be much longer than that?

You're abusing the word "peace". Subjugation by a brutal dictator is not peace. You're the one engaging in Orwellian doublespeak. Enslavement is negotiation. Tyranny is peace. Sacrificing another country from the comfort
