Wealth is usually gone by the second or third generation. Her parents seemed to be employees who had to put in their 9-5, not any kind of tycoons. They did afford a prep school and Stanford though, I guess that's more than most.

I wonder if there could be optimizations built-in. If I'm on the way of several other passengers going the same direction, I can just be another passenger in a larger (van?) auto. Essentially a customized bus route every day. With Wi-F

Some are not as lucky. One time CIC was so overwhelmed with a backlog of PR applications, they literally simply said, "screw it" and cancelled 300K (?) applications that have been sitting on their shelves waiting to be processed f

Can a private prison sell its prisoners to another private prison? Of course it would be called something like "inmate transfer", but I don't see how it's not possible.

My understanding is that some (most?) recruiters work directly with hiring managers.

I wonder how effective that is vs going through the middleman. I'd guess if the "end company" is small enough without the bloated HR structure, it's more effective to get in the door by contacting them directly. On the o

This may sound offensive, but is buying a $1500 sofa really a good decision if you're "poor"? I don't consider myself poor, and I bought a $500 sofa, it's pretty nice and has worked well for many years. I also have

California was part of Mexico until 1846. Quebec was part of New France until 1759. I'm not sure what your point is. Today, combined Native and mixed-Native population in the US is less than 2%. Compare that with Mexico's 88%. It
