That is a great story! I've seen companies pack trunks of cars with unclaimed scrap. Buy a 55' trailer with cash, fill it with stuff, then claim it belongs to the neighbors. Load material onto 30' racks and send the forklift

I think the only time it truly makes sense is when your credit is so bad you can't take out another line of credit, assuming you can afford to pay it back. The only pro that I could see to it was that it doesn't require a credit c

I'm pretty sure ISO 9001 companies are audited every 4 years at their own expense. Basically an auditor comes and quizzes you on your own processes. You must show that you have processes which meet ISO criteria, and that you religiousl

Because nobody profits off the time/value of money nearly as much as the banks do. If transactions were "instant" the bank wouldn't be able to kite your money. There really is no reason transactions need to take as long

If you're buying pot off the street and it comes with a label; you're getting ripped off. Seriously the stuff has been popular since the 1960's. I think we can all agree that smoking "pure" pot, mold bugs and all, i
