Do not take it personally. It’s usually just business. Even if it is personal, don’t take it that way. Say as little as possible. If you feel you were wrongfully terminated, keep quiet, gather your evidence and consult with a labor lawyer. Do not make threats, do not raise your voice, do not do or say anything that…

If you’ve gotten on someone’s list, you should have a union rep at every meeting.

It depends.  I faced that option, but I knew that my skills were in demand, so I chose to resign and get a solid letter of reference.  I had a new job in a month (I had to finish out the contract) even without using the letter.

So, he’s a workaholic who is attempting to multi-task, something that only a very few can do effectively.

Just use it as a relative measure of effort.  Aim to use more calories per time period as a measure of improvement.

I’ve never understood why everyone says it’s the ‘happiest day of their lives’.

The oil that would have flowed through Keystone XL was destined for export. The refineries near its terminus are not geared to process that type of oil.

I think that many Americans don’t look at the price (fuel, maintenance, and tolls, plus time) of commuting when they are looking for a house. It’s just not a factor for them. And it should be.

Solid planning!

1 million Americans died of Covid, it could be as high as 2M “unnecessary deaths” if we include the healthcare fallout, but a huge percentage of people over 55 simply retired before they originally intended to.

Meh. Now it just looks like a Ford, or Chevy, or any one of any number of other bland SUVs.

Are the other (more traditional brick and mortar) companies already covered by other legislation?

I am not an expert on cryptocurrencies. From what little I know, blockchain is a very useful tool.  Using it for cryptocurrency is an idea ripe grift, graft, and fraud.

There’s a shortage of cash?  Huh?  That sounds like there’s a management problem.  The business hasn’t adjusted their cash on hand, small bills and coins to the current situation.  And banks haven’t been doing their job of having enough cash to meet the needs of their customers.  There’s plenty of cash out there, but…

Didn’t that get axed years ago?

I agree with your husband “why have two apps?”

Who remembers when the GOP was:
the party of small government,
the party of letting market forces rule,
and the party of personal responsibility?

Grasshoppers > Thin Mints and not just because of the price.  You can’t change my mind.

That happened a few houses away from a friend of mine from HS.

If I lived in TX, I would be installing some sort of back up power. At minimum, a manual transfer switch and a portable generator large enough to run my fridge and A/C plus at least one TV with related electronics and my modem/router.  It should also be able to handle a microwave.
