Personally, give me a stack of books and some beer. Or a dozen movie tickets and beer. No family. No dog. Nobody who needs anything from me.  Just for 72 hours.

Ummmmm...

The spine-in look works for my books by atheist authors, so my son's  friends don't go home and tell their parents that I'm a heathen. 

I just eat at the bar

Take along a small power strip.  You will become the savior of the waiting area.

It’s my understanding that they sneak into the unused cab from the outside at the rear of the train. I suspect that there is a cab at either end so the train doesn’t need to turn around to change direction.

How exactly do you do that surreptitiously? A message is a message. Either you respond or you don’t.

And what the heck do they mean by “sliding in?”

What the hell is a DM? 

It’s a running joke over at askamanager.org that college career services are often out of touch with the real world, rarely helpful and often harmful. Your mileage may vary, but be warned.

If taxi drivers made a living wage, I don’t think that was out of the kindness of their employers. It was because the employers lobbied the city governments to artificially restrict the supply of hack licenses. while the cab drivers made a good living, the cab companies did well too, without really needing to innovate…

You speak of companies not being responsible for wages and will only pay what the market will bear but that’s simply not true. Companies will pay as little as they can get away with knowing that they can have welfare programs pick up the slack or buy politicians to avoid regulation.

Yes.

Well, from how I read it, it was talking about *any* investing vs savings.

I don’t know if this is too old-school, but your company’s 401k is a good start (if they have one). It’s easy to have it taken out of your paycheck, and most companies will match funds up to a certain percent.

I always thought of these ride sharing jobs as supplemental income. I mean, it’s right there in the name “ride sharing”. You are going for a ride somewhere (work, home, shopping), so you logon to the app and share your ride with someone else for money.

How does everyone find the time to watch these shows? I doubt that I’ll ever subscribe to many streaming services simply because I don’t have time to watch everything. My wife and I can barely find time to sit down and watch the 4 network shows we have on the DVR. I’ve got 4 episodes to go on Gotham even though the…

Perhaps Western Civilization can afford to lose some symbols, given how much it's screwed over the rest of the world.

Art IS worth something.
