If it is an older semi with lots of miles, it might be totaled over a minor collision, a real tragedy.

She says she didn’t benefit financially, and I believe the result of the investigation that there is no smoking gun, and that no employer or client, during her professional career documented that they hired her, because she was Native American.  But, at that time, would anyone have recorded something like that? …

The story about the ten biggest thefts from black Americans included one medical story about a man who had a smallpox vaccine technique he brought from Africa, which, if I remember other stories about it, would later be critical to the success of the Revolutionary War. I believe George Washington’s Army was…

In practical terms, the landlord or property owner has to have a contract with the towing company.  In other words, it might cost the landlord, or some people are neurotic about contracts.  Often towing companies won’t go to isolated locations, but Seattle would not fit that description.

When it comes down to it, the only real value of any diamond ring is the value of the largest rock. The band is only worth $75 to $300 on ebay. Small diamonds are not worth much, if anything at the hock shop. There can be a small premium for Tiffany’s. If you are willing to take your chances, you can double the size…

The business decision to automate is usually made when the cost of labor, including wages, like the increased minimum wage and the cost of payroll taxes, including accident insurance, Social Security, Medicare, Unemployment, and mandated benefits, like sick leave, family, leave, holidays, when that exceeds the cost…

Zelenskiy’s first challenge to his sincerity as a reformer was when Putin directly challenged him to prove he is for real by allowing Saakashvili, Putin enemy, former Governor of Odessa region of Ukraine and former President of Georgia, to be reinstated as a citizen of Ukraine.  Saakashvili tried to clear the Mafia…

The defendants in the court case have insurance.

Most people who buy from Costco online and pay a bit more for the same stuff, are people who have no Costco membership.  This is one of the ways you can buy from Costco without being a member.  While most of the stuff they sell is similar to what you can buy elsewhere and a lot of their wares are not even a…

The economy is already in overdrive. An infrastructure stimulus might improve it a little, but would doubtless provoke interest rate hikes by the Fed. The Obama stimulus really took a couple of years to be implemented even with “Shovel ready” projects and of course high speed rail never happened. We probably wouldn’t…

International House of Porridge.  Stay with a sticky breakfast menu.  it works!

Thomas is not accusing women getting abortions of practicing eugenics.  He is clearly attacking Planned Parenthood, the founders of which were motivated by Eugenics, an endemic philosophy of the progressive movement of the early 20th Century.  You can reasonably argue that the evidence of Margaret Sanger advocating…

Republicans would watch a documentary about Elizabeth Warren if it had the right angle on her.

O.K., but what are Obamacare’s Bronze, Silver and Gold Plans, if not a tiered system designed by Dems? 

Was Klobuchar at McCain’s wedding?

Great way to get Salmonella!  Fortified malt liquor might kill more of the bacteria.

This story about Chick-Fil-A is a much happier, more life affirming incident than previous videos of customers climbing through the drive through window, than the usual stories from the other fast food chains, of customers climbing through the window to attack the crew.  

Bezos clearly has some personal interest in spending time in the greatest city.  100,000 square feet, about the size of a big Walmart, is like a little office away from the office, so Bezos has the infrastructure to do business from NYC.  

The history of organized crime in Vegas might have a lot to do with Meek being barred from the hotel. Many hotels are not allowed to be hangouts for criminals and the Gaming Commission and the cops would not have to work hard to figure out that Meek has a criminal record, including gun crimes. Hotels with a history of…

Legally, signatures stopped being required in the U.S. in April 2018 and this is because everyone has a chipped card, now.  In practice vast numbers of small businesses have not complied with having terminals that read the chip.  Often this requires costly updates to software, and so they do things the old way.  But,…
