I have a wonderful idea for a business (almost along the same line as this). You outsource your CCTV video watching to a 3rd world country. This will help a lot since it will be a lot cheaper (even a small business can…
We had almost this exact same discussion a month ago. Firstly, you quote only from Flynn and not from any scientist holding an opposing viewpoint (e.g. Arthur Jensen). Although Flynn is a good scientist, I don't think…

I agree with you there. If you work forget about evading taxes. If you do business, do it in cash. Under-reporting taxes on items that is handled with cash (any type of shop) can save a lot of money. Probably the best…
haha.. this is brilliant. The website says: We're sorry, but something went wrong. We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly. So now I am going back to work.

Interesting idea. I seem to not be able to access the site ( SeekingArrangement.com). Not that I have enough money in any case...
There is a simple alternative – remove the stupid restrictions on H1B visas. The restriction that if you loose/quit your job that you have to be out of the country in 60 days is bad for three reasons. The first reason…
I agree with you that it tastes nice. However, either your bananas taste different or your pawpaws taste different - it doesn't taste like a banana at all!
I can not believe that there are so many workers from Haiti and Al Salvador. I would have thought that they would cut down on semi-skilled labour.
