Crowdstrike is run by humans just like you and me. One mistake doesn’t mean they are completely incompetent.

And this attitude is why there is so much of it. Why don’t you call it what it is: destruction of public property?

I don’t think healthcare for employees comes anywhere close to the list of top expenses for a company as large as Boeing. Based on the article, it sounds like the expertise of more…

Maybe a better way to say it is: when you’re investing millions of dollars in risky ventures, reputation is very important.

It’s not because they didn’t see the point in what they were doing. These people had a lot of free time and only worked a couple of hours per week.

Everyone I know who works in these kind of jobs are financially secure but extremely depressed. One of the mistaken beliefs underlying the UBI argument is that the fulfillment part…

Replacing roads with railways means nearly complete reliance on a central authority for all transportation needs. This authority decides who gets to leave town and who doesn’t, whi…

You’d prefer to make an appointment at a dealership and have to physically drive it in?
