What if Google is doing something unethical?

I think even more than that they simply do not have a choice. Yes, it sucks that Apple's suppliers are unethical, but what am I supposed to do if I want to Snapchat my girlfriend o…

Funnily enough I find the most offensive smells to be way too much perfume, or scented laundry detergent.

The US stock market is nearly always at or near an all time high

If you are upper middle class it is possible to pay zero taxes. Between tax loss harvesting, 401ks, opportunity zones, and LLC formation, a citizen can legally pay no taxes some ye…

A corporate sponsored city is a city of the future? I actually think it is, sadly.

Blockchain would also mostly solve the corrupt ICANN issues being discussed on another thread, but people here don't really want to hear it for some reason.
