    Your experience is not the norm, nor is it one I would recommend in most cases. You should find an agent you trust and can work with well to represent you, and they should be the o…

    Any crunching of what numbers? You and I have no idea how many Chinese people have been infected or died of COVID. As recently as earlier this week the Chinese Gov’t was claiming 1…

    That’s patently ridiculous. A device that can put out a steady 5kw at nearly zero cost generates >15k worth of electric bill offset annually in California. That would make it worth…
