    We’ve know for decades - take money out of politics and make it about civil service. To do so requires campaign finance reform (limits on spending and sources of $) as well as maki…

    Pay the heroes what they’re worth. Imagine if the Bulls let Michael Jordan join another team because they wanted to discourage heroism.

    What incentive do these companies have to circumvent their standard hiring procedures for you? I freelanced for nearly a decade. My guess is that they’re just not that interested i…
