    A tale of two monkeys

    My own personal experience has been largely the same as yours, and with jobs were people punch a clock that's generally true. But I have also seen where men get faster raises and higher bonuses right along side of women for doing the same job. I've seen women passed over for higher paying jobs...

    A tale of two monkeys

    Yes, they do. The gap is narrower for side-by-side same-jobs, but there is still a gap nonetheless, from men working more hours and men getting higher bonuses, as well as other factors. Full story from Forbes: The Geography Of The Gender Pay Gap: Women's Earnings By State - Forbes Gender...

    Is America crazy?

    I read the article with an open mind, same as I do when I read most of Leonard Pitts Jr.'s articles. He's a columnist for the Miami Herald, but is nationally syndicated. Pitts is an excellent writer, perhaps even a great writer (he has, after all, won a Pulitzer for Commentary). He writes on a...

    Obama lied?

    But, but, but, with Obamacare, there are more people in the insurance pool, therefor everyone's premiums will be less. That's what they said.

    Fool's history

    Corrected? Are you sure you don't mean duped? Godfather Politics is famous for taking bits and piece of partial facts and creating their own narrative to fit their agenda. And they present their stories as not only true, but trustworthy, credible. And people do believe it. Largely it's those...

    Drug Testing for Welfare Recipients

    Yes, I do understand. The term you are looking for is illusory corollary. I agree that it's at the very least difficult to prove a direct cause and effect between drug testing and reduced drug use (which is why I made it an explicit assumption), at least by today's mindset and the current...

    Cargo Van HazMat

    Panther won't put anything on a cargo van that requires placarding. Hazardous materials which do not require placarding can go on a van, but they require you to have a HAZMAT endorsement on your CDL to haul it. Not sure about Tri-State.

    Drug Testing for Welfare Recipients

    Knowing how pervasive amphetamines and other drugs were in the trucking industry back in the day, I would say it's safe to assume that the drug testing is what caused the reduction in drug and alcohol use amongst truckers. If testing were to stop, the reasoning is that truckers would go back to...

    Speed Kills .... Your Pocketbook

    True, but the engineers who have done the studies are privy to it. They take all that into consideration. None of the studies have recommended willy nilly raising the speed limits. They have all been recommended based on sound engineering considerations, and in every case where the limits have...
