Food stamps: How does the program work? - The Christian Science Monitor - CSMonitor.com A little bit of actual factual info for your perusal. We can all agree that people needing assistance has mushroomed, but the difference is in the underlying assumptions about why. I don't believe human...

There's no policy against saying things that some find offensive. It's up to the other members to let the poster know what they think. Likewise, it's not against policy to repeat the same drivel ad nauseum, or to throw in lame non sequiters to deflect criticism [or the potential], or any of a...

Without imagination & creativity, some problems would never get solved. :rolleyes:

The irony of this comment about irony is hilarious [when spelled correctly]: the writer couldn't help belittling [dimwitted] and namecalling [Barry] in the very post he tries to lecture someone else about. You just can't make this stuff up, lol.

'Octomom' is a nutcase [and the doctor who abetted her lunacy should be in prison], and John & Kate were and are horrible parents, but there are some few who can and do raise many kids very well. It's something innate - a gift that most of us don't have. It's nice that they're able to make use...

I have quite a few problems with people who just want a free ride, and they should be made to reimburse whatever they got from taxpayers. I just don't think the overwhelming majority of people needing assistance are committing fraud, as some seem to believe. This week Blackberry laid off 4500...

I wish I could find the article [Barron's, maybe?] but I've looked and I can't - yet. I understand that sales and income taxes go to the city & state, but what the city/state officials said is that after a year or so of welcoming WM with incentives, they found the tradeoff was not in their...

But it's not stress, when it's what makes you happy. Bless them - I couldn't do it, but I'm glad someone can. :D

The person who figures out how to replace Subway [et al] at truck stops with decent BBQ would make a killing, IMO, because drivers will pay for it. Even me, and I rarely 'eat out'. If I knew anything about opening a restaurant, [or making good BBQ, or hiring people, or licensing...] I'd do it...

Anyone who would make late delivery by refusing to chain up deserves to be terminated - they should not have accepted a load they may or may not 'feel like' delivering on time. What to tell the customers if no one accepts the load? That's how the free market works: try offering more money, see...

Let's see: a new to expediting fleet owner waiting for funds to buy a Sprinter - what could go wrong? Sorrry, Zfox, you don't even know what you don't know yet - beginning with the meaning of 'fleet owner'. Unless that Sprinter you're waiting to buy has some company: one van does not a fleet...

Anyone who has ever borrowed money to begin a new business and succeeded will tell you that you CAN borrow your way out of debt - it depends on how you spend the proceeds, is all. The Republican focus on the evil of debt is misguided at best and destructive at worst. Spending is a better issue...

Au contraire: we CAN borrow [and spend] our way out of debt. With judicious spending, investing the money in education [not football!], technology, and training, we can provide a stronger tax base that will in turn provide more money to repay what we owe. Short term targeted spending on low to...

When my kids were little, a lot of 'it's not fair!!!' tantrums were avoided by one simple tactic: one cuts the cake [or pie], the other gets first choice. The issues today are a result of letting the same people cut the cake and pick first slice. PS Only one of mine has turned 30, but they are...

Nice try at another nonresponsive deflection - not. Given the choice, I'd prefer borscht [hold the anchovies] to calzone any day.

Kind of interesting, how 'entitlements' has come to refer specifically to benefits that include unemployment and social security, which people are entitled to by virtue of having worked for them, but not those entitlements that are given to those who didn't earn them: corporate subsidies...

Some people post vague snarky comments with incorrectly chosen verbs because they lack the intestinal fortitude to speak clearly & the knowledge to speak correctly. If you have to be a copy cat, you need to at least understand correct usage of the words you choose to copy. And calzone was...

Re: AH September,Start of Football, Cooler Weather and Hotter Freight. So where are y Looks like no competition [from Load 1 - I did see a Panther S/T in the front lot] in Montgomery, Al. :D

Last time I took a load west in the winter, got stuck after delivery in Aspen, Co, for several days because a pass was closed. I figure the benefits of chaining are negated by the potential for road closures [that last for days] and I just don't go there [during winter months] anymore. Call me a...
