Temporary Work Visa employees, without benefits, are the greatest, just ask the former IT employees of that hospital in San Francisco. A press reporter had asked one of the early astronauts how he felt flying into space, and his reply was, "How would you feel, flying on the cheapest bid."...

I have a spreadsheet on my vehicles, and I am documenting these items with date, mileage, etc. The service manager at the dealership has worked with me on warranty claims on other vehicles, so I will talk to him, just to start a conversation. If it is legitimate, he has always been upfront with...

My niece showed me these Rove Dash Cams, that her co-workers were using on their vehicles. The first one I...
