Meanwhile, NBC and FOX were all over it. Instead, those channels are filled with nothing but every possible piece of nonsense from our political world.

Are we really such a shallow society that we prioritize every trivial thing Hillary blabs about over the fact that the world's greatest innovator is gone? Sure, most of us can't afford his products (we settle for their successors, which includes the computer we're using right now), but our political elite and the rest of the "upper crust" just love to pose with them. Yet, his creator clearly isn't worth a single mention to them.

So, Steve, R. I. P., and may Hillary and everyone just like her disappear forever!

R. I. P. to the man, truly. But there are a million other things that should be taking priority right now... like how an entire grade level is basically bullying one little girl just because she doesn't have an iPhone.☕

Henry Morris3 said:"Every single employee is required to take two 20lb bags of charcoal for the grill as part of their payroll," read the notice posted on the bulletin board at the Associated Press.

Article.

That's it. Honestly... probably the most painless way to handle a cash flow crisis where everyone actually walks away happy. The business owner settles his debts to the staff by providing supplies instead of cash, the company offsets what they owe by taking compensation in kind, and the workers end up with plenty of fuel for their backyard barbecues... quite practical, really.

Would you guys ever agree to an arrangement like that at your job? You know, where the company accepts goods to offset a debt, and then you receive those same goods as a portion of your paycheck?

Unless it’s something I actually need... I'm not interested in lugging random junk home just to pile it up in a corner without even knowing what to do with it. No thanks.
