Some people donate individually and not from their business because they don't want anyone looking deeply.

The reasonable complaint is that attendees are hauling their trash off the playa but the infrastructure to deal with the trash after that still needs to be improved.

Personal anecdote: I attended lightning in a bottle years ago and they had a similar "pack it out" rule. Well that doesn't help when you're not aware of that prior to attending and need to dispose of plates from food you purchased at the event. I guess the expectation is that a day visitor carry around a trash bag full of waste with them all day. It came across as lazy by the event organizers.

For California it depends on both type of work and compensation. You can still be required to pay overtime to a salaried employee if they don't meet certain criterion such as being in a managerial position.

The last paragraph rings true to me. I've had designers leave my company because I consistently picked other designs over their's. IMO it comes down to a builder versus maintainer mindset.

It may sound ridiculous but consider this: most cigarette users looking for harm reduction have already tried e-cigs and found them unfulfilling. This product, even if a hackjob, has already achieved success internationally.

That's exactly right. Recessions are not behavioral patterns. They happen when borrowers can no longer borrow more to pay the interest on their existing debts.

It is entirely possible to get your Instagram reinstated. What you need to do is know someone who has a close relationship with FB. In the past I used a friend who owns an influencer agency. After months of submitting my own appeals his single appeal did the trick.

We don't know that the person being prosecuted is the ultimate recipient of the funds. He could very well be the fall guy.

"Those are whopping margins, and the reason for this discrepancy is that rental markets have very different dynamics in expensive cities like New York and San Francisco than less expensive cities like Milwaukee. In low-cost cities, landlord profit rates rise steeply alongside neighborhood poverty. But in expensive cities, the reverse is true. In expensive cities, landlords make money through appreciation and gentrification (which is bad enough for the poor). In lower-cost, more economically hard-hit cities, they make it on the backs of the poor."

In expensive cities the underlying real estate appreciates and you make your money on that when you sell. The cash flows are mostly to cover maintenance and property tax but in some hot real estate markets rents won't even cover operating costs. In stagnant areas the property value is either stable or decreasing so you make your money on rent.

Low rent, high appreciation properties are attractive to investors who don't need cash flow. If you need cash flows you have to go the other way. This isn't surprising to anyone.

I do the same thing with tennis shoes. If I like a pair I'll go back and buy 4 more pairs before they change the shoe the next year.

Same, not counting the money I lost due to his scam trading bot that was front running the market. I think 5 years would be a light sentence here.

Mixed lighting greenhouses are common because you have a better final product, more control over the environment, and less risk of contamination from nearby farms that are using banned pesticides. There is still quite a bit of sungrown but it requires the right climate. Typically sungrown is only suitable for manufactured products.

Who pays for facilities and player scholarships? It's not difficult to move numbers around.

It's not a good return on investment because the underlying asset hasn't appreciated 7.5%/yr some 8 years later. I am not a valuation expert but as a small business I'd estimate a 3x EBITDA placing the valuation at 2.34MM. The investors presumably owned a fraction of that.
