It's not complicated and #1 is the answer. A few years ago at my former workplace, a top performing President of our division was quickly "removed" from the company to the surprise of everyone. Internal rumors (not publically announced in print) from management indicate that it was an ethics violation of the type you described. Shortly afterwards, everyone had to take related ethics training. In the annual mandatory ethics classes of the following years, there was a new true story of a real life example (with names changed) that seems similar to the event.

That sounds like a good story for TAL...

The peeple making the emergency calls may not necessarily be on the bus, just within range of the jammer. For example, maybe the bus is stuck in traffic due to an accident and people outside are trying to make emergency cals.

My Zune is black, althought I was tempted by the silver version. Brown can do alot, I prefer it over FedEx.

I think of it as removing the ability to unlock the hood from inside the cabin. You'll still be able to enter the cabin and operate the car (use the device). You can even get a new radio (downloadable approved apps) but opening the hood to add a turbocharger is forbidden as it can significantly change the performance of the car.

For that analogy, it would be like forcing to driver to use only the dealer to change their oil. The dealers would love that. In reality, this reminds me of the "Right To Repair" law being proposed in Massachusetts.

Sounds like Boston and the rest of the state...

Payouts may go down + premiums stay level = more profit

I think there are still places in New York City where one can get live chicken and rabbits for slaughter. I know they're still around but I'm not sure where. Live fish, eels, frogs, and other sea creatures are pretty common in the city too. Meat from a freshly killed animal taste different from one that was previously frozen or sitting in a case or hours.

In addition to checking with a credit agency, the bank could ask for your financial records such as whether you have sufficient assets in your bank accounts. What if the bank just checks the publically available information in the social networking websites? There would be no need to log in. The solution of course would be to set the pages to private.

A person's credit report in the US also determines whether they can obtain a loan/mortgage and sometimes whether they can even rent. Hence, someone with a poor credit report may find it difficult even to find a place to live.

That's a pretty helpful post. One doesn't miss potable water until only non-potable water is available. Skin moisturizers are also pretty important I think. Bring some in case there isn't any in the BX/PX.

The Under Armour brand seems pretty popular there. The desert nights can get quite chilly too

Base life isn't all that bad. In addition to books, many people watch pirated DVDs. For those who like to socialize, they can visit the MWR to go online, play console games (shooters and football are especially popular), play pool, play poker, watch TV/movies on a larger screen, etc.

In my opinion, it's not common to request work in a warzone. In general, the companies involved will put out job postings for internal and external candidates. Those job postings will specifically spell out which warzone and the type of work involved. They will also point out the hazard pay for taking that risk.
