"No recent revolving balances". Not really an issue of "not spending enough", as far as I can tell from Googling. If you have at least a few cards open, the complaint is you haven't put any spend on some of them for a while. Why that's considered bad I have no idea. So, same spend but distributed over all the cards would clear this up. Or, if you can close some unused ones and still maintain the other criteria, that's an option.

I hadn't realized this myself, and do in fact have 3 -- soon to be 4 -- no-AF mothballed cards. So I need to consider this myself.

Our company took over a floor and designed it to be an open floor plan for everyone below the program manager level. Even though I would have been allowed to work from home half the time, touring where I'd be working shortly definitely added weight to my early-retirement decision.

And to that list you could also add Sessions' rollback of various policies, and a lot of other things. I should have clarified that I was referring to his legislative efforts with Congress. But none of the things you've listed strengthen the claim I was arguing against. It still looks to me that the Republicans and the bureaucracy are doing anything but resisting or trying to undermine. I'll even grant you a lonely example -- they are at least standing up to him on Russian sanctions.

The reason so little seems to get done is because Trump has focused almost entirely on health care. The Republican leadership -- and the vast majority of the Republicans in Congress -- have in fact supported him. So your statement makes no sense.

If they wanted to "depose" Trump it is very simple. There are already multiple credible arguments for drawing up Articles of Impeachment, and maybe for acting under Amendment 25. If they did so, Trump would be gone. Do you see a SINGLE Republican even hinting at the possibility of this? You do not.

I really don't see why the above summary says certain categories will pay more. The TPC article (yeah, yeah) shows negative numbers for ALL quintiles, with the top one of course having the by far largest %.

This, by the way, is one of the reasons why they were desperately trying to pass a "Health Care" bill which -- even with a giveaway to the rich of its own -- was intended to cost less so they had $ to balance against lost income here.

Note that the article says they used the same 10/25/35% brackets Trump proposed last fall. He did not specify the actual brackets and still hasn't. So this is somewhat speculative.

That said, anything with a lowered top rate, and the removal of the AMT and Inheritance Tax, will help the wealthy immensely. This is what we should be pushing back on.

How true. Fortunately, China's air and water never crosses its borders. Oh, and any government or civil unrest caused by such problems never will either. (Ok, maybe there's an implied /s in your post just as there is one in mine.)

"What you do" is not to defraud the client.

I think you are saying that this was a contract where the client got to approve the specific people, not just the job/billing categories, that work on it? And the contract had no clause for agreeing on replacements if needed? Agreeing to such a contract is risky, and your company paid the price of doing so.

But I also have wonder: 3 of the 4 named people "quit within a month", and gave so little notice that they didn't stay up to that deadline? Either your company did a really crappy job of gauging their likelihood of staying before it nominated them, or they all had unexpected medical issues, or there was something unexpected and very bad about the client or the actual work. In the latter 2 cases at least the company could have room to work with the client on any needed contract mod.

Large companies can afford to keep paying employees that are not directly generating revenue. Usually they are either in training, or working on internal projects, both of which enable the company to improve what it can do for clients later.

In fact, I'd say the gyroscopic effect is a part of what makes a fidget spinner interesting. To me, anyway. (I know I'm a fidgeter, so I picked one up recently.)

It's really difficult to determine whether this would use the voicemail service of your provider, or the voicemail on your phone. I found a WaPo article https://www.washingtonpost.com... which quotes the RNC as saying it's the latter: '"[D]irect-to-voicemail technology permits a voice message to go directly to the intended recipient’s mobile voicemail via a server-to-server communication, without a call being made to the recipient’s telephone number and without a charge," wrote the RNC.' Note the "mobile voicemail".

Poorly programmed only in the sense that they sometimes get more hits than they have available scammers to connect. So sometimes when you pick up you are denied the opportunity to waste their time. That disappoints me, anyway.

Well, this one has dual-sim and Android 7. How much that's worth of course depends on the buyer.

What makes you so sure it's legal? Cloudflare is arguing that it's not, and the odds are they've got better lawyers than you. Both Righthaven and Prenda did get into trouble on this point.

Well, he DID insult gays. Implying Trump is a gay insults gays the same way that implying Trump is a weasel insults weasels.
