If you work one month into 2015, stop work, and then reenter the work force at the end of 2016, you still have all of the years on your resume covered, and could take a break as long as nearly two years. It's very unlikely anyone would question it, or check it.

My roof was just replaced a few weeks ago due to hail damage. The initial inspection involved my contractor, and State Farm inspector climbing up there for roughly 30 mins. While a drone might be great for the photos, it's not going to be able to touch things, or hold a discussion, which can be necessary in cases like mine. One of several examples...I have a couple hundred square feet of copper on the front of my home, and that had been oxidized. The inspector initially told us they were paying for a new "metal" roof. We told her it was copper, and had to prove it to her by going back up and scraping a small portion.

Won't really work as the actual problem is that the last generation who thinks it's impolite to hang up on someone who cold called you is finally dying off.

Which generation would that be? I don't think that generation actually existed, as I'm in my late 50s, and witnessed much older relatives do exactly what you're claiming they don't.

The most scientific oriented government, both in policy and origin, is undoubtedly the modern democracies, created by men who were careful to study the flaws of the powerful, to account for them, and to allow for change should future generations gain more wisdom on the subject.

Which ones do you speak of? I think it could easily be argued that those modern democracies evolved in an environment that included religious value systems. Do you have any examples to the contrary?

According to a new Associated Press analysis, the average price of a round-trip flight within the U.S. for the first half of 2014 was $509.15. That’s around $14 higher than the same period a year ago. What’s more, soaring flight prices have outpaced inflation: Average domestic airfare has risen 10.7% over the past five years, after adjusting for inflation.

Clearly there's a disconnect between the two articles.

So, because you don't see the point, that makes it vacuous? Well, let's see.

1. It would either back up or disprove the GP's point.
2. It would either back up or disprove the point of the article.
3. And finally, my curiosity got to me regarding an area like SV, which is very dense in tech, vs. that of London which IMO has the claimed culture, finance, fashion industries, but not nearly the tech density...I wondered how it would compare.

Is that too vacuous?
