Labor Dept. Plan Could Let the Boss Pocket the Tip

A move to allow restaurants and other employers to impose tip sharing on workers, and in some cases keep the money, is under fire from labor groups.

It is better to raise prices and pay the staff.
Tipping is bad practice.
The tip is, or should be, earned by the wait staff.

Trump Says Republican Memo ‘Totally Vindicates’ Him

Though President Trump said the highly contentious memo proved his innocence, it did nothing to clear him of either collusion or obstruction.

The impeachment will come as a surprise to Trump believers.

No Value in Fake Followers

A marketing executive says an inflated number of social media followers doesn’t actually help businesses.

Due diligence helps.

Why Did Bill Belichick Bench Malcolm Butler? Don’t Ask the Patriots.

I would like much more glass.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_tax

We need to talk.

Sooner is better.    As soon as you can is best.

There are feet of snow on the ground in Alfred.
