Good on the guy for disclosing his expenditures publicly, but I can see how spending over $40K of a publicly funded budget on personal academics would ruffle the feathers of taxpayers.

Id say dead politician walking but its the 2k's.

Heck even 20 years ago a drunk premier got away with yelling at the unemployed.

This happens. But seems to me an easy fix. Some sort of light/sound warning in the cab that the box is not secure 

 

bezos has balls. The gist of this story is that after the Enquirer posted text messages about Bezos having an affair, Bezos hired an investigator to learn how they got his texts and whether their reporting was politically motivated. 

As we know Enquirer did Trumps dirty work. In response to Bezos investigation, the Enquirer, in writing, tried to blackmail him by threatening to publish intimate photos. 

 

This is about New York but a similar issue arose here about the app trap spy. 

What jumps out at me is the NYPD implying people who report police presence on public streets are breaking the law.  Are they secret police now?

Up in Thompson at the Liquor Mart they have 2 - 3 security guards right at the entrance with a large amount of pictures of people now allowed to enter.  They seem to do the job efficiently despite having a dozen or so people lingering outside wanting to get the booze.

So when you steal a bottle from the LC whole security watches helplessly you can no longer go to the library with it because security will be tighter.

I'm still wondering about Sears location. Whose not in Canada from USA that can afford to expand?

Hobby Lobby comes to mind. The size is right but does KP want an end store to not be open on Sundays?
