How the hustle and gig economy is choking the middle classThere are 15.8 million independent workers who are full-timers. But getting recognized as a full-fledged employee — at Uber, Lyft and elsewhere — is not coming anytime soon. On Monday the Department of Labor clarified that these workers are not entitled to health insurance and other benefits that would force companies to follow federal minimum-wage laws. Because these are not meant to be full time jobs you support your family on. The gig economy has allowed me to record my three highest income years in a row. I never bid a job. That's where these people are messing up. I seek out jobs and never compete on price. Competing on price creates a buyer's market. Don't take the bait.

Teen dies after playing 'choking game' he saw on social media, parents sayA Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report cited 82 kids between age six and 19 died after playing the choking game between 1995 and 2007. Nananananah....hahahahaha...nope...notta nothing..i was wished before to walk out or forced my science too...7.3 billion...what the hell... 'The choking game -defined as self-strangulation or assisted strangulation by a noose or hands to achieve a brief euphoric state.' That's not a game, that's autoerotic asphyxiation without the fun part. People have been killing themselves for decades doing this. My daughter, now 34, told me once that when we had grounded her (numerous times) & taking away all electronics, when she complained to her friends about it they would always comment 'At least you have parents that care about you'. They may not appreciate it now but will later.
