Kindergarten

Gotta hit them with the "Per my earlier email ..."

It's the acronym for the phrase in the article - "Dual Income No Kids". Might have been more obvious if it were in caps.

Agree, I'd add your accountant to that list as well.

McDonalds is primarily a Real Estate company. Their food service is secondary.

Roads!? Where we're going we don't need roads...

Well, if you wanted to know what it was called, it's in the post description.

I agree, but some jobs I can see why, like if you're an air traffic controller, operate heavy machinery, etc. Government jobs and Government contractors ($100k+ contracts) also require them but that's a government job...

A picture of Mussolini could work also, so many Argentinians I know have Italian last names (as well as German).

The worst thing you can do as a consumer is be (blindly) loyal to a brand.

E.g. I like Columbia jackets, footwear, outdoor wear, etc. If however their quality goes down, or there is another comparable product that happens to be on sale (and assuming I like the look/style) I wouldn't NOT get it because it isn't a Colombia product.
