More US people quit their jobs in July than in any month since 2001. They figure it's going to cause salaries to increase.

Other bovines? Buffalo? Yak?
I went through that little bit of bovine country in England a while back. Beautiful country but big enough for all the beef and dairy?

As an investment scheme, however, the fortune cookie lottery is only a 4% return--and it doesn't count the cost of shelling all those fortune cookies. Just ask Mr. Salt.

That proves it. Powerball is a Chinese ponzi scheme. The Don will tweet about it soon. Mafia types don't like free market competition.
