After all, it’s a well-established fact that vitamins are essential for the mechanics of life – all living creatures on our planet either produce vitamins through natural processes or find ways to get...

Society today is more credit-based than ever, and good credit is used for a lot more than just getting a loan. Bad credit can affect whether or not you get approved for a mortgage to buy a home (and/or how high your payments will be) and is also a factor that landlords can use to deny...

In case you needed a reminder that there are some truly, truly repulsive people in this world, I present to you the story of the manager who tried to fire an employee for taking time off because her son was on life support. It seriously boggles my mind that I even had to type that last...

Love them or hate them, guns are here to stay. Particularly in the United States, the issue of gun ownership is woven into the fabric of society.
