A few quotes from the piece: The brand’s arrival here feels like an infiltration… because of its pervasive Christian traditionalism.

Common sense is a basic ability to perceive, understand, and judge things, which is shared by (“common to”) nearly all people and can reasonably be expected of nearly all people without any need for debate. If organizations are to successfully meet the economic and competitive challenges of contemporary markets, they require people who DON’T rely on “the common sense” to guide them.

There are many advantages businesses gain by having the most up-to-date benefits technology. For example, modernizing benefits technology can help companies keep costs down, increase the productivity of HR and benefits staff, and boost employee satisfaction during enrollment season.

An ELD monitors a vehicle’s engine to capture data on whether the engine is running, whether the vehicle is moving, miles driven, and duration of engine operation (engine hours). The federal government has mandated the use of ELDs, however, there is confusion on who needs to use the device and who might be exempt.
