We tried the new Pizza Hut Stuffed Cheez-It Pizza
The new Pizza Hut Stuffed Cheez-It Pizza comes with four supersized squares flavored with the same sharp cheese as the legendary bite-size crackers, filled with either just cheese or cheese and pepperoni.

Community Bancorp (CMTV) – Buy
Still my largest holding and a great opportunity. Once again, I added more to my position today in Community Bancorp (CMTV) at $16.10. Why Community Bancorp?

Sometime in July 2018, Google Chrome browser will start warning users that any site is not safe to use if it doesn’t have sitewide SSL. It’s also a small ranking factor in Google’s search results. I suspect it will be become a more important factor going forward. Here is what it will look like: You […]

Does Increasing the Minimum Wage Work?
Post by Burlington Free Press. Increasing the minimum wage shouldn’t make much of a difference as the starting wage, whatever it is, is always going to be at the bottom. When you increase the minimum wage the wages for everyone else will go up to compensate for the difference as the person that’s been […]
