That America doesn't have the British health system?
So, there's some lawsuits and legislation going through Congress on whether employers can require that their employees speak English -- in America. I nearly fell down laughing and hurt myself when this lawyer they had on Fox News' "The Big Story" was defending the rights of people to speak languages other than English on the […]
If you've been wondering, based on that iPhone ad about the pilot using his Apple device to check out Weather.com to get the plane off the ground, why all the airlines aren't issuing iPhones to their pilots -- here's why.
