My advice: Get an automatic scale and tracker. I use the FitBit and FitBit Aria scale, and weigh my self *every day* after I wake up and use the toilet. You will *NOT* see progress initially, but if you keep tracking it and keep at it, you'll be able to look back and know how far you've come. Without it, I wouldn't have noticed the incremental gains of losing 66lbs over the last year and a half.

While I totally agree, I'll point out that raising employee wages by $1 per hour is roughly $2 billion per year. Aside from the rocket which is paying for itself by government contracts, the stuff totaled doesn't even add up to half of that. So yeah, he can afford to pay far more, but this relative costs nonsense never makes a realistic argument.

And last year for the first time in NZ history a morning TV presenter was a Maori woman with such a tattoo, in the past the networks didnt allow visible tattoos, but after realizing that it was freaking NZ and the Maori's homeland, a network made an exemption for Maori face tatoos.
