Does chewing gum help burn calories?
Chewing gum is a physical activity that requires you to move your body in a fast motion. So, it does help burn calories but not so much of a significant amount.

See lessDo you think all stores endorse the “you break it, you buy it” policy?
Yes, stores can require you to be responsible for your actions. If your actions cause something to break, it means by law you are responsible to pay for what was damaged. For instance, say a friend came into your home and was throwing a football inside, after you told him not to, and broke your TV.Read more
Yes, stores can require you to be responsible for your actions. If your actions cause something to break, it means by law you are responsible to pay for what was damaged. For instance, say a friend came into your home and was throwing a football inside, after you told him not to, and broke your TV. Would you expect him to pay for the TV? I would, because his thoughtless actions caused my property to break. I would be very angry if he expected me to file a homeowners insurance claim to pay for the TV. It is no different for a store. Why should they take a loss due to someone else’s carelessness? If they file an insurance claim the deductible must be paid, and most commercial policies have high deductibles, starting at $5,000. A large item would have to be broken for insurance to be any help. Further, it is a separate claim, separate deductible, every time a different person breaks something.
See lessMany large chain stores can consider broken items a cost of doing business, but smaller stores cannot afford to have this attitude. They make smaller profits, so the loss of broken items comes directly out of those profits. This is why the stores post signs informing customers of the policy “you break it, you buy it.”
Do you think Jeff Bezos will indeed step down as the CEO of Amazon?
Why not? There is always a time in the life of every CEO when they step down and allow a trusted individual take charge from where they stopped. And it’s not like he’s not on board, he is taking up the role of the chairman. Jeff has achieved every single thing that he set out to do at Amazon. He leaRead more
Why not? There is always a time in the life of every CEO when they step down and allow a trusted individual take charge from where they stopped. And it’s not like he’s not on board, he is taking up the role of the chairman. Jeff has achieved every single thing that he set out to do at Amazon. He leaves at a time when he can announce their first $100 Billion quarter. He leaves a 100% success story behind at this point, it might not be as good a story in a year or five years. Like Bill Gates, he recognizes that if he has built such a guaranteed money-making machine and has done such a good job at finding the ideal successor, he’s wasting his time there, and could be doing anything else in the world that he wants without any downside. Jeff Bezos is worth 194 Billion today. Chances are that in 10 years he will be worth more than twice as much, so the majority of his wealth at that point will have been without a single day’s effort at running Amazon.
