Across the landscape of American history, elections have become a hallmark from which we draw legitimacy and secure our liberties. However, as time has progressed, our institutions have adopted practices that many have called into question. One of such practices is the act of frontloading, simply stated, frontloading is when states set their primaries early in the election season to try and influence the course of the subsequent voting as much as possible. Although many argue this practice gives states like Iowa and New Hampshire opportunity for relevance on a national stage, the detractors of this practice cite many of its glaring flaws.

I chose to watch the collaborative consumption video, and one of things that I found interesting is that physical interaction is unnecessary in order to gain a desired achievement. The internet and Facebook has made it possible for people to interact with each other and gain that trusting relationship without ever having to physically meet. Currently as I sit and write about collaborative consumption, I am a part of an online discussion that is designed to combine the collective reasoning of all peers within the class to come up with a more profound way of accomplishing a desired goal. At least that is my opinion and that of Chelsea, if I read her input correctly. Rachel Botsman stated that “collaborative consumption is a renewed belief in

I never wanted a Future and Drake project. While I like Travi$ Scott and Quavo as individuals, I really don't need an entire project between the two. At one point in time I actually believed we were getting close to a J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar project
Streaming - A Form of Systematic Failure “You’re so stupid.” These degrading words, which bear hints of boastfulness and pride, resonate throughout the school halls, as though one has committed a grave sin by faring poorly on an assessment.

Remote teams are becoming more and more common in modern enterprise, for many reasons. The main one is money, as it saves a considerable amount of money in a competitive market and difficult economic climate.
