We don't have a formal customer profile where I work, but I can say that having a clear idea about what type of client/business you're going after makes a big difference. From a sales standpoint I've started closing much bigger numbers because I'm not spending time reaching out and having back and forth with customers that will never have big orders. Little orders still come in and we handle them same as we would big stuff, but we're not sinking time trying to find and win them.

I wouldn't listen to this advice, personally. Driving with an expired license is more black and white than speeding. With speeding could have been other cars around that the radar was picking up, the radar might not have been calibrated recently, the cop might decide it's not worth showing up.

I've pleaded not guilty to several speeding tickets and got some dismissed and some reduced (I lived in a rural area as a college student and they made a lot of money that way)

One time my sister got a ticket and asked me the process to expect when you plead not guilty so I told her - but I didn't know she got the ticket in a school zone. When she got there the cop got up on the stand and ran through his certification to operate the radar and when it was last inspected and they asked her how she could explain that she could possibly be not guilty and she got whatever the big fee was. (Which I assume she would have had to pay anyways but without the embarrassment)

It's not in dispute that your license is expired, and I would think hard to dispute that you got pulled over while driving. Given those two facts I don't see an advantage to pleading not guilty, you might just annoy the judge, which decreases likelihood of lenience.

Like others said. you're not going to jail. You'll be ok. You'll get a fine and maybe points on your license.

I wouldn't say you're housing insecure unless that's true.

I thought parody is protected? Isn't that the whole deal with weird al, he asks the original artists but he doesn't technically need permission?

That's interesting. If you document more discrepancies please share. I could totally see Hulu or other platforms doing this type of thing to somehow get more favorable metrics - showing more ads maybe?

Some questions: Is it your position that people can't understand each other when using this apostrophe? Are you saying that only business people use this apostrophe? And are you saying that the only people who can be trusted to correctly use language are those at newspapers?
