One of the more confusing elements of the new world is knowing which electronic devices to charge and when.

Let’s see, Illegal immigrants are protesting outside of the White House without fear of repercussion,  and thousands of union workers in cities across the country are protesting for a $15 minimum wage. The Michigan teachers Union (MEA) is sending bill collectors to intimidate teachers and collect dues of teachers who want to quit the Union under new Right to Work laws.
