I have a better question, should I force you to run a background check on your local supermarket checkout clerk? Or should I let you decide on your own whether or not to trust people? Remember, no one is forcing you to use Uber. If...
A good question people need to ask themselves, especially today, is: how deep should I look? As in, how far back and how many resources should I use when check in to someone’s background? The short answer is: all of them. The long answer is to ask...
