Looks like there's barely any tax on fuel for ships and planes. I guess it's tricky to raise such a tax unilaterally... "The extreme example of this price sensitivity was California’s 1991 decision to lift the fuel tax exempt

There is bound to be a certain amount of hassle involved in flying across continents. Seems like you've got extra this time but you can still trace it back to your decision to say yes to doing it.

Regardless of any impact on employability, it's pretty clear how society as a whole suffers when large sections of the public are so ill-versed in the general state of human knowledge that conspiracy theories flourish among them.

I am hardly a fan of excessive language policing, but this phrase "a good fit" bugs me. Is it common currency? To keep asking among yourselves "is this person a good fit?" seems unlikely to encourage the sort of objectiv

Suppose you are a goldsmith and someone makes a deposit with you of two bars of gold, for which you give them two certificates. Now the regulator demands you keep 50% of your assets in gold. According to your way of thinking there is just o
