Funny to see this on the first page of HN (I'm Maltese, although living in the US now). Lots of truth in what he said... Malta has not done badly at all since independence but Singapore is a tough one to compare to. Currently Malta&#x2

If they've been here only 7 years and are now found in states from Ohio to Connecticut (mentioned specifically in the article), I'd say the taking over is going pretty well for them. That doesn't mean they won't hit some

Since you are talking about Ford, it's worth pointing out that autoworkers in the US are still doing very well... even better since they recently renegotiated their contracts at strike-point. I am guessing that in 1960 they were doing

Because their charter says their goal is to get to AGI, or something like that. If 99% of their employees quit and their investors pull their support because Sam was fired, they're not getting anywhere and have failed to deliver on the
