The post says he won't make "yacht-and-helicopter money"... I think helicopters are cheaper than he thinks. On a billion-dollar acquisition, I can't imagine the near-cofounder having less than 1% (hopefully quite a bit more). This means a

A North American friend of mine went to Cuba a few years ago. He had a piece of glass in his elbow that had been there for a few years. He knew it would cost at least $700 to have it removed in the US, so he never did it. When he was in
