Well, to nitpick slightly, the case here was a potential homicide, so it didn't really count as trivial. It should be an open and shut case though. As I read the article I found myself getting angrier and angrier at how it was playing

Ah ok, it seems I skimmed over that bit! That makes it more interesting.

The article seems to be making a lot of assumptions. For example another explanation could be that crime is just seasonal. People who are less well off would probably be able to survive on less during summer when they don't have heatin

Exactly, I can't believe this is being billed as a success of the legal system.

Yeah, the headline is from the "Breaking news: Water still wet. More and 11" department.

I guess it would be easier to automate the counting. Still seems an odd solution though.

You don't have to do anything close to that for it to destroy your UT. More like a couple years of occasional recreational use. It's a huge problem with younger people who use the drug recreationally.

And no matter how many lazy op-eds are written saying it, this isn't simply a matter of Greece and Germany. A dept write-off would have huge knock-on effects in the rest of Europe, with Ireland, Portugal, Spain also then looking for si

Well it's a 140 character description from someone who's probably feeling a bit emotional. I'm sure he got a clearer problem description in the actual interview.
