What should the companies have done to protect themselves against the state sponsored attack? The article doesn't say how they were compromised, so what "reasonable measures" didn't they take to mitigate being targeted

I had mostly the same experience as you, race was only really talked about during annual training sessions. I think the obsession with race in 'progressive' fields and communities comes from the current college atmosphere. My wi

Number 3 is pretty rediculous. I don't think I've ever seen another company try to claim that they are doing employees a favor by paying them less money than their peers.

That's how they taught us to choke people during basic training in the USMC, and collectively referred to the chokes as "blood chokes" because you cut off blood supply to the brain. It's suprisingly easy to choke someon
