I can't say for certain, but I believe that statement is being downvoted because the first paragraph is factually inaccurate in each sentence: > The US followed the advice of the business schools long ago and outsourced all its core

Cool story bro, but it has been decades since the court has even pretended to live up to that fairy-tale example we tell little children about it being an impartial body of judges. The court is nine politicians in black robes who are compe

Didn't notice it in the article, but I believe this is also the source of the term 'short end of the stick' (the foil that was held by the debtor was often shorter than the stock.)

Thankfully there is not going to be any US trade deal until after the election and most likely not until several months after the Biden administration gets down to work. The UK will get hosed by the deal no matter how it goes, but the US H

The EU fisheries position is simply that the UK gets no special favours. The problem the UK faces is that the fish they catch are varieties that are mostly sold to European markets because UK consumers don't want them. Now they want

Interesting that you seem to have come to a conclusion that is basically the opposite of reality. The UK wants to have its cake (benefits of trade and travel ties) and eat it too (none of those dirty foreigners, except when we need them to

No, they really don't need a warrant and they really don't need probable cause. I could pull out USC refs but just read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_search_exception

You are quite delusional if you think the ratio is 10:1 in favor of WFH. One thing that the recent lockdown and forced WFH experiment has revealed is that while people are strongly in favor of flexibly WFH the ratio is closer to 10:1 again

At that level you are going to start with agencies that have an existing K&R team, potentially from your insurance underwriter (because if you are the sort of person who needs to consider or plan for this threat then you also have insur

Sorry, but that is not even close to the truth. The state covered only 32% of the UC system budget in 1974 when 18% of the state budget went to higher education, and it covers 16% of the UC budget now but the state spends 12% of its total

Are you trying to suggest that a ship without BVR comm is in any way, shape, or form an effective warfighting asset? Take away radios, radar, and satcomm and that ship just became nothing more than the USS Target.
