It was a "loud minority" type of thing. The average person simply stopped drinking, which was fine. In today's market, 10% of the drinkers consume 90% of the alcohol. So the efforts of the 10% and the people serving the 10%

Roads are less complicated and "break down" much less often than buses. They are inherently "better maintained." The number and type of people who complain when roads are bad means the government pays more attention to

Here's the thing: it's actually hard to get for all the wrong reasons. For example, if you've consumed cannabis in the past 12 months? Forget about it. Source: my interim access to Public Trust (several tiers below the type

I've had two companies where HR made things better, but much of that was because I became personal friends with at least one person in HR. A lot of HR professionals genuinely want the employees to be happy and healthy and all that. A

I think that's a bit of an unfair characterization. I would replace "Want to live in fear" with "Human brains are wired to pay more attention to facts which may present a danger to our safety, and modern news media expl

I think the final example is an important piece. Ms Fry, the Morgan Stanley exec, realizes that her position is tenuous, in that it would be nigh on impossible to replace her current gig money-wise while living in Indiana. I think a lot o

I have no doubt. I was just bringing up your choice of language. You would have been a hero. It's disappointing when an amazing idea, thrillingly fast and good execution, and the dream of being like a more ethical JP Morgan to the st
