There is only one buyer for these parts. "Paying the market price" means that Boeing charges whatever they want, and that's the market price, take it or leave it.

"obligations to provide said waste bin for, sometimes, 50 years after last serial delivery" This is obviously not a problem since you can charge literally whatever you want after the initial purchase.

You do realize that paying people to do nothing in order to take home more profit as a corporation, and charging both the worthless employee time and the extra profit for the corp that allows to the taxpayers is the definition of corruption

Only around 60% of the GDP is labor, though. 40% of the GDP on pensions doesn’t seem reasonable for a variety of reasons. If pensions are considered part of the labor cost, that would mean not 25% of income going to retirement, but 66%! Or,

Maybe you just hate the ambiguity inherent in English in this case? I read the comment as a simple note that minors are interested in him because… “sex magick!”

No. I’m suggesting that government corruption is a major reason people want guns.

Helpful comparisons. Thanks.

So if your boss decides to cut your pay by 50% suddenly, that's essentially the same thing with the same options for the employee? Live with it or quit? There's not contractual obligation on the part of the employer to actually do

Is there no legal liability to telling your employees they can do one thing and then forcing them to do another? It seems like part of the contract is being broken if you were hired for a remote job and then told you have to come into the o

I’d say anybody claiming the opposite would need to provide a source. Or even just a theoretical reason to think it could be beneficial. All I’ve ever heard is that the benefit is in tooth contact.

That just tells me that the EU is requiring all storage and processing to be in the EU, for every profile that is friends with somebody in the EU. Otherwise they can’t store the fact that we are friends.

If the point is to only have to work with one doc, then undo across docs is still not useful.
