Unless you're an expert in contract law then your interpretation of "Best Reasonable Efforts" for a pharma company during a global pandemic is less than worthless. As is my own.

My interpretation comes from 2 seperate lawyers. Why are they wrong?

Except the wording in the EU contract is too vague and loose, and isn't a commitment beyond best reasonable efforts. Obviously the Commission (publically) disagrees and is using AstraZeneca as a scapegoat for its incompetence.

Which is exactly why AZ split the UK/EU supply chain to try avoid such issues entirely (CEOs words.) The contract is vague and nonspecific about commiting UK factories to supply the EU. The whole thing is a parody of Brussels bureauc

Or take visa? Or any other credit provider? Or a debit card? Heaven forbid that we allow payment providers to compete to provide the best service at the cheapest price.

I believe you're talking about Human Factors which is an entire field of study in complex systems and psychology. The book The Field Guide to Understanding Human Error might be of interest.

As far as I can tell the score is based on levels and patterns of activity, and whether 'bots' follow you. Not the actual contents of the tweets.

I just ran my own Twitter account through the so called 'Botometer' used to form the conclusion of the article. Apparently I'm 4.7/5 bot. Needless to say I didn't finish reading the article.

These were people who came to kill. Or protect themselves from counter-protesters? Are you saying anyone with a gun at the event had the mens rea for murder? There are probably more guns at the average baseball game.

How many massacres and beheadings have been live streamed on FB at this point? And yet very few seem to think FB is the problem.

It's rather infantile to think forcing millions of people you disapprove of off a platform would make them magically disappear. Does closing your eyes make the monsters under your bed go away?

The first amendment never anticipated the public square to be privately owned. Unfortunately I feel things will have to get much worse before people start listening to the adults in the room again, and enact sensible reforms.
