Why on earth Putin & Co will try to evade taxes and hide his money? Why would the anti-russia media focus on one powerful rich person as being bad? Gee, I wonder...

The data isn't available because it's only for specific media outlets to report on. They would hate to incriminate anyone who isn't Putin by accident.

The author said as much in her last sentence: "It’s the work I want to own." Upward mobility is largely a myth www.buzzfeed.com To say it's just a story about her experience is subversive, to say the least.

It was either: 1) A brainfart on OP's part or 2) You're watching someone who doesn't do chores pontificate on how bad "the poor people" have it.

"We do chores. You live life." The implication being that they consider their workforce to be less than human. That doesn't follow at all. Just because people do chores it doesn't mean they aren't able to live or

It's possible, but the usual pattern is that Intel is slightly price-competitive with AMD when the CPUs are in the same range of performance, and then Intel's prices just rocket upward after that. There's no reason to not com

finally come around to the idea that climate change exists Yes... they somehow impose carbon taxes, go to climate summits and make up protocols to agree to but none of them believe in climate change.

Climate change scares me so much It shouldn't. The climate has always been changing. Do that thing that humans do: be adaptable.

He's not a Mozilla exec. He got shamed out of his job for having had donated money to a group that was against same-sex marriage. Basically, all people who hold Christian values don't deserve to have a job.
