Or even if people had more leisure time, they’d spend it on working on a bigger project because it’s our driver. I’ve noticed when I made thousands a month, I spent much more time in charities, but I was still just as stressed ;) Ok that on

It’s amazing that murder gets someone 2 years only, don’t you think? I bet the worldwide average must be around 15 years discounted to 7. (Note that if he’s innoculated with AIDS in prison, 2 years is already gruesome).

That’s not an excuse for not coercing execs guilty of fraud into jail. If the US government had been lighter on GM, that would have been unfair, but’s a separate issue. Justice is due, and it’s unfair to the lowly that just living abroad is

Or he’s suggesting that if he worked at Google he would face an immediate disciplinary measure. He said he’s a manager so he’s involved in the prosecution that J. D. denounced (and was fired for).

Just out of mental curiosity, since you mention it... How does Israel (and other countries) prevent from the risk of receiving a Panamax ship where a nuclear bomb is hidden in the middle of similar-looking containers?
