20 years later a child has some sort of disability and you are ready to kill yourself, even if the disability is not from radiation. Never mention cancers or even coughs--"it might be from radiation, I'm probably gonna die."

I'm guessing that this extra-legal money is quite happily parked in legal low-tax economies earning interest. I'm certain that even if they're losing 2% they are quite happy to have it out of China. This is not a Chinese fa

Pollution is probably a price that a country needs to pay in its early stages of modernization. Militarily, China is checked by Vietnam, South Korea, Japan....and drum roll...INDIA. No large country like India wants a military monster next

My thesis was that it's possible not to use the most advanced stuff to find them. Sure sucks that Argentinians died, but it would suck more if 1000 US sailors died and we lost the next war. https://theconversation.com/

I believe it as probable. Say "Submarine found in x waters 145m deep." if this isn't standard, and signals an improvement in current tech, Russia and China will wonder why and start to piece things out. The problem is that su

Used US banks, maybe a US based corp was bidding and was harmed by the bribe, the crime was committed /planed in USA...etc etc. But they pass a law and they get you. And the law is legal in USA because the bribe affected commerce, even

Worse since it's legal. With "bribery" at least you risk jail and huge fines.

Most doctors tend to specialize anyway so why should a heart surgeon spend so much time learning about other organs which they're never going to sink their scalpels into? Because everything is linked?

I remember in one clinic...7-8 nurses at one docs office. 4-5 minutes time with the doctor and probably a $150 bill. A lot of money also goes for people to process insurance claims

I think yes, might be wrong but it's logical (logic and taxes don't always mix, so I may be wrong). You bought Bitcoin at $1 and sell at $8000 to pay for a house, you need to declare income of $7999 for each Bitcoin at the end of
