Pharmacists go to school 4-6 years to learn about drugs. But hey - they don't get to use any of that knowledge in their job... "Just give me the little white box in cabinet #2 please." Why do Pharmacists even study and train

What's weird is that this blog post is really just expanding on the 2020 study by the original authors which says that the original data is unreplicatable. And provides the original data. The original authors probably should have retra

European VAT, for instance, applies even for non-European companies. I can totally see some EU politician thinking that they deserve some portion of the profits of each sale (income tax) as well as a sales tax. Potential for having to pay i

The company doesn't have an obligation to pay this money to their shareholders, ever. You might die (of old age) before you get your initial investment in Facebook shares back as dividends.
