There is no analogy to bread or 10miilon dollar salaries. A company found something it could profit from more if it paid less than current market value. That is all. They are not saying there are no qualified applicants. They are not saying

If we're relying on all critical thinking skills to come as an unstated side effect of teaching math and elementary science that is sometimes taught alongside creationism then the results are obviously going to be watery. If on the oth

Or a name is not an attribute and .999... and 1 name the same thing. I would humbly submit that if your code is showing Cassius Clay is not the same person as Mohammed Ali, it is your code that would be in error rather than the universe.

To survive an attempted gun suicide is such an unspeakably, crippling and horrendous thing, it's almost unbearable to contemplate. It is certainly not something that could easily be hidden.

Do you agree with every foreign policy decision your current country makes? Are there really allot EU member states that support terrorist? Is the UK - EU divide really as violent as the Israel Palestine divide? I was hoping there was some

> The goal we object to was the attempt to build a giant country. Why? Honestly, how would that be bad? After all the UK consists of Wales, England, Scotland and N. Ireland. People of the past opposed that unity so much they were willing

Intriguing but 3 questions: How could shifting more towards Ordoliberalism (=government regulation to maximize competition plus a social safety net) be a bad thing? Quality of life is rather high in Germany after all. Is there in fact evide
