I'm a law student, and I've been a software developer for ten years, and this is a bad take. Efficient lawyers find the *best* solutions to their clients' problems. If the client makes it complicated, the solution's gonna be complicated. In both domains, the mark of a skilled professional is that he can help the client to identify what his real problem is and how it can be solved, and to advocate the best solution based on his experience.
We have first-floor retail fuckin' everywhere in New York City and it works just fine, because we have *smaller retailers*. Best Buy still kicks around but I haven't seen a Target in years and I don't know anyone who lives here that would be caught dead in one. Megastores are not required for good living.
I'm a software developer, but if I have to move into a cabin with no AC, grow vegetables and get a vasectomy after two kids, and in exchange I don't have to worry about the fucking apocalypse hitting in my lifetime, sign me the fuck up.
As long as he's disclosed the conflict to the board and gotten approval from a majority of the disinterested board members, any shareholder opposed is going to face an uphill battle clawing that money back. This kind of self-dealing isn't illegal and if it's done carefully it isn't even a violation of fiduciary duty. Still makes him a cunt, but c'est la vie.
Ehhhh it's been a couple years since I took Contracts, but while no contract is enforceable (as one hasn't been formed) where one party doesn't get compensated in some way, I'm not aware of any right-to-work jurisdiction wherein "continued employment" is insufficient consideration to form a contract. Where non-competes are unenforceable it's either statutory or because they've been found unconscionable, not because they're badly-formed contracts.
Burning mod points because y'all really need to work on your reading comprehension. He isn't bashing technology, he's pointing to a cultural phenomenon that is particularly common among the techno-liberterian crowd, wherein people believe against all evidence that somehow technology and the "free market" are going to save us from the consequences of capitalism while somehow leaving capitalism as we know it intact. It's a dangerously stupid faith, and distressingly well-represented in the comments here.
If we keep going the way we are, famine will be caused by irrecoverable erosion of soil and depletion and permanent settlement of aquifers, all courtesy of the green revolution. Bonus, the resulting famine will be orders of magnitude larger than any in history.
Communism was the single greatest evil of the 20th century, with a solid lead on capitalism, but I have to disagree that it kills excellence or achievement. It certainly isn't economically efficient, but Soviet scientists and mathematicians made enormous strides, some of which remarkably outpaced what we had in the West. Their performance in that regard is, in fact, one of the best counterpoints to the idea that people only work for wealth.
Property and estate law under the common law has always discouraged unproductive ownership of land, going all the way back to medieval England, long before communism was invented or capitalism was named. If you don't like Western values, maybe you don't belong in Western society.
I graduated from NMT in the mid-2000s. Dunno how it is now, but blowing shit up, breaking into any and everything physical or digital, and related hijinks were still the primary entertainment when I was there.
You're kidding, right? Airbnb, as a platform, is knowingly facilitating illegal activity. At least as far as the NYC market is concerned, that is what it is *designed* to do.
Look, unlike most of the yahoos opposing this because "muh free market" I actually own an apartment in NYC, and I'm deeply opposed to the way airbnb is fucking up our housing market. Short-term rentals are decreasing hotel revenues (and thus taxes that fund the services I use), driving up ownership costs (who do you think pays for the wear-and-tear of all those fuckwit tourists to my building?). We, the actual residents of this city, voted for this measure. So fuck outta here.
TB drugs cause liver toxicity with alcohol, its early symptoms have a lot in common with hangovers, and excessive alcohol use impairs your immune symptoms. Taken together, alcoholics become a lot more vulnerable to TB, which is otherwise pretty treatable.
My great grandfather is turning 101 this year. He has trouble walking, but otherwise gets his kicks doing whatever he pleases. I can guarantee that if you expressed a shred of pity for his day-to-day experience he'd have unpleasant words for you. I absolutely hope I get to be as old and snarky as him.
So your solution isn't to outright murder people you have deemed genetically inferior, but to eliminate them by sterilization and forced medical experimentation.
I'll bet you get offended when people call you what you are.
It makes perfect sense if their strategic aim is to deter aggression from an over-confident superpower by raising the known materiel and thus political cost.
Then write a will. What's important here is not that the parents got the rights, but the finding that the rights are transferable. That they fell to the parents in this case was because the child in question was a minor, but any rights so transferable can be made by will to escheat to the state if you don't like your family.
Particularly, in his take on 3rd parties during the election, Oliver's criticisms were superficial, largely aesthetic attacks, and he didn't even countenance, much less criticize, arguments practical or philosophical about the choice of voting outside the existing duopoly. Nor did he have anything at all to say about the parties' actual platforms, which is what an informed person votes by.
Why are you focusing on the viruses that make headlines, and not the ones that are actually dangerous? All we need is for somebody to take a historical plague for which we all have immunity and tweak it so our antibodies don't recognize it -- say, do a repeat of the Spanish Flu. That be enough of a disaster to slow civilization to a halt.
Parking spaces in Manhattan ran ~$500 a month last time I looked, which was two years ago. An unlimited train ticket for the month is $120. I'll let you do the math.

Another shining example to add to the AC's reputation for wit.

Well that brings back memories. Silver lining, the uncontrollable shaking helps keep the mosquitoes off during smoke breaks.

The ultra rich being bad people doesn't need an inference, it's a truism.

With this great new addition, LinkedIn is dramatically increasing the amount of content that I can look forward to ignoring on their platform.

Also apologies for original snark; I misread your post to include GP's mention of "prosecutor" in this context.
