The aim should be to ensure that the managers responsible for the decision get prison time - fed an air flow of their car's diesel fumes naturally. Anything else is window dressing - but sadly I don't see it happening. Merely extracting money from a company is to damage its shareholders, most of whom are not culpable for the criminal acts done in their name.
Whilst it is true that WESTERN millennials are getting paid less than than parents generation, across the whole world, the opposite is the case. The raising of hundreds of millions from poverty in Asia and to a lesser extent Africa and Latin America means that the truth is far more complex. And this helps reveal the problem; given that increased competition from these areas exists, it is not a surprise if workers who are, in effect, in competition with these masses get to be paid less.
Which doesn't mean that our own people don't have a problem, but any explanation which focuses on it as an unalloyed BAD THING is defective. Yet that is the message that is being presented by Trump and echoed to a lesser extent by Hilary. The result could be nasty.
As those nice Muslims of Al-Quaeda proved, having a big military is no solution to asymmetric attacks. Putin's takeover of Crimea is equally a classic demonstration of what can be achieved with minimal military effort. And of course a nuke in a container on a ship from 'X' would be highly effective; living in 'fly over' territory' has its advantages...
Sadly the products of too many university courses are not significantly more employable than they were at 18, and some - having received damage from social justice warriors to their shoulders - significantly less. A cut of 25% in the total number of undergraduates, spread between a 50% cut to English Literature, Philosophy, Gender and Media studies, 25% to foreign literature, social sciences and the like, and zero to STEM, would improve outcomes significantly.
This highlights the need to ensure that the server and so its data is held by a company incorporated under the law of the nation concerned. If that is so, local law trumps US law because the local board of directors will be in criminal court if they release the data to an unauthorised user, even if that is the US government.
Whilst you are of course right if jihadism is committed to terrorism, but the question is whether it must be. The alternative of doing massive amounts of economic damage to the USA until it does what they wants is one that they haven't attempted yet, which is what I'm getting at. A serious and sustained attack on the vulnerabilities of the rail network of a major city would probably be more debilitating and therefore effective in changing the mind of the general public than a spectacular terrorist attack. It's easy to get people to stand up to terrorism after a one off incident, but if it's meaning their commute EVERY morning is a mess?
Interesting point about their need for it to be terrorism. And there is a strange yearning after visibility; the murders of Lee Rigby in London hung around after the attack waiting to be caught. Let's be grateful.
If all countries had such viruses inserted into their critical infrastructure, then none could afford to disrupt the world's peace...
I THINK I'm joking!
One of the stranger failures of Islamic terrorism is their not attacking infrastructure assets in the West. Some trivial damage to certain items could do amazing amounts of economic damage. Let's hope they remain unimaginative.
Remember that she's over 50, so grew up before the Internet was endemic. As a result she doesn't have an instinctive understanding of how it works. She therefore parrots the phrases that she thinks make sense, whilst the kids who grow up with it merely giggle at their elders ignorance.

Such a motion would render Hilary dead in the water, forcing the convention to ask her to step aside. He's then the only alternative. Of course this assumes that there's any honour in a convention....
He asks the convention to vote that it is unwilling to select a person who has been shown to be 'careless about protecting government secrets' etc etc. The delegates would be free to pass such a motion, despite being bound to vote for Hilary when the actual roll call occurs. If a large number of her delegates support the critical motion, her legitimacy is gone.
Ah - the fun of blaming conspiracy theorists when the reality is the mere development of language.
Offering the OED quotes makes the point:
1946 J. Adams From Gags to Riches xiv. 221 Show gals are smarter and keener than most ‘civilians’.
1975 Sci. Amer. Feb. 6/3 The listening public—civilians, we call them—its composers, critics and conductors are indeed fortunate that so many excellent instrumentalists spend so much time practicing and producing music.
1986 New Yorker 17 Mar. 57/1 We spotted something up top of one of our highest towers..and we climbed up and found out it was a civilian.
2003 Metro (London ed.) 29 Dec. 8/2 When you're a football player, you're a football player, not a civilian.
The writers were obviously searching for a convenient term, and grab 'civilian'. It may be an abuse to do so, but surely all language development starts that way, and whatever else linguistics demonstrates, it does show that language shifts ALL the time. Which is why Chaucer is incomprehensible and Shakespeare is hard work.
No sensible prosecutor should pursue a politician simply because a batch email he sends goes to the wrong recipient. What should be in place is a checkbox in any donation form that the donor is a citizen of the USA, and therefore allowed to give to the recipient. The alternative is for the foreign friends of a candidate to fool his opponent into making the request, and then getting them charged.
The decision of the UK parliament on a quiet day in the late 60s to index civil service pensions to inflation is believed to be the most expensive decision ever made by the government. It also removed the incentive for civil servants to encourage policies that limited inflation.
In the early days of the Thatcher cuts of the 1980s, London Zoo announced that due to government cuts they would have to cull many of their animals.
They got the money....
The name for this in the bureaucratic game is 'bleeding stumps'; you announce cuts that will upset people to force the government to spend more. Just occasionally it can go wrong, when the government toughs it out and you have to go ahead, though this is unlikely as an alternative plan can usually be found.

Use a proxy, claim to be from X which doesn't require this. Problem solved.

To believe otherwise is fantasy. On the whole it's hard not to despair.

Here's hoping.

It can be argued that the offence should be taken more seriously, but there's some good news here.

Easy really.

Given that the cars are not fit for purpose, customers should have the right to return them for a full refund however old they are.
Easy.
This means that on arrival at a dockyard the cranes there will need easy access, which is not consistent with a ship inaccessible at sea.
