I mocked the ridiculous attitude that many technical people have about how CEOs have no idea what they are doing and the software developer has it all figured out.
It's not only technical people and it's not only CEOs. We can all do somebody's job better than they can. Heck, after a few beers make that everybody's. The giveaway is when the word "just" appears in the perceived job description.
There is a reason for financial reporting, and people without this data will make conclusions based on things they see (eg, the premium coffee service being canceled) and generally end up making the wrong conclusions.
If it's a listed company everyone will have the data (perhaps after a delay) since they're obliged to publish it. Then there are those who, ummm, massage the data. And those who do have accurate data sometimes fumble the ball spectacularly.
So why would your first assumption be that the people who have all this information and do have experience with strategy are idiots and have it all wrong?
Are you saying Dilbert's not true? Seriously, it's just a popular trope. Are you old enough to remember M*A*S*H? Same thing, except the army instead of a corporation. I'm sure there are examples from other fields too.
Clearly not all CxOs are utter mongs or there'd be no companies left. But it's also true that some have got there by connections, bullshit, backstabbing and having good hair and have no clue what they're doing. And some do know what they're doing, and it's not in anyone's interest but their own.
While some sort of arrangement will no doubt be negotiated, it's not going to be anything like the status quo. You can't expect other countries to release the UK from its obligations while still enjoying the benefits those countries have to sacrifice to get.
If they don't release these obligations, then the situation will remain as it is. Which is what status quo means.
To be fair to someone other than you, only a fucking retard thinks that conventions dating back to the days of feathers dipped in soot apply to modern communications.
Except lawyers, salesmen, my kids, lawyers, politicians, my wife, and lawyers.
That aside, if it mattered I'd probably try to write it a different way - "has double the top speed", or using actual (approximate) numbers "can fly at around 750 knots instead of 380".

Who voted for that? The original treaty involved free movement of workers - not the same thing at all.

You need something to compare it against. Do you know guys of a similar age who didn't go to college at all? How good are they?
Vueling are shite. I was so late with them last time I flew I waved at myself coming back.
When a zombie eats your brain you can take some satisfaction from knowing that he's going to die. Again.
it's the Russians.
knowing != caring.
Me too. Both of them.

You seem to hero-worship them a bit too much.
No it doesn't. Most UK regions (pseudo-countries aside) have zero legal status.
This was a nationwide one-person one-vote plebiscite. Why is that not compatible with a democracy?

If tariffs are introduced on tea (or whatever it is that the UK makes) then the UK will introduce them on cars & cheese.
If they did that, there'd be leadership elections in Germany & France before you could say "fuck shit, the whole country is on strike and rioting".
How would calcium carbonate scrub carbon [dioxide]? By forming calcium evenmorecarbonate?
In any case, scrubbing and oxygen production are two different things.
Quite what?
P.S. If you put milk in coffee, you're a fucking savage.
Do you have any evidence for all that, or does it just look cool on a poster or t-shirt?
"I'm going to suggest to Congress - very strongly - that we should do some unspecified thing that might make America great again".
Doesn't really fit on a bumper sticker, does it?

True. Those trust fund brats really sweat.
The little bastards like the taste of me, but I'd be wary of creating a vacancy that something worse might fill.
Make it mandatory to label them with a picture of Charles Darwin.
If you don't get the reference and you fry your brain it's no great loss.
The first one I worked with was pretty good. Nice bloke too.
The dozen after that ... stupid, incompetent, dishonest too.
Are you being wilfully obtuse? Things have to show a demonstrable benefit if they are advertised as having that benefit.
This doesn't apply to booze and smokes because they don't make such claims (though at one time they did).
FTFY.
I totally can, because I did. Your own link suggests it's a valid interpretation:
"In a number without a decimal point, trailing zeros may or may not be significant."
If it had been "around 41" would you interpret that as 36-46cm?
