Are you sure your not a government worker? I mean, putting someone in a dark hole for life over $200 does sound like one.
I
Not a govt. worker. Whilst I don't have any respect for him these days, I don't want to necessarily see him in a dark hole, but I won't mind making money out of his misfortune since he has made money from mine.
to get a new credit card couriered to a backwater in Brazil because he thought he was helping the world by publishing my personal details and my credit card details on WikiLeaks.
All because I subscribed to a geopolitical newsletter which I used for research to write investment reports, but WikiLeaks thought I was part of an international private spying network. If I was I certainly wouldn't be on/. I would be drinking martinis on a tropical island whilst contemplating my next mission.
The good news is that eventually he will have some sort of medical emergency and will have to be taken to a hospital. Hopefully, I will get my money back then by laying a bet that he will be put in a dark hole somewhere.
because when they automate everything, they can sack all those minimum wage drones and then stop them breaking into rich people's homes because that is the only way left to feed themselves/family.
LOL, considering that part of that agreement was that the USD was used as a reserve currency, thereby guaranteeing the US endless supplies of debt, which contrary to popular belief does not really need to be paid back as long as the status quo is retained, which is what US policy is all about.
Seriously, you must have rocks in your head if you think the US did all of this out of altruism. Next, you will be saying that the US sent soldiers to Europe ww1 & 2 out of your love of fellow man, rather than that US national interests were under threat. (ww1 was affecting trade, ww2 worried the US that the Russkies would roll over the top of Germany all the way to the Atlantic, creating a massive Soviet state)
Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly like the US or its political system and materialistic culture, but I have plenty of American friends and I don't abuse Americans in the streets either. But I also don't feel any need to thank you.
That's because America has been guaranteeing their security for free for 75 years. What has long enabled that free world to exist is the post-WWII American security over watch which allowed countries of all sizes to escape fear. The Americans outlawed war among the participating members of the international system, and for the first time in world history imposed security upon the global commons so that anyone could purchase any resource from anywhere as well as export any product (most notably to the open, ravenous U.S. market).
And we get precisely zero thanks for this, and vile mistreatment. I haven't heard a kind word for years and years and years. Americans on holiday will lie and say they're Canadian just to avoid being verbally abused.
I had a WhatsApp chat with my friend about news analysis software which I have not done anything with for years, and 30 minutes later I was seeing Facebook ads for news analysis software. So Facebook is scanning my end to end encrypted chats, which is considerably worse than finding out I love gun toting puppy dogs.
Well, the Concorde certainly was banned from flying at supersonic speeds over land, even at 45,000 ft or whatever it's operating altitude was., and that was in the 70's/80's when planes were a lot noisier, so while it may not have been earsplitting it must have been pretty annoying.
I long for the days where you could buy a race-prepped Ferrari from the factory, drive it to Monte Carlo and enter the Monaco GP, and have a not unreasonable chance of winning it.
and Siberia gets a bit warmer, Russia will be able to get to all those untapped resources (way more than the US) and the US will lose pretty much its main geographical advantage, the one that is responsible for most of its wealth (a comprehensive river transport system linked to prime agricultural land).
I was reading that the hegemony of the US will probably last another 2-300 years, but climate change is probably the most likely thing to change that.
Trump didn't get to the latest school shooting and confront the shooter because it was over before he could get on AF One, but surely he could have faced this storm off.
Judging by how much Americans are chasing each other's and their own tails, I bet the ROI on this ad campaign far exceeded the profit that was made from bitcoin even if you bought them in 2012.
Maybe the FSB or GRU can sell the CIA the compleat idiots guide on how to interfere in a foreign election without spending a fortune like the CIA usually does.
They're a US public company, so the "common good" is irrelevant.
Greed is all that matters. Forget morals or ethics, we're lucky if a mega-corp operates legally these days.
They can be sued by shareholders for not making as much profit as possible unless of course that profit was illegally obtained. Greed is builtin to the system, so anyone who refuses business, regardless of how immoral or unethical they think it is, can end up in front of a court.
Maybe you should learn how the EU works.
The EU executive proposes laws and directives and the EU parliament approves or disapproves them. So yes they certainly do have actual power.
Sounds like there was a kickback in there somewhere. I am not sure what the latest kickback techniques are in the US.
I know a favoured kickback in China is for your child to win a scholarship to Oxford, Harvard, etc. with generous living expenses, car, etc..
You obviously haven't driven in Spain for a while, the highways are very good, are modern and well maintained. According to Google Maps I can get from Tarifa to Bilbao in 9h 51m, and in my experience that is conservative.

At least UBER is not doing the research on target acquisition.
And like Canada they are way too fucking cold!!

Keep doing it and you will soon see a nice spike in skin cancers caused by extreme ultraviolet light getting through to the surface.

And they'll succeed, too, because a little more than half of the population are too ignorant, clueless and gullible to see what's going on.
"All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing". And these days, I see a hell of a lot of good men doing a hell of a lot of nothing.
You assume that people aren't too busy just trying to keep their kids fed and a roof over their head to give a fuck.

The more likely explanation is that people just don't have the disposable income they used to, in fact, it has been declining for years.
