Uber is a company whose success is based on convincing regulatory bodies that their laws and regulations don't apply to Uber, the toxic company work culture is a reflection of their business model.

It's who you're having meetings with... as long was they come out of the meeting feeling like they've been boosted into a higher orbit.
Meetings where people clash and slow each other down can be ok too if neither party was heading entirely in the right direction... Less likely in your case.

And also in the process plunge America further into debt, widening the structural deficit again and closer towards default and collapse.

Locally we can thank Gina Rinehart for managing to con Australians into giving away their sovereign wealth. During an historic resources boom, the miners made record profits, whilst the liberals gave the Australian tax payer a trillion in debt in return.

Cost of living is a world wide issue. Australia has seen lower inflation than other countries, by comparison we're ahead. But the richest 1% are ahead by an exponential margin.

My heart goes out to the Palestinian people who have Hamas as their "protectors"... From where I'm sitting Hamas and the IDF / Israeli right are equally responsible / culpable for their plight.

Doesn't it also say a lot about Hamas, that they build a network of tunnels to protect themselves, but the general public has no where to shelter from a war they knew would almost certainly ensue after they went into Israel, shot, kidnapped and raped defenceless Israeli civilians?

If you haven't noticed Trump is extremely busy trying to create headlines to distract the American people whilst his team do things they'd rather not draw attention to. It's the classic "look the Goodyear blimp" routine and Trump is the master

My take on this comment...
Good... People who think the societal norms of the 1950s were just peachy, should only have access to the technology that was available in the 1950s...

It's an exercise in power, intimidation and control. I doubt they'll read many of the replies, they'll merely count the numbers from various departments to measure the weak spots and points of resistance

I wouldn't discount it. It's obviously not pointless otherwise they wouldn't make any statement at all. The choice of words seems to be an incitement to further atrocities. Words matter, especially when millions of people face the consequences of them, especially the families of the victims.

I have full sympathies for the family and these children, but the publicly available information reads like propaganda, if they are going to make such emotive and sensationalist claims, they ought to back it up with forensic evidence. These bodies would have been decomposing for over a 16 months..
