Useful for everyone who isn't no-hits out there

This could be very useful clinically.

This is the most stupid pearl-clutching I've seen in some time, and that's saying something.

Search and Siezure without warrants. They didn't even pretend to try. And then the nerve to demand they sell all their property for next to nothing to the USG, and are not allowed even to rent it out.

Now nobody will bet a penny on their diplomatic missions being safe around the Americans.

This, I fear is the point of no return in our relations. Like the script the cops have written for themselves by being so arrogant as to brook no challenge to their authority, this too will result in blood. It's telling that YouTube blocked the video.

They're now banking on getting a haircut with their lenders. Methinks they'll get a decapitation instead.

The guy has it wrong, but his finger is directly on the pulse of the zeitgeist. Pretty lulzy overall, being over-the top painfully hip.

Long story short, everybody is living beyond their means (or trying to look like it without actually doing so). And they're pinning their hopes on speculation, and will get screwed.

That was quick

As is the case with all public sector pensions.

Quite the escalation. Nothing good can come of this.

Pretty much what you expect from Salafists. Doesn't hurt the Israelis are covertly supporting them.

When the CB owns 50% or more of outstanding shares, you basically live in a command economy. Just wait until they own all the mortgages...oh wait

Over the Hurricane. Where is your precious 2A piece of toilet paper now? Adjust your sights, folks. $STUDY

Not just the unconvicted ones now!

Once a STASI, always a STASI

Smart. Can't rely on USA sugar daddy forever, and the Russian plan seems to offer a more credible path to peace and prosperity than the pentagram's.

Gee maybe if Loan originators couldn't pawn off all risk to GSEs they might give a shit about the risk to the capital and not have loaned to build these places in the first place? It certainly doesn't help that the FED has encouraged this malinvestment with unprecedentedly cheap money.

Kill them gooks! Who cares that S. Korea is 1/10 of world GDP and would be vaporized instantly!
...
These chikenhawks are real brave with other peoples' blood.

The Would-Be Hindu Hitler continues the descent into madness.

This is a big enough breach to ruin them as a firm, and cause serious disruptions to the economy. This and the two hurricanes (along with the already obvious signs a downturn is on the way) imply this is fall shaping up to be a good buying opportunity.

Can't make Gladio B obvious, man

Reporter, being an access journalist, continues to lick boots.

You git your 'pinions where you git your cornpone. Any dissent with this will get you fired. Those who wish to work with people you disagree with like this must learn stoicism and forbearance with regard to vocalizing your feelings. That said, it is understandable that a group of people (techies) who experienced mostly ostracism in their lives growing up might be upset when told they're privileged oppressors.

But what about muh free speech?

Never existed. Never will. The law of the jungle is the only law, ever. Let none tell you otherwise and you will understand the Riddle of Steel.

BONUS: Slate Star's take. Relevant excerpt:

This is the world we’ve built. Where making people live in fear is a feature, not a bug.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Nobody has any real policy disagreements. Everyone can just agree that men and women are equal, that they both have the same rights, that nobody should face harassment or discrimination. We can relax the Permanent State Of Emergency around too few women in tech, and admit that women have the right to go into whatever field they want, and that if they want to go off and be 80% of veterinarians and 74% of forensic scientists, those careers seem good too. We can appreciate the contributions of existing women in tech, make sure the door is open for any new ones who want to join, and start treating each other as human beings again. Your co-worker could just be your co-worker, not a potential Nazi to be assaulted or a potential Stalinist who’s going to rat on you. Your project manager could just be your project manager, not the person tasked with monitoring you for signs of thoughtcrime. Your female co-worker could just be your female co-worker, not a Badass Grrl Coder Who Overcomes Adversity. Your male co-worker could just be your male co-worker, not a Tool Of The Patriarchy Who Denies His Complicity In Oppression. I promise there are industries like this. Medicine is like this! Loads of things are like this! Lots of tech companies are even still like this! This could be you.

In summary, read the book We for how the Gramiscian kafkatrapping future turns out.

Expect light posting if any this week.

Damn.

Wonderful news. The child is a miracle. Was dead for 2 hours and came back.
