This is my fave:

Paul Gruber, Warehouse Manager “America is not a racist country, but a federation of racist states.”

Excel is, almost certainly, the single most important and influential piece of software in almost every business.

Excel can do anything, including so many things it shouldn’t.

Believe it or not, this consolidation is almost certainly because of (good) regulation not capitalism.

The costs of building a new air frame are gigantic - the regulatory aspect in all countries is also gigantic. The barriers to entry are gargantuan - and the scale you need to be profitable is extreme.

But those regulations save lives. But they also keep competitors out.

Yeah… that’s probably sometimes true. But I also work in a tech company and holy fuck do we have a lot of dead weight.

The real issue is almost certainly that Hey doesn’t want to pay Apple 30% so you can’t do anything without an external subscription and they don’t allow you to pay with In App Payments/Subscriptions.

This guys entire marketing plan is generating controversy.

Clinton also had more experience and education in virtually every category

More accurately, it’s mostly because they’re doing it against their will. You get a bus load of people with no support system who don’t want to be here but can’t afford to get anywhere else.

The reason they should stop is it’s inhumane, not that we in NYC can’t handle more people.

The latter is the big one.

Defending this lawsuit will cost them more money than they made bussing migrants, even if they win.

Which will make all of them think twice about doing it - or at the very least charge Texas much, much more money.

Rwanda, Serbia, Armenia, and still ongoing that everyone is ignoring, the Rohingya, Uyghurs and Sudan.

It’s a strengthening of the courts - or returning to their previous strength before the law took effect.

With the bill’s passage into law, the High Court may no longer strike down administrative decisions that are deemed “extremely unreasonable,” beyond the scope of what a responsible and reasonable authority would undertake. The standard may no longer be applied to decisions made by the prime minister, the cabinet as a whole, or any specific minister. It also bars its use against a minister’s decision not to use his or her authority, and on ministers’ appointments of government workers.

“Wait, actions have consequences?” - Russia, probably.
