That's a nice conspiracy theory you have there.
Which former employer is going to make a quick buck? The grid operator or the grid operator lobbyist? Besides, who is going to profit from a price spike when the whole point is that the summer-winter spread is inverted, so no one expects to make money from injecting?

Jeez dude. If you have a point to make, just make it. This weird sarcasm is borderline unreadable.
Anyway, everyone agrees with you that FIFA is a corrupt cesspool. The fact that Trump found a corrupt counterparty does not make his open and blatant corruption any less, well, corrupt.
The point here is that if he’s openly abusing his power for something so trivial, what is he doing behind closed doors?

It's shocking to me how badly the data was falsified. You'd think a researcher who is A. well versed in statistics and B. has seen a lot of actual research data would be able to produce more believable data.
Does this mean we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg? how many papers are based on hard to detect falsifications?

Reminds me a little bit of Ferdinand Cheval and his Palais idéal.

Well worth a visit, oddly touching in a way.

This is a great way to put it. Also, confusing having the most powerful army with having an all powerful army.

Sure, maybe, arguably. Does it matter though? A world without smoking is still better than a world with smoking, right?

Due to cost, not shortage.

KLM is citing fuel price, not shortage. They’re cutting under utilized flights which they cannot perform profitably at current prices. They’ve explicitly said it’s not because of a shortage.

Also, never explicitly stating their point. Only asking leading questions.

Has been the case for decades:

>The left won’t accept this awful truth about the American soul, a beast that they believe they can fix “if only the people knew the Truth.”
>But what if the Truth is that Americans don’t want to know the Truth? What if Americans consciously choose lies over truth when given the chance–and not even very interesting lies, but rather the blandest, dumbest and meanest lies? What if Americans are not a likeable people? The left’s wires short-circuit when confronted with this terrible possibility; the right, on the other hand, warmly embraces Middle America’s rank soul and exploits it to their full advantage. The Republicans know Americans better than the left. They know that it’s not so much Goering’s famous “bigger lie” that works here, but the dumber and meaner the lie, the more the public wants to hear it repeated.

Ports did indeed have very little security before 2001 (compared to now). See ISPS code: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Ship_and_Port_Fa...

"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Leadership isn't about avoiding mistakes—it's about unwavering commitment to the mission.
Was there a team member dismayed? Even when the data suggested a pivot was needed, the team stayed aligned.
In today’s fast-paced corporate landscape: It’s not about questioning the "why." It’s about execution and results.
They didn't just "show up"—they leaned in and gave 110% until the very end.
Into the valley of Death rode the six hundred.
Are you building a culture of radical accountability? Let’s discuss in the comments!
