On the order of 1bn, but my memory of exact figures from a decade ago needed refreshing. In fact only $350 million of corrupt foreign monopolist cash is enough to buy the editorial position of America's premier source of fake news.

Good luck defending the NY Times on that basis.

When big money monopolists corrupt our local governments to obtain taxi monopolies at the expense of working families, the environment, and vulnerable racial minorities that can't hail taxis but can get an Uber, then it's the system that's antisocial and antidemocratic.

Uber is a social reform movement organized as a profit-seeking business. Of course the forces of corruption and reaction are going to try to stop it under cover of law.

It started with the Mexican-American war of 1846, so that is a viable theory (though the CIA was not yet involved). That's the war Mexicans still teach in every Mexican school with a big famous map showing that California and Texas are Mexican territory unjustly stolen by the USA.

"For me, the new Germany exists only in order to ensure the existence of the State of Israel and the Jewish people."

Funny then how Angela Merkel has chosen to ethnically cleanse the German people and replace them with a population whose top geopolitical priority is and has always been the destruction of Israel and the extermination of the Jews.

The new 'refugee' dominated Germany is going to be an interesting place.

Nobody says estadounidenses. The standard, common word in western hemisphere Spanish for people from the United States is an ethnic slur against us.

Which should help indicate how good an idea it is to invite more people from that region to our country.

Fixed width font on a blog? Is it still 1983 out there somewhere?

Maybe you'd be 10x more productive if it didn't hurt everyone's eyes to read your writing.

I removed the back plate to observe the damage and hopefully see if the hard disk had survived.

Apple has solved this problem in the current models. There's no longer any way for the hard disk to leave you in doubt. It's now fused to the motherboard permanently so that it cannot be recovered even if it does survive some kind of trouble.

Keep your backups up to date.

The Saudi Terror Clan spends tens of billions of dollars every year on bribing US politicians and retired politicians and military men. It's true that the US people would be fine without any alliance with the STC, but US policy isn't set by the American people.

US policy is set by politicians, bureaucrats, and military leaders. And STC has them well into its palm. That's why the STC can attack us on our own soil, kill thousands of us, and get thanked and rewarded by our leaders.

40% female? That's extremely high. Wonder how they accomplished that.

CBP agents get good wages and great benefits. They do not make minimum wage.
