The problem is, that 1%-ers have access to means of amassing wealth ordinary mortals don't have.

- they can afford to hire herds of lawyers and accountants to dodge taxes.
- they can afford to set up schemes where they pay themselves in equity or options so that they only pay capital gains tax instead of income tax. Or better still, offshore their revenues altogether to tax havens. Set up fake charities.
- they can afford to lobby legislation to bend rules in their favor.
- due to their wealth and connections they are essentially immune from prosecution. OK maybe not the top 1%, but the 0.1% certainly is.

The root problem is not loans, the problem is the uneven playing field. Then of course this has been the situation forever throughout human history: the number one priority of the ruling class is that they remain the ruling class.

I guess anybody can grasp the difference between toilet paper and a rocket booster motor in terms of development effort, marketing approach and target audience.
I am somewhere inbetween. We supply specialized tools for preclinical drug development.
In the last two years there was a 80% turnover in the sales and marketing workforce. Without any apparent detrimental effect on business.
Of course there are many parameters to this, but I certainly would not deduce that marketing and sales people are system critical in our situation.
On the other hand I could remove three people from the company (60ish employees) and make sure the whole thing hits the ground within fucking months. And those are the people that thoroughly understand what we are doing, as opposed to sitting around in airport lounges or answering email inquiries for a living.

The wikipedia site says the cargo bay is 2.1 x 1.2 m, and carries 227 kg. That is pretty limited I should say.

You can't patent anything that's in the public domain already. I'd say this move is based on the negligence of application referees. Rightly so.

Plants need oxygen, the amount they release obviously cannot cover their needs.
Plants release O2 by water photolysis.

I thought it was "Privacy Beach" and street view cars collected photos of hot topless women.
Damn.

I am in a mid size biotech company.
In our field there are around 15-20 must-have titles. I was in charge of getting quotes for those titles, from 3 publishers.
The bottomline was upwards of 45000 $. Per annum. Electronic access only.
We declined.
We ask authors directly to send us a copy.

Who's that analyst? I wanna hire this guy right now.
