Keep in mind that most multinationals are divided into separate companies for different regions. So there's a good chance that the multinational actually has a EU company they stand a better chance of getting their money from.

That's only a problem with bad unions. Good ones make sure that union members are skilled and hardworking, so that they don't make everyone in the union look bad. Those issues are not really a problem in other countries, it seems to be a much bigger problem in the US.

That $16 trillion is an incredibly deceiving figure. Technically, they did loan that much, but most of it was in ultra-short term loans, usually only overnight. Loaning $20 billion or so every day, receiving it the next, loaning it again and so on adds up to almost $16 trillion over 2 years, but in reality only $20 billion would have been loaned.

But why not give the directors more options? If 120fps or something becomes the new standard, the director can just add some blur during post-processing if he wants to take attention away from something. However, now they'll be able to make proper pans and fast action scenes that aren't a blurry mess.

The thing is, 24fps is such a low frame rate that for pans and fast action scenes, the requisite motion blur turns everything into a blurry mess. Seriously, if you can't even do a proper pan with that frame rate, it's got to go.

It's a lot easier to get into a building carrying a handgun without arousing suspicion than carrying a rifle.

There's different levels on nuttiness. Sure, plenty of people have a nervous breakdown or something once, but far fewer people go on shooting sprees. Besides, the lack of health care means it's less likely people will get professional help for their issues, since they may not be able to afford it.

In Switzerland, bullets are kept in special cans and if you simply open one without being authorized you'll get into tons of trouble. Being found with a can missing bullets or no can makes you a suspect for recent shootings, and there will be severe repercussions. Are you fine with that kind of bullet control?

I haven't looked at the statistics, but wouldn't having more rear-end collisions and fewer T-hits reduce the severity? Seems to me that getting T-boned is far more dangerous than getting rear-ended, especially at avenue speed.

Perhaps the reason you've never seen it is because they don't do it for the recognition or in order to remain in good standing with their church or community. I donate to charity pretty heavily, as do many of my friends, and we are all atheists, agnostics or Buddhists. However, we all donate anonymously (the only reason I know the others donate is that when we find a good cause we talk to each other about it, and we sometimes pool our donations to get specific things done).

The point is to engage in arbitrage between the exchanges in NY/NJ and Chicago. Those servers are usually placed right between the two exchanges in order to minimize latency.

Keep in mind that many of those papers are local, so people interested in local news won't be able to get the information online for free anymore, so that should at least motivate more people to get a paper subscription, if not a digital one.

If you want real content, subscribe to the New Yorker. You can also read a fair bit of their content online for free, but they're one of the few publications left that still do real investigative journalism. I spend about 2 hours a week reading each week's issue, so I think I get great value for $90 per year.

Try Wind Mobile. They don't cover everywhere, but for $40 per month I get unlimited talk, text and data. Of course, that price won't last forever, as they're just trying to build a customer base, but you can get it without a contract, so you might as well enjoy it while it lasts.

Perhaps she only discovered that Dietz wasn't licensed after some/all of the problems she described?
