"We think this stock will do well, because the company's CEO is so charismatic" is Austrian School economic advice.
So, Steve Jobs, then.

Their whole model was built on the idea that cities would decide to create segway lanes.
Their whole model was built on the idea of having a mass-market outlet to lower the production cost of the underlying technology for use in electric wheelchairs. That line about redesigning cities was Steve Job's.
ultimately isn't it up to the PEOPLE of France and Canada to decide what their culture will be? [...] and no unelected oligarch has the right to overrule that collective decision.

The oligarchs have the power to destroy smaller markets.
It's *US*, yes, You and Me, who is responsible for this mess. You see, it's *US* who have allowed the politicians we have elected to carry out all these bullshits.
Nope, MY representative is a good guy. I wrote to the previous guy to see what his position was on this shit, and he told me it smelled like flowers, so I helped someone else get the seat.
If you get really good at the game, they give you a real spaceship to pilot!
Isaac Asimov's city-planet of Trantor had billions of people living their whole lives inside, with artificial meteorological variations in the levels of illumination.
after hours at no extra pay
I get paid a pretty good salary to work outside strict "business hours"
Spot the difference.
Why I would go to Dubai again?
Because you don't like poppy seed muffins?
Even in Dubai
Especially in Dubai. I don't understand why people willingly set foot in such a wretched hive of disregard for human rights, but they should expect a plutocratic system when they do.
This doesn't seem to involve currency or protection of VIPs.
"threatened to reveal confidential company information"
Like who's getting girls sent up to their rooms, who's getting boys sent up to their rooms...
radiation maps (and the raw data) from NISA was published regularly.
And radiation maps made by independent organizations showed contamination much worse than the official publications.
I'm not going to research this for you, but plenty of people were saying that the evidence showed meltdown and uncontrolled fission right from the start, and the officials denied it until the end of may.
I keep hearing of complaints about TEPCO misinformation etc. Reading the IAEA and NISA reports has seemed fine to me, where is all this disinformation coming from?

They denied the meltdown for months. They denied the leaks of radioactive material, they denied there was a risk from tsunamis, they just lied about everything for as long as they could.
what speed people would do if they were left to their own judgement
I don't know anywhere that people are left to their own judgment.
The German autobahns are famous for being some of the few public roads in the world without blanket speed limits for cars and motorcycles.
No, don't give me the fucking wall street journal's opinion on the matter.
If you say that Amnesty International has a beef with Wikileaks, give me a link to an Amnesty website, not to a pro-war propaganda outfit.
I don't want your spin, I want facts.
Amnesty International blasted Assange for repeated leaks where he didn't redact civilian volunteer names, leading to civilian volunteers coming under death threats.
THAT NEVER HAPPENED
WikiLeaks won Amnesty International 2009 Media Award. That's what the organization thinks of the other organization. What did happen, and you're misremembering it the way t was designed to be misremembered, is that one individual that worked for AI made a comment blasting Assange. That individual did not represent the organization. And the death threats were the same hypothetical threats that were U.S. official FUD all along, nothing real.
And it should be the law: If you use the word `paradigm' without knowing what the dictionary says it means, you go to jail. No exceptions. -- David Jones
