I'll just leave this here. And over there, and there, and some over there, and some in the air... Of course, that's a virus, not bacteria, but the principle is the same. What's in the food can feed or kill off what's in your gut already, or the food can be contaminated, and the contamination can outcompete or otherwise interfere with the biota upon which you depend for proper digestive function. Either one can wreak havoc on your digestive system. And let us not forget antibiotics' influence on your GI tract. As we have produced greater numbers of more antibiotic-resistant bacteria through their overuse and misuse, we've led to more widespread and common use of the kind of antibiotics that are equivalent to the nuclear option when it comes to your intestines.

If poop transplants can drastically improve health, why couldn't regulating your digestive system with probiotics? Yogurt is a probiotic. It has proven related health benefits. You're FUDding. Are you invested in Big Pharma? Or are you just being a dick?

Please don't post legal advice without appropriate qualifications. The above isn't the whole story in many jurisdictions, as there are other factors such as exclusive licensing to consider.

Dang it, I was wrong, I got tricked in the graph I linked to, which is measuring GDP in gold ounces (an utterly useless measurement for this purpose). Here's a better graph. I didn't realize the economy was growing so quickly at the end of the Ford administration.

I'm not sure where you are getting your numbers, it looks like the gdp dropped under Carter, and rose under Reagan. Maybe you forgot to adjust for inflation? You could probably give some credit to Carter because Reagen followed some of his economic policies (like keeping Volcker around), but strictly looking at the numbers, growth was higher during Reagan's presidency.

You perhaps didn't intend to, but your post explicitly said their purpose was to kill brown people.

That is fascinating, what kind of questions did they give you? That sucks as an interview process.

There's nothing wrong with hearing the news later, but people with mobile devices will hear it earlier and clearly a lot of people value that ability to stay up to date and use their time for something interesting when they're just in a coffee shop for a few minutes or on the train home. If you don't value that, then of course you personally don't need those devices.

Hey, on the positive side...

At least they won't have to do time in a mexican prison!!

Good, we need more hispanic superheroes.

What about Speedy Gonzales?

Wetbackman!!

Able to cross the Rio Grande in a single stroke!!

Wow, you need to get over it. An experience like that can either drag you down, or you can overcome it and become stronger.

If you're still wishing death on those people years later, you need to do something.

Potato...potAH-to.....

To the broader public...they're synonyms.

It's also a strawman. People don't design missile systems to kill people just because they are brown; that's not why the Iraq war happened. Either one of them.

I don't mean that you would get fired for it, I mean that there's a fair chance your boss will be embarrassed that his or her superior got the message. Then your boss may not do anything openly bad to you, but take every little opportunity to make your life at the company unpleasant. You might get poorer performance reviews than your work deserves, or find your requests for equipment denied without explanation and then later be blamed for productivity problems you have due to lack of that equipment, or get stuck with all of the least interesting jobs, etc...

A resilient person, whether they're a manager or not, can accept criticism of their decisions and challenges to their decisions with an open mind and humility. They won't take the challenge to their judgement personally, and will instead try to examine the counter argument to make sure there are no factors they overlooked or weighted inappropriately. In my experience, resilient people are uncommon and resilient managers are especially rare (probably because being a manager adds stress). If you find yourself opposed to your manager on something with ethical implications or serious business implications, and you meet the manager in private to express your concerns and are still ignored, my suggestion is to leave.
