10 million people within spitting distance of America who now have a *renewed* reason for revenge. This administration is filled with geniuses.
You mean, the people who are willing to ride a piece of driftwood across the freakin' ocean because they'd rather live here than in their communist hellhole? Okay.
To continue being produced long term, games need to succeed, not just be beloved.
Time for some C.S. Lewis.
The game is to have them running about with fire extinguishers whenever there is a flood, and all crowding to that side of the boat which is already nearly gunwale under. {...} Cruel ages are put on their guard against Sentimentality, feckless and idle ones against Respectability, lecherous ones against Puritanism.
The big problem of our civilization and age right now isn't that we are going to get too harsh or guard too much against people who rip off stores.
It occurs to me that I had an advantage over kids today, in that there were different forces at play, such that I had to take tests in classrooms, so it was either learn shit or get a bad grade. I don't think of the forces that put me into classrooms as all that exceptional, but I think the young 'uns really do have one really unusual one, that I (as well as my parents' generation, now that I think of) just, somehow, skipped right over.
You see, back in my day, we did a lot less of this
Quite a few students had expressed anxiety about being in a classroom after a gunman killed two students and injured nine
.. and instead we just let the ever-pending horror of nuclear war terrify us. And the neat thing about nuclear war, is that someone is going to hatefully and gruesomely murder you no matter where you where you are, so a classroom isn't really all that different than home.
I'm wondering, what can we do to help younger people be terrified out of their minds all the time instead of just in common-sense situations like crowds? We need to help them understand that they're safe nowhere, so they're not-particularly-unsafe anywhere, so they can show the fuck up and take exams.
President Harry S. Truman proposed universal health insurance in 1945, where workers would pay a fee or tax and the government would then pay the doctor or hospital of the patient's choice
The AMA claimed this was "socialism" because the federal government controlled the money.
Um
Now, you may like socialism
This... is going to be interesting.
Especially interesting for these who don't understand and appreciate what they still (somewhat) have.
Y'all may think that you like communism, or (other peoples' exotic) eastern theocracy, but if they get the upper hand, you will find out much too late that you do not really like them at all
Charles Poon, Ford's vice president of vehicle hardware engineering, added, "Mistakenly we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and ingesting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product."
(Looks for silver lining)
From the summary, "Five people in the US were convicted and received jail terms or probation.", so sounds like some westerners are involved as well.
Possibly, though their names, citizenship status, etc. would be helpful to know that.
Then you do it.
I think we've identified the harmful bit right there.
TL;DR: US company that screws-over its suppliers and its employees also suffers employees that help suppliers screw-over other suppliers.
Er, actually it sounds like values from other, non-US cultures operating in parts of a worldwide company.
The ring allegedly extracted about $100 million in unfair advantages by bribing Amazon employees in Asia to help them sell more products and sabotage their competitors.
.... don't impose your western values on the eastern folk of this worldwide company!

One of the things that made Germany just suddenly pop off like that is they stole billions of dollars in property from the Jewish people.
Um
It's fabulous! We haven't seen anything like it in the last half an hour! -- Macy's
