He really was right when he said that he could shoot someone in broad daylight in the middle of new york and get away with it. If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, did it still make a sound? If the president shot a person in broad daylight in the middle of new york and literally everyone saw it but there was no impeachment, was it still illegal? In the context of your argument, it was not. Impeachment is an inherently political process. It makes no discrimination on whether something is legal or illegal but it can be included as a cause. That is the Supreme Court's job in this context. Source: https://www.archives.gov/found...

I challenge anyone to propose a plan for how they would win the conflict in an urban area more ethically than how Israel has done it. They still do not occupy the entirety of the strip and do not have all the hostages back. Being somewhat knowledgeable about warfare myself, I do not know how any military anywhere could do it more ethically than they have so far. People simply do not understand urban warfare. It was the same when Iraq took Mosul in 2017 with the benefit there being places for civilians to go. Egypt wants nothing to do with the Gazans. The Doha attack might have been a bit too far but that's a question of sovereignty over war crimes.

They also need to wear uniforms to be considered completely safe for the protections under the Geneva Conventions. That's not to say that ununiformed personnel have no rights but they are significantly less; and they are endangering civilians by pretending to be them. (Why it is a war crime in the first place)

I actually use SAFe Agile in my team to help estimate actual times and get buy in. It's interesting watching Soldiers get asked what they think they should do for a change to accomplish the mission. The key factor in if it is appropriate is the types of projects. This definitely wouldn't work for infantry.

All of this can be solved by pricing changes. Why do all the choices have to cost the same? Why not pay $15 for ESPN but only $1 for the Travel Channel. Then the quality of content is directly linked to the revenue of the channel all the way up the supply chain. This may lead to less channels but only as a result of a more competitive market.

He and mozilla made a business decision. It didn't matter what his feelings were on the topic; all that mattered was what it would do to the organization and its mission. While I will defend to the death anyone's right to say what they want regardless of if I agree with them I definitely do not blame Eich for it. I blame OkCupid and others instead.

None of it was simply given to banks; it was all loaned to them. The banks had to pay that back. People love to mention the fact that the banks received trillions of dollars. The fail to mention that those banks also paid trillions back. Those same people also failed to mention that this happens on a smaller scale every second of every day between the banks and the federal reserve.

...and that computer that the business bought was produced by another business which hired workers to produce from parts which were produced by another business that hired workers to produce and those workers ended up buying the product that the original business was producing. It isn't a food chain, it is a food web. Yes, consumers and customers are important but to completely ignore the rest of the web because it doesn't gell with your political opinion is like driving with blinders. Economics is complex. Don't try to make it simple.
