BRICS? Lol.

It’d be BRICSUK then. Kinda close to Brexit. Just paint it as the next step after Brexit.

Took the cat too long as well. I would have thought after 1 paw the cat would have learned.

Shit. We just had an airshow here and I was about to look for my ticket for self exit. Thanks for the heads up.

For current news, those were hard questions. I think just not accepting what the candidate says as facts and following up with detailed questions equals “hard questions” now.

Look how the news is treating Trumps mental decline compared to when his opponent was Biden.

The CEO of a company having a fiduciary obligation to the board and a lawyer to defend their client the best they can aren’t “actual laws” where a cop will arrest you. They are rules for the job and if you are not following these rules then you will be fired/lose your license to practice law.

That’s probably why there is no law that people point out to you. It’s a job requirement.

Well it’s not southern Russia’s northern China’s fault that some mad man in Moscow used a nuke. China will just be generous and help lead the clean up in wonderful north north China.

I think it’s more like, the ship wreck will be recovered by someone. It is up to them to label these people as “illegal looters/pirates” or legitimate recovery which they will do business with.

If they go the “it’s illegal” route then they won’t see the loot for some time, while it gets sold on the black market.

Hah, you got me. The CIA infiltrated Lemmy.

We talk politics and current events sometimes. People also like coming by the office to let off steam about work. The time I brought it up was after that Mormon family got shot up by the cartels. I think the victims were in 2 different vehicles and the cartels stopped them and killed everyone.

We have interesting conversations.

I tell people at work, the way to fix the cartel problem is to legitimize cartels. You have to appeal to the fact that people want to leave things better for future generations. Change their AOR as a business to something else. They already diversified to some legal fields. The cartels already have the logistics, communication, and infrastructure.

An organization this big doesn’t disappear just because you captured the top guy. Someone will take over. That someone will usually be deadly so that they can cement their leadership.

If you convince the top guy to restructure his organization then after a few generations maybe they can have a ‘me too’ movement. No one likes my idea though, so I don’t know if that means it’s a good negotiation deal or a bad one. 😂
