It actually changed around the turn of the century with the events of the Spanish war. That’s when the US became an imperial power, there were many against it though

Is there an expectation to tip or is it included?

That link does not work for me

>> "we're gonna turn it back on in four weeks"

We'll improve our site for 28 days, but the other 47 months of the year we will, uh...

> but people are willing to pay almost anything not to die.

No, not really. This is a narrow picture of reality. People are often willing to sabotage their own bodies and drive their bodies toward obesity, clogged arteries, and liver disease while not spending the money to go to a doctor for annual checkups or flu shots.

The dollar menu is cheaper & tastier option than buying a salad and people consistently choose the cheaper, tastier option

How long can you use COBRA for after leaving an employer? I tried to find that answer, but the info was conflicting on the Internet. Is it 18 months?

>> This journalist has absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

>> I'm not a fan of all this necessarily, but the fact checking in this article is mind-blowing.

I'm starting to suspect that half of articles today are purposeful misinformation that fits a narrative, while the other half is lazy reporting and might even rely on the misinformation as a source, just perpetuating it.

I've never read NYbooks.com before, but is a book reviewer really going to give me accurate insight into legal interpretation? Nope...

>> Off topic, it's incredible what a flat tone Mark Papermaster managed to use when saying "I couldn't be more excited to present...".

I think you're right

>> The "underperforming" segment may now perform better now that it's free to use AWS/Azure/Google cloud tools instead of just IBM's...

The contrary point of view is that this means that either:

1. crapIBM will need to pay betterIBM for access to continue using the ERP, QRadar, Remedy, licenses, etc tools they use today. This is better for betterIBM and worse for crapIBM

2. crapIBM will need to stop using betterIBM's tools, and have to quickly negotiate new licenses/tools and spend 6+ months of their first fiscal year just moving platforms (moving SAP has often been a 2 year failed IT challenge, good luck). This will make crapIBM continue to look worse, making betterIBM's leadership look good for divesting themselves of it.

In Summary: We've routinely chipped away at our own value, rather than innovating and improving our products.
