In the US, you may be ordered to pay restitutions or the bank can sue you for the loss.

If by US you mean republicans, then yea, but they say that about every big tech company.
One motive is that it's cheaper to delete the emission system vs having to replace/repair the unit. Diesels have much more sophisticated emission devices vs gasoline engines, so it's more costly.

Most people wouldn't need heroin if big pharma, doctors, and pharmacists didn't flood the country with oxycodone in the first place.

Where are you getting that women getting raped or abused is unique to only the porn industry? Is there any hard data, or is this just some bs that people assume happens in porn.
Re:MindGeek: The owner of Pornhub and RedTube on Thursday December 17, 2020 @07:18PM (#25462275)
This is such a conservative take. Instead of accepting porn as a legit job, you vilify them, so of course the entire industry is gonna be secretive.
It's not the governments problem that FB's hiring bar is so high.

decriminalization is not legalization.
I Don't get how you would launder money with real Estate. Are the Chinese flying to Canada with suitcases full of cash and customs officials just let them in without any questions.

Teamsters would say otherwise.

> I can be both pro-worker and pro-business

That's exactly what a establishment Democrat would say.

Steel is the easiest to recycle and reuse though.
To make it, construction and demolition waste including bricks, gravel, sand and plasterboard is crushed and mixed with water and a binder. The bricks are then pressed in customized molds. Tinted with recycled pigments, they can be made in any color

Is the binder cement? If so, then I believe those are called cinder blocks.

no other hobby is as oppressing as being a gamer.

Tech is a depreciating asset, if you don't have programmers adding to that asset, you will eventually no longer be a tech company.
Quite frankly, all covid-19 research should be made public especially if they received government funding.
37/2 = 18.5 tons which around the payload limit for a standard triaxle dump truck, So 2 truckloads.

The point is that you have to pay 20x for the convenience of one pill.
Only if they needed the cash, or else the corporation would be a vehicle to store wealth.
Politicians couldn't see through the illusion of free markets and capitalism.
sounds like a not for profit
Why should profit be the motive to grow food. What extactly have we been doing as a society that we still have people who stuggle to pay for basic necessities needed to live.
Why should anyone put their trust in what corporation say? They're an entity whose sole existence is to generate profit from employee labor. Not to mention Apple has a 99% approval rate for h1b apps.
