Complaints filed against thugs

dimanche 20 décembre 2015 à 01:00

The Los Angeles Thug Department investigated over 1300 claims of bias in 2012-2014, and judged not one of them valid.

Either LA thugs are remarkably free of bias, far beyond what humans would be capable of, or they are protecting each other.

A study of complaints filed against Chicago thugs found that 10% of the thugs got 30% of the complaints.

These thugs can influence the behavior of other thugs, so it is important to get rid of them.

Most thugs don't beat up or kill without justification, but nearly all of them will protect other thugs that do so. That's why they generally deserve the name of "thug". Those few who refuse to protect the violent thugs re the ones who merit the title of "police officer".

Martin Shkreli resigns after arrest

dimanche 20 décembre 2015 à 01:00

Martin Shkreli, whose company Turing Pharmaceuticals raised the price of Dataprim and blocked companies from making generic drugs, has resigned after being arrested on charges of fraud in his previous company.

I wonder whether the new management will reduce the price. But either way his practices of blocking other companies from making generic equivalents should be made illegal.

Foreign policy "advice" from a company

A company gives foreign policy "advice" to candidates such as Clinton, Rubio and Cruz, led and funded by companies in the military-industrial complex.

The company says this is not lobbying, but that's what it adds up to.

It looks like Sanders is not interested in their "advice".

Loss of Monkeys And Birds in Tropical Forests Driving Up Carbon Emissions.

The problem is that hardwood trees need those animals to disperse their seeds.
