"Effective" means the aggression and seizure stops, and they retreat. Letters from oligarchs aren't changing anything. They've had this effect: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/putin-orders-n

Yes, but now he's silent about what goes on in his new home, regardless how he got there. He could at least acknowledge the irony. And maybe note that now he really is in a place where human rights are minimal.

If Ukraine had kept its nukes it would have been destabilizing. It was a big concern at the fall of the Soviet union about all the "loose nukes" in the unstable, newly free former members. It was wisely deemed best to not have a

Not every employee in role X is as good as every other employee in role X. The better ones deserve higher pay, which creates an incentive for the others to up their game so that they, too, can earn more. Why try harder if it's run lik

Being asked to motivate a team to meet a deadline is to sustain a "moral injury". Give me a break. I wouldn't have been surprised if this was from a lifestyle magazine like The Atlantic; but, this is from Harvard Business Re

"We have billionaires and children who are homeless". Is there some evidence of homeless billionaires on the streets with their kids? Did you mean to say that there exist homeless kids and also there are billionaires?

This guy used a somewhat similar technique[1]. Yeah, it's wrong -- but I can't help but sympathize. And, he gets 20 points alone for the 6-pack of "Old Style" that he used to conceal the jammer. 1. https://w

Yes, many people are selectively deaf to the phrase "combined with a sensible diet" when it comes to weight loss, or other health advice. I'd venture that it's subconscious desires to keep the food intake that invoke me
