I think it will be more like US/UK relationship. China had a good chance to be like US if they would have been politically liberal, though I don't think they would have been so well off economically since political instability is

Thanks! Just out of curiosity, do the gulf carriers keep PIA in high regard and have a friendly relationship or they are continuously trying to bring it down? The whole "we have grounded people with fake license" sounds like someo

Does anyone have a good reference to competition vs compliance in the airline industry? US has a very competitive airline industry, and hence the incentives for regulations seems to be quite high. On one hand, since Pakistan has a small fle

Well, that means UK does have a pretty amazing leverage to keep jobs in the country. I am one of the least politically aware person, but I have come to a conclusion that Brexit isn't going to be as good as it is being claimed by people

I don't even have any counter arguments to make, you can speculate as much as you want, the home prices were suppose to drop drastically and I was waiting for it. They went up after the withdrawal agreement was signed :-/ I was un

Yeah, not just ROI, even within Unilever, no more unicorn colored toothpaste for kids or Daniel Craig co-branded deodrant for getting laid quickly, since the movie has been postponed. Recession brings a lot of conservatism in the big corpor

Probably because the recession side effects are real, and advertisements are costly.

Don't worry much about Brexit, I was quite worried about it myself and I lost the chance to buy a house at a cheaper price. Brexit is turning out to be quite positive for the UK, and the media claims that the companies will move out is

- A morning stroll through Hyde Park, by far the best health activity ever, especially in summer. - Paddle boarding in Camden, one of my favorite summer activity while social distancing! - Borough Market for food!

Mate, good luck explaining that to your UK customers. This is beyond acceptable for any group of people.

Any reason why you have to publicly disclose why you are pulling out of a deal? Sure, you did something you believe in is right, but then going to press and telling them about your bravery sounds like a PR move.

I am sorry if I come across any condescending, but that is how most of the current masters programs are operated. Generally, masters are considered cash cow programs that funds other research and also brings a lot of commerce to the college

Isn't it a solved problem? US universities attract best students from all over the world, from practically every society/country/culture. It's way more diverse, selective, and productive to let universities to decide who

After leaving SF in 2018, I have worked from Oxford/London/Mexico City/Istanbul. I would totally avoid Istanbul, I have been harassed by police officers way too many times in attempt to get bribes. If I were to work with an A

Bankruptcies, Bankruptcies, Bankruptcies. All these contracts go underwater once the companies file chapter-11. Gold Gym has already started, most retailers are following the suit. That said, Microsoft (my previous employer) is well diversi

Yes, I do think Amazon is held to pretty high standards. I have seen more outrage for people who won't work at Amazon complain about the work conditions at Amazon than the actual employees themselves. If your defense is that they might

It's very condescending to say "I am doing this because I am pro-labor", as if, we the other users of Amazon are not pro-labor and don't care about their labour practices, and assumes that we can't read and comprehe
