Famously these controls basically don’t work.

Even the “pre-case” legal stuff is out of control. In my Australian organisation we’ve noticed a deluge of what I can only call “privacy demands” that talk the talk… but have the j…

I’ve never even thought about this - what does the EU get as a country that it can’t get with its current structure?

I don't think it's necessary to have wants or plans in place when you point out this kind of thing. You should also be careful about taking imagined positions to the extreme ..."Do…

You can do that, once, if you want to trigger an avalanche of realignment away from the U.S. Not only would you lose the 450 million odd EU customers, but the rest of the world wil…

I don’t need it now but this was a godsend a few years ago.

The administration is trying every single angle they can to make congress-less tariffs stick. The latest is slapping a bunch of countries with 10% because they claim those countrie…

Come really, really far south (to Australia) and you’ll find we don’t require voter ID. Frankly it’s easy to dunk on the U.S. for a lot of things and it’s very short term gratifyin…
