The most recent accounts I've seen were in Cold Case Hammarskjöld (documentary). They found a few defectors/whistleblowers that had visited and worked at SAIMR's (South African Ins…

How does cash flow not change when you have to scrap the whole lot of 737Max orders?

The rush to get these planes back in the air being stalled has allowed us to discover other safety issues. Seems management continued to be irresponsible even after calamity struck…

Chrome is glorified spyware, simple truth. When $GOOG gets squeezed, they always find new ways to use your data for commercial purposes.

News update, ISIS soldiers getting freed and guess where they are heading... what a surprise. American population has never been accused of being too smart.

Yes, the US was funding the movements to overthrow Assad. "helping Isis fighters relocate" and "throwing bags of cash" sounds pretty similar to me, if the cash leads them to China'…

China will consider it a favor if you block your own "offensive" company from the Chinese market.
