This is a fundamental fact that way too many out there refuse to grasp.

A drought in the UK is what in most other locations in the world is called slightly wet weather. That's why they have never invested in water-storage mechanisms - things like reservoirs and dams.

What matters is for its CEO to lay off as many people as he can so that the stock will go up and the Intel's executives will collect handsome bonuses.

"Cheap" being the key word here: in 2025 50 GB is a good-for-nothing pittance, and one can get 64 GB USB drives for less than $5. I have no doubt that the iSheep will go for it anyway.

Senators have to do as those who paid for their campaigns tell them to do, not as those who voted them into office want; the wishes of the latter are secondary. Americans really have the best government that money can buy.

At least Amazon have made it clear: they just let you read the books they have. Their service is more like that provided by a library, not a bookstore.

And until it becomes more expensive than somewhere else.

They are interested in companies that will make them money, whether or not they have a predictable healthy return.
