Except for that one billionaire's son who was likely coerced into going with Dad and didn't fully understand the risks ... :( but otherwise, - yup -

Good for them. Strikes are supposed to be inconvenient, otherwise they're meaningless.

:( Please tell me they aren't all headed for the dump :(

It's hard to find homes for old pianos since so many people live in smaller spaces now, and yes, they're so big and heavy. But the beautiful workmanship on old ones... seems a shame.

True, forgot about them. Want a nice hot cup of tea? :p

China and Turkey pioneered harassing their own and other citizens on foreign soil; now India is normalizing it further. These tactics need to get slapped down and HARD otherwise it'll just start happening everywhere. FFS western nations, kick out their diplomats and charge these foreign agents with terrorism or something!

Hmm, hard to argue with that :P

Vote only for candidates who promise to fight for maximum age limits for all Congressional, executive and judicial positions. End the gerontocracy.

Can't someone at this point charge him with Barratry -- abuse of the legal system? Bar his fat arse from filing any more suits for at least his term of office this time around.

Ah, who am I kidding, the US legal system has no teeth (for some), it's all reliant on 'customs' and 'norms' at its base, as we have seen recently.

How does one address the paradox that, as JSON itself is evil, one cannot use it for evil?

(opinions may vary on the above; but it's mine, so nyah nyah.)

Seriously, check out the entire "Fragile" album, and "Classic Yes" which has this and some others like "Starship Trooper", and "Yours is No Disgrace".

Now retired huh?

I can think of a good penalty... a number of years in prison equal to the years since they committed this crime. "Disgorgement" is a common legal mechanism, forcing convicted to give up their ill-gotten gains. In this case, time as free persons.

Quick, someone tell his lawyer to help him run for office! ... Somewhere.

Apparently that stops the clock entirely on these things, right??
