Pretty funny how few of these are American actors, the good guys, make it to the end alive.

At least it's not an acronym... Because he doesn't seem to know how they work.

Cannot tell if this person understands all the words and God is like Lufthansa in this metaphor. Or if he thinks 'jesus is our steward' just means like...air steward. Better than him being in a hi Vis vest separating football fans I guess.

Yea should've said 'and there's a conspiracy about that crash. But from the worst people'.

Dudayev, Lumumba. Al-rahawi, Amin ( the Afghan one), and there was the Smolensk air crash.

I briefly lived in one of those regions and there was a war on the other side of it and the running joke among my military family was that if they went too close to the border they would be given away in a peace treaty between Russia and Russia.

I find something particularly galling about the format and particularly the signature. It's an unhinged rant on a marketing poster with love-letter signature at the bottom.

What language do they campaign in in Wales?

I thought his thing was multiculturalism doesn't work?

He seems to get the core concepts of what journalism hilariously wrong in like three different ways, all in one tweet.

(it went a bit tighter on zero flows except a European bank thing once a month for five years and that London whale thing. It was a cushy job TBF)

I am so glad my markets reporting days were covering CDS in the QE years. Absolutely fuck trying to do commentary on markets these days.

'lets' - previous Kissinger's could transfer lip movements over satellite signals, but did not allow it. Finally we're allowed to kiss the phone.

Pretty sure almost no factories have thousands of employees these days.

Fourthly, is he saying he won't accept the results if he loses? Will he never give in canvassing after the election?

Firstly, there isn't a door there, it's a bush. Secondly he's knocking on doors and then fighting?? Thirdly, how many thumbs up do you need? It's a tweet of a picture of a flyer all with a thumbs up.

Okay, not the main thing but I do find it funny that 'bring the fight to them' is immediately followed by the dad's army graphic, which is so literally about the opposite of that it's painful.

25% of them aren't even getting a proper 6 yard box.

To add another possible probably minor factor: productivity improvements in a lot of these countries has increased by reducing working hours. In many jobs you can probably compensate for skill with time, denying that intensifies the premium for skill/training.

Well, yea, but I'm assuming trump thinks it'll work for him and there'll be regime change. But TBF it will probably make the regime poorer and less able to help Russia anymore.

(TBF that's probably over thinking and it's probably just cos netanyahu asked nice)

It would probably get Russia out of paying Iran back for all the killing drones too.
It would isolate Russia more though, but that probably just makes it easier for trump to force some personal deals out of Putin too.

My other big beef is that it's like 75% just straightforwardly explaining the rules of the film, which they then seem to break.
Also pretty sure tom Hardy's character is there just to make the numbers work. They literally don't explain his presence.

And TBF to those posters, it's more language than math. Also a little conceptual. Because if you think 49% of people not having savings is much too high, then 'most' to mean 51% is not a particularly useful conversion. Whereas if it was, say, a vote I don't think they'd argue that.

Can't remember which behavioural finance book it is that has a quote about humans being fundamentally bad at conceptualising risks, and even those versed in it professionally will revert to 'wont happen, could happen 50-50, nailed on' where could happen is like 'i could win the lottery'

Really need her to somehow dress in three paintings so we can have 'Romeo Romeo wear four art though'.
Can also have radio call signs if she does anything good or dances.

True, but you don't have to go back much further and having a sibling in jail is basically a prerequisite of the throne.

Well. The one that got me onto this was moving to London and living near a 'nairobi internet cafe' and thinking London internet must be faster. Then there was a Belgrade and a Dubai restaurant in Paris that served french food. Greece has several things named after other greek sites in Athens.

Also the first two scenes go 'you tried to break into my dream, but I have dream security. I need you to break into someone's dream because we can't just kidnap them because they have security...to get into their dream we basically kidnap them...oh no they have dream security.'
