>In Mexico, Mr. Shen was implementing an audacious plan, according to people familiar with the matter: A network of trading companies could route hundreds of thousands of tons of aluminum from China to Mexico, where a plant would melt it for shipment to the U.S., evading trade restrictions and claiming North American Free Trade Agreement benefits.
I do.
Qui bono?
The same kids who were in Physics, were in Calc, etc. There were only about 20-30 of us. The majority of the student body was there to study Nursing and Law Enforcement.
I found I enjoyed the professors at CC more than most of my state uni professors. At CC, instead of having Physics in a 300 person lecture hall, it was a 20 person classroom. Same with Calc. All of the STEM-related professors at CC had their doctorates, where at state uni I had a bunch of grad students teaching - not that everyone wasn't knowledgeable enough.
Seems to me that the billion dollar media conglomerates could have funded Gawker's lawyers to protect their ability to release people's sex tapes.
Any time there is a budget deficit, there is borrowing. The borrowing is done against future earnings by future taxpayers. Now it seems to me that if money is borrowed and not paid entirely back within a generation, then those who borrowed have essentially stolen wealth from their children and grandchildren.
His company raised the price of a drug to an absurd level and overnight he became "the most hated man in America".
Her company endangered, and likely caused real harm to, numerous patients' health and she gets to keep on selling and is even given a platform by the AACC to due so.

Seems like everything is working appropriately.
Am I out of touch expecting the author call a real-life business owner who is involved in the pokemon thing?
The cynic in me says this article is just some marketing ploy and does not belong here.
I wonder what the answers were to "Why did we conceal our deadly (not for Toyota, but for their customers) mistakes?" and "Why did we actively deceive our customers regarding the safety of our vehicles?"
What that doesn't explain is why no American clients were listed in this "leak".
I'm relatively certain these people will not be required to submit a doctor's written diagnosis of whatever causes their total and permanent disability.
It will probably be more like the gov sends a form to a list of people (aggregated somehow), and if they fill it out and return it, then they get to legally avoid their loan obligations.
It is perhaps understandable in a communist dictatorship, but how exactly is that understandable in a representative democracy? They act as representatives of their constituents, they do not work for anyone except their constituents. And 'work' is imprecise verbiage - they serve. Undermining the constitutional freedoms of the people they serve is far from an understandable position for any elected person.
Maybe you understand it because you accept sociopaths as your representatives?
Popehat has touched on this subject (how the media doesn't understand federal sentencing) from time to time.
