So $30,000 in 1962 was probably very generous, but these business owners held the WTC project ransom by demanding unreasonable payouts.
The wikipedia article mentioned that it went to court.
Before the Chinese traded electronics in Shenzhen, they traded it in Hong Kong. Yes, as Hong Kong transformed into a financial center, it got rid of the electronics traders.
But the price war was inevitable. And the telecoms bubble was highly likely in any case.
Telecoms investment was a response to crazy valuations of dot-com stocks.
2. Trump knows the military will not participate in a coup.
3. Trump will not run for a third term. If he does, he will loose because Americans knows it's unconstitutional.
So Americans know that all the dirty laundry will come out when the next president takes office.
(I'm not saying it happens. I just theorise how the policy could have been envisaged)
Sometimes your employer goes out of business. Employees do not always preserve their payslips.
Then there are countries like Georgia, it's culturally acceptable to buy real estate with cash. If no valuation of the property was made, it becomes very difficult to prove where the money came from.
I guess I come from a different era:
KeeLoq is also used for garage door openers.
Some KeeLoq receivers have a "learning mode" where it adds the next KeeLoq transmitter it hears provided it uses the same manufacturer key.
Learn mode is activated either with a button often on the PCB or with a "master" transmitter.
Which is not enough to even pay the interest on one $3m chip.
What am I missing here ?
Edit: While I said "duty" I meant that I really hope the that the police investigate all allegations of hate crime assault properly.

For example, if a distiller buys a tank, income tax is immediately paid. But VAT only generates revenue many years later for the country when the beverage leaves the store. So it's really a consumption tax.
Anglo schools and universities thrived.
Englishmen could vote etc.
Also likely that seti@home was killed due to bandwith cost making it uneconomical[1]. After all they were looking for aliens in the data.
This "gridbach" project is much closer to GIMPS.
[1]: even if seti@home got their server bandwidth for free, they also need to factor in the bandwidth cost of their "home" participants.
US corporate tax rates are actually every high. Partly due to the US having almost no consumption tax. EU members have VAT etc.
So corporations are involved in the sense that they pay people more than a living wage.
Taxes are the best way to change behaviour (smaller cars driving less. Less flying etc). So government and the people who vote for them is to blame.
We know that Trump is not captured by corporations because his trade policies are terrible.
If anything, social media is the evil that's destroying the political center: Americans are no longer reading mainstream newspapers or watching mainstream TV news.
The EU is saying the elections in Romania was manipulated through manipulation of TikTok accounts and media.
Calling someone a Nazi is saying he's a mass murderer. Don't cry wolf!
Trump is still very very far away from that.
Assuming this man is innocent, we should rather blame El Salvador for actually imprisoning him.
