That is what all Americans companies do. They literally just view the fines as a type of tax or they find ways to bypass the law entirely. This is one of the reasons they are able to dominate.

And if a European company doesn’t do this, an American company will.

We should stick to Spotify simply because it is European.

It’s better for a European company to bribe an American than for an American company to bribe a European. No?

What ghoulish practices do they have?

And they have donated to democrats too.

Edit: and that was at his in inauguration too. They are just trying to massage him a bit for some favors. That would actually be good for European businesses.

The donation aims to continue to expand our presence in Washington, D.C., while furthering the goals of our platform and our creators

I REALLY dislike this kind of attitude. Spotify is probably one of the biggest tech companies that most Americans rely on for a daily basis so we can't just give up on it. If you give up on a company for (in this case, relatively/very minor) reliance on certain practices, you won't have any companies to rely on as an alternative at all.

The new Tron: Ares got me thinking just how common Hollywood sex offender blockbuster stars are, compared to women in leading roles. Then I realized the same is true for directors, producers and whatnot. Then I realized that's probably true as well for all official or otherwise roles of responsibility in companies, churches, any sort of union and everything else.

It's insane our society looks like that.

Nogen der kan udpege præcist, hvor der er offentligt tilgængelige cykelpumper i København? Specielt indre by?

Tror det er et gennemgående problem at alle ved de er der, men ingen ved, HVOR de er.

Findes der en app eller kort?

 

After officer Bower notes his pandorum symptoms, officer Payton describes the Eden mission disaster, where an officer went insane, thought the flight was doomed and launched everyone onboard to their deaths.

Officer Bower notes that they luckily didn't wake up in a coffin.

Payton responds, "who says we didn't"

 
 

Two links for explanation.

During the 19th century, the United States Government tried to exterminate the bison in order to put the native prairie Indians, who relied massively on the bison, under control. This process was also helped by private farmers who to tried to maximize the amount of fields available for agriculture by killing too many bison.

The bison, however, were also an important ecological factor in keeping the prairies diverse in plants and animals life, and without them, the top layer soil eroded causing the great dust bowl of the 1930s.

I've annoyed Mexicans with this fact last year. Going for a Canadian soon.
