Thinking and feeling have a well known liberal bias.Isn't that why they are judges..

because of their wisdom implementing the law? So i take it there is a death lobby out there that thinks opioid deaths are a good thing?

Bet the Saudis regret alienating the publics of Western nations about

now. Crown Prince is not popular abroad. Iran has drones. There is no leader of the free world to stop the war in Yemen or ensure iran is in the family of nations. World oil supply cut by 6% today as drones hit 1/2 of saudi supply. But I wonder if big oil is happy?

Pompeo Blames Iran for Attack on Saudi Oil Supply

"SNIP.....

“Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for drone attacks on two key oil installations deep inside Saudi Arabia on Saturday, facilities that process the vast majority of the country’s output and raising the risk of a disruption in world oil supplies,” the New York Times reports.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blamed Iran, which backs the Houthis, calling it “an unprecedented attack on the world’s energy supply” and asserting, “There is no evidence the attacks came from Yemen.”

“It was the single most audacious attack on Saudi Arabia that the Houthis have claimed since the kingdom intervened in Yemen’s war more than four years ago, devastating the impoverished country and creating the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.”

If you read the economists they have stories of ceos realizing they can't just

listen to stockholders anymore but must listen to stakeholders like suppliers, customers, etc. No mention of unions at the table. No mention of a seat at the table for anyone. They do that in Germany where all sorts of stakeholders sit at the table. And the stockholder thing is bogus. People buy stocks that are growing. Blaming them for predatory practices across the business world is keeping responsibility away from ceos and movement conservative think tanks and the way they changed business school. The stockholders are not that powerful.Turning corporations into sociopaths was not what a majority of stockholders cried out for. That was a movement conservatism, dark money ceo thing. A small minority of the country did that.
