It is likely that the EU is dropping bourbon taxes because US barrels are very important to wineries and distilleries in the EU.

Also, many wine regions in the USA are in liberal states, so this could be the EU trying to target their tarrifs.

A lot of investors are coming out of the woodwork, either with timid public comments or via reporters. Kramer is likely being used as a mouthpiece for these comments.

They probably thought Trump was going to given like his first term, not really doing anything except pushing tax cuts and gutting regulators. That the S&P500 is down over 12% from last month can cause major issues for some investors. Not every investor is Warren Buffett.

It may not be the doctors complaining.

While not exactly the dynamic between doctors and nurses, I've had to be a "doctor" and deal with people in a "nurse" role. The typical "nurses" enforced a hierarchy where they didn't have to make technical decisions and their work was crap as a result. I got one "nurse" who was proactive and was an asset to my team, but they got pushed out since they didn't play the game the way other "nurses" did.

The person who did the firing was surprised that I thought so highly of the "nurse" who was fired.

The problem is that right wing populists vote in all elections.

Android is open source except for Google Play Services. Other major companies attempted to gain market share in Android but couldn't because of the power of Google's monopoly.

I don't see how a consortium fixes this.

Why the fuck would they delete the content?

The studio owns the content outright, so streaming rights costs should be nothing.

TL;DR, a majority of migrants are coming from Venezuela, most of whom don't go north. Colombia is absorbing many of those immigrants the best they can as is other South American countries. Peru and Chile are starting to limit immigration, Brazil and Colombia are still relatively open and welcoming.

Depends on how big the fire is.

I feel like part of the problem is that management wants staff that can do a wide range of tasks when it ends up creating a staff that can't specialize in a small group of tasks.

I've seen plenty of times where people can operate well as a cog on a big machine, but fall apart when they have to work in roles that require a variety of skillsets. Larger engineering companies can typically create enough work for people to specialize in smaller tasks than smaller engineering companies.
