Why does my phone think I could mean “shoot” when I try to write “adopt?” Smart technology will be the end of me.

Shit like this makes me wish Bibi didn’t call everything “blood libel.” We need that term to describe both history & current resurfacing of an ancient calumny.

I imagine 99-cent prices will remain, particularly online. If you’re not paying cash, it won’t make a difference; if you are, I guess they’ll round up at the register if allowed or down to 95 of consumer statutes prohibit it.

Every once in a while, a panelist at an international arbitration conference will mention that arbitrators & institutions have to be on the lookout for collusive proceedings as money laundering or sanctions evading tools.

“Did the lawyer sleep with the client” is a pretty clear yes/no, as is “Did the lawyer commingle client $ with their own.”

“Was this lawsuit filed collusively” & “Was this a reasonable settlement of a genuine dispute” is harder to investigate & will be fought to the bitter end.
