Well, the suit that overturned his bonus was a single shareholder suit and that one was obviously successful.
I have been surprised there haven’t been more shareholder suits to be honest. They could challenge fiduciary responsibility on the basis of him robbing Peter to pay Paul by raiding Tesla for engineers, not to mention dividing his own time and effort between too many unrelated interests.
You unambitious fools. I’m going to en passant onto the board of the people playing next to me!
That’s how you expand your territory.
As someone who doesn’t believe that humans have free will, I don’t believe people should be cast as being culpable for their actions and thus morally deserving punishment or praise.
However, there exist people who do harm to their neighbors and to society, and the above doesn’t mean that they need to be given free rein to do whatever they’re driven to do. To me, the call to eliminate prisons is like the call to defund police - it’s not saying that nothing should be there, but rather what we currently have not only doesn’t solve the problem but actually makes it worse.
From my point of view, incarceration needs to serve at least one of two purposes:
Supporters say the new law aims to stop men from poisoning pregnant partners in order to induce abortion without consent.
Any time they make up this kind of excuse for passing onerous and unnecessary legislation - whether it’s abortion medication or drag shows or bathroom bills - we have to ask two questions:
If they can’t answer that, they should face having their legislation blocked as failing to establish an evidence-based argument.
This is recreating the Civ weapon progression. Start with swords, then rifles, then cannons, then ICBMs.

Bye, Felicia.
Nothing that you’re saying about INR is remotely true. They’re academics and specialists who produce long form research and in depth studies. They’re not “in charge” of anyone.
Up until the post-9/11 shuffle, the US intelligence community (IC) was led by the director of the CIA, and the IC comprised CIA, DIA, NSA, NRO, INR, defense branch agencies, and others. CIA and DoD were the ones with operational branches alongside analysts, the rest were pretty much analysis-oriented or technical (eg cryptography). Although there is some overlap, the individual agencies largely have complementary missions.
Foreign actors were already at work in the Palestinian elections. Netanyahu spoke about how his administration was supporting Hamas as the best way possible to avoid having to establish a two state solution with a stable Palestinian government in Gaza and the West Bank.
Instead of arguing why you seemingly want to lay all of this at the feet of INR, due to some hatred towards Hillary Clinton you’re trying to get out of defending your assertion by criticizing IS foreign policy as a whole. That’s not arguing in good faith, and you’d be better off just acknowledging that you didn’t read the article and have no idea what you’re talking about.
And then?
We’re gonna need a bigger board.
There were major protests, though. I participated in ACT UP, and the WTO protest n Seattle. There were anti-Gulf War protests, protests over US actions in Central and South America, and many campus-closing protests. I even took part in one, where we occupied the admin building and shut it down over tuition hike plans.
Hamas never posed an existential threat to Israel.
