[quote]Full faith and credit of the US government doesn’t mean what it used to.[/quote] This is all relative to the international monetary situation of any competitor currency on the global market. I don't think we're doing so bad there, and are likely much strong now than pre-Covid. ...

[quote]The NYC DA may have found semi workaround.[/quote] Not really. That SOL for felonies is the same today as it was the day before the alleged scheme/crimes occurred. Nothing has changed. Now, the civil SOL being changed for the EJC suits would be applicable, but that wasn't a criminal case...

[quote]I always assumed this is very intentional location scouting. [/quote] It has to be, but I just don't know what it was saying. I don't think I can recreate the late-90s zeitgeist of Japan :lol: [quote] I like in Pulse how Kurosawa also makes incredibly dense Tokyo feel almost empty.[/quote...

[quote]Cohen took out a a home equity loan on his house to make the payment? Why would you do this?[/quote] He wasn't liquid and it covered him too. [quote]Would you bill your client this way?[/quote] No. I'm ethical and don't promote fraud. If a client came to me wanting some sort of cove...
It was real frustrating in the early 10s when the world game changed to benefit Barca/Spain. Those Real teams were so fricking loaded. And I know my comments about Barca shouldn't be controversial on a board with lots of Chelsea, Arsenal, etc. fans who faced that refereeing, too :lol: [img...
