Tax evasion office for 'Politically Exposed People'
New revelations that UBS maintained a PEP office - for 'Politically Exposed People,' to coordinate their tax evasion activities. Meanwhile the only person who went to jail was the whistleblower who revealed the criminal activity, and thus assisted in recovering billions in back taxes.

Microsoft “Employs Child Slaves to Make Xboxes”
So, what else is new? Minimising losses and maximising profits...that is the norm for the supplier and retailer. It's a pity the leaders are so screwed up to even think about working rights. 15 hours per day, making them pay for their own food and letting them bunk in crap conditions is inhuman. But I suppose that explains the RRODs.

If everyone is learning the same thing and is able to do well in it, hiring for top end jobs would become a first-come-first-serve or "coffee money" basis. As the job pyramid is filled up, the lower achieving students would be outside of it. On the other note : Hikikomori Baby Butcher Stabs Family of 5 over Net Access TL Courtesy of Sankaku Quote:

I'd be surprised if they didn't. Though thinking about things like the gulf of Tonkin incident or the sinking of the Maine, it's possible the North did have nothing to do with it. I'd be surprised if it were the case, but it's possible.

The factories increase their by increasing the number of contracts they have with in-sourcing companies rather than the quality of the products they supply. Then it moves to the idea of market competition where lowering the bids can get them the factory owners' contracts. Since the in-sourcing company only pays the money requested, it is up to the factory owners to set their own work ethics and standards. Subsequently I think the "expansion funds" from the profits actually went into lining the supervisors' pockets. Quote:
I am not sure if the ship fired warning shots, but if they did, it would be a show of restraint on the S.K side. If it didn't it is a stealthy torpedo attack.

According to reports, the ship was bent upwards when it sunk, but it was broken evenly. The latest report stated that it was an "external explosion", but it could be more than that.

And why did the DPM announce the raid? That is stupidest thing the internal security agencies can do : tell of a raid before it's over!

most of the support for the red shirt come form the lower economic class and that includes not just the farmers form the countryside but the maid working for the elite, the bellboy in the hotel and the various little stall owners. A lot of the lower level police and military come form this class. Any general order tot he troops to open fire could end having those guns being pointed back at the commanders.

Nonetheless, the "Goldman Sacks" ad-lib was brilliant. That other day, I was talking to a newly acquainted ex-banker I met (he got laid off last December), and he proposed new names for the investments and nuts at Wall Street : 1. Minibuang (buang in Singlish, means to become worthless) 2. Goldman Sucks 3. Walls Meltdown (Walls is a confectionery which makes ice-cream) 4. Sub-sai Crisis (Sai being shit in Hokkien) 5. Bull out (meaning that the bailout plan is fruitless) and among others. Can't remember all. Woes Mount for Japan's Hatoyama Quote:
