tl:dr, cheapskate who didn't do the testing because it was expensive. Ignored repeated warnings including from his own suppliers.

Stockton Rush was a former engineer that got an MBA and went to work for McDonnell Douglas. By all accounts, this is what people from MDD (AKA New Boeing) do, so par for the course I guess.

Arstechnica took down the article

Here's the original Wired article

Despite the political difficulties, Mexico became the world’s second largest producer of oil in the 1920s. Nevertheless, the foreign-owned oil companies were the object of much popular resentment. Since Mexico was an agrarian nation with only a tiny domestic market, these companies exported most of the oil they produced during the 1920s and very little of their profits remained Mexico. The situation was exacerbated during the 1930s, when the Mexican Government’s share of oil revenues declined and domestic oil production dropped due to the Great Depression and a glut in the global oil supply. These developments, combined with the fact that the large oil companies often paid their Mexican workers only half as much as other employees working in the same capacity, ultimately led to massive labor unrest.

Diarrhea writing. You cited a BRICS invite as evidence of Saudi Arabia's soft power. Well, that would have to apply to every country that was invited if it made any sense, which it does not.

Money = hard power

You need the actual reserves and technology to produce oil. Short of that, you need the the business acumen to get yourself invested in. All of these are hard power that Mexico does not have.

i am pointing out Saudi Unique status of neither accepting nor declining an official invite and still attending it.

Mexico had much higher education than people residing in desert who does not even a have a proper city. you still consistently ignoring the over helming evidence of Soft Power.

That requires just a simple ask, "Hey you invited me but I'm not sure yet. Can I check it out first?" What low standards you have for "soft power."

Mexico had much higher education than people residing in desert who does not even a have a proper city.

And they have much less oil reserves, hence oil is the hard power.

you still consistently ignoring the over helming evidence of Soft Power.

So is everyone else on this forum making fun of you. You're the only crazy person seeing ghosts everywhere; we ignore them because there is nothing.

I see. So apparently the 4 American victims had provoked a fight with a Taiichi practitioner. For using a supposedly "safe" Taiichi sword, that one Chinese guy was able to cause quite alot of damage. Looking at the two Americans on the ground, they were bleeding badly, like they have been stabbed by a proper blade. The American victims were not necessarily innocent, but there were also women among them. So, I dunno, this story looks quite bizarre.

they already attended Ministerial meeting in South Africa. so whats the point of keep checking it?

Mexico oil industry went down hill due incompetence and so does many other things. Mexico should have much higher standard of living and much less internal violence. Gulf Emirates wealth is not just Oil but that Trust and many other things.

People have there own biases as they read things without research and not have any interest in history. This Zelensky is a Jew and thats the reason he gets audience at last minute.

The victim's story is one person in their group accidentally bumped into the stabber which set him off. Kinda unlikely mid-age/old professors are out trying to pick fights with some other seniors.

What's the point of going on more than 1 date before marrying a lady??? What's the point of rejecting them if they want some more experience?

Incompetence = lack of hard power

Right, that's you.

There's a lot to unpack in this article debunking the so-called "Oxford study":

Funny because I was just watching Morning Joe on MSNBC and they spent a lot of time talking about the dating culture in the US like it was an emergency situation and how it's gotten so bad for both men and women and basically blaming it on the internet social media culture. They had Scott Galloway on the show who is a NY University professor who I know as and seems to have national notoriety because of the right-wing/Proud Boy/incel eruption in the US. He's basically the intellectual version of them criticizing society over emasculating men that has resulted according to them the rise in suicides by straight white men that has literally lowered life expectancy overall for men in the US. Straight white men are claiming they're an endangered species... They want sympathy. Frankly I could care less.

White men are whining how their masculinity has been taken away...? They've always been doing that to non-white men from the beginning. They like to portray non-white men as more likely to rape women and have a tendency for committing domestic violence unsuitable for all women of the world. For Asian men they don't even want them to be seen as men. If Asian men were doing to them what they do to Asian men, white men would be exploding with hate and violence. Hard to sympathize with hypocrites.
