Do you think this has never happened before, in America or other countries? In Germany, after WW2 there were former Nazis allowed back into the government.

> stereotype that viking society was mainly concerned with battle.

Viking society was preoccupied with plunder, not battle. If I remember correctly, farms were given to the eldest son, so as not to split them up. Lots of small farms can't feed enough people.

If you're not an eldest son, you need money to buy land. Norway in particular does not have a lot of settled arable land. So you join a group heading south to plunder.

Battle is not necessary, especially when you reach countries full of unarmed farmers. Vikings sailed up the river to Paris and essentially demanded a ton of gold and silver. If you're a fat farmer it was just better to pay them to leave. They were usually pretty good at leaving so it worked out for everyone.

Do you want to fight Sven who literally rowed across the ocean to cleave in your skull, or just pay him some money? Also Sven is 6ft tall and ripped, you are 5ft 5 and armed with a pitchfork.

First of all, no it doesn't. Lawyers don't testify in court cases, so their opinions mean nothing from a legal perspective. Secondly, that means MSG would want them to attend so they could film it. Not keep them out. Are you saying MSG has their opponents best interests at heart?

> They broke it. Maybe unknowingly, but that’s on them.

They did it unknowingly because these are the first times it's happened. This is not common, and possibly illegal. In the complaint about Radio City, the liquor license requires them to be open to anyone who isn't a security threat. Representing an opponent in court isn't a security threat.

Don't make the top law firms mad at you. Supposedly Mark Twain said:

“Never argue with anyone who buys the ink by the barrel.”

This guy is a complete fraud. He's only on Netflix because... his son is the head of the Documentary department.

It's farther away from Earth, but is not on the far side of the moon:

Do you know what the normal amount of quits and retirements in a year is? This chart only has "quits", which makes it seem much larger.

It's 2000 total usually. So this year is looking like it'll be 3000-4000 with the extra quits. 11% turnover instead of 6%. That's nothing.

Anyone who thinks these are the "best and brightest" leaving is stupid. Anyone who leaves before their pension without a good reason is also stupid. Good riddance to the bottom 11%.

This is true. It wouldn't require "high taxes" to pay for better addiction treatment. Our taxes are already paying for overdose treatment or crime that comes from drug addiction.

The treatment solves the problem earlier and cheaper. Maybe that's the key. Don't focus on the "raising taxes". Focus on "cutting healthcare costs". Cut our healthcare costs with universal healthcare!
