Uber has an asshole problem – Vox
A conviction that the rules don't (or shouldn't) apply to you is fine when you're battling a taxi mogul who compares your business to ISIS. But it's extremely unattractive when you start talking about compromising customer user data for the purposes of blackmail. And it's completely insane when that kind of recklessness leads you to talk to journalists about the oppo tactics you're planning to deploy against other journalists.

‘De verkeerde tax-shift: gepensioneerden betalen meer belasting, GDF Suez minder’ – België – Knack.be

Tegenstanders van een vermogenswinstbelasting zwaaien met rapporten waaruit moet blijken dat de vermogens in ons land al heel zwaar belast worden. Wie de cijfers even onder de loep neemt, snapt meteen: hier klopt niets van.

How a $47 Shrimp Treadmill Became a $3-Million Political Plaything – The Conversation – Blogs – The Chronicle of Higher Education
It is disingenuous for the Republican-controlled House Committee on Science, Space and Technology to promote the idea that scientists are wasting millions of taxpayer dollars to run shrimp on treadmills based on a 30-second video clip. Given that every teaspoon of seawater can contain millions of bacteria, it does not take a mental giant to understand that the health of marine organisms and the safety of the seafood we eat are closely related.
