This is a story on it from an Indian "news" perspective. Six Men In Two Cars Involved In Killing Terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar In Canada, Police Arrived Late And Botched Probe: Report "Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a designated terrorist who headed the Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF), also a designated terrorist organisation. India has rubbished Trudeau's claim and has termed Canada a 'safe haven' for terrorism directed at India. ...There were at least six men and two vehicles involved in a "coordinated" attack on Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, according to The Washington Post. Attackers came in one vehicle and escaped from the area in another vehicle, ...The local Sikh leaders told The Post that 40-50 bullets were fired at Nijjar. The report says 34 hit the terrorist who died on the scene. " Needless to say the killing was organized and designed to ensure nobody was going to put him back together in a hospital.

Republicans are not stupid. They want the clock back to the late sixties when the world and word of old white men was gospel. Prior to the influx of Vietnamese and Mexican immigration. "Fair" elections are a cancer on America because liberals, welfare recipients and illegals plug the voteing machines with worthless votes. What republicans are is a group of people who see democracy and the constitution as pieces of paper. To be used for political purpose not ideals. Then to be flushed down the toilet like classified documents.

Yep. As compared to conservatives who only want to move backwards. To about 1965.

When trump piles up $6.7 trillion of debt in only four years thats called buying your way out of recession.

No but Canada has let Nazi's in and even invited them to the parliament!

News media just doesn't have the whole story. The same day I posted this thread the NYT has a story basically saying that Nijjar was an angel loved by all. I can't be bothered to find it but the NYT usually has well sourced stories. Obviously he had some fanboys as a religious/political leader. With 950k new immigrants last year alone the rubber (admitted) stamp may be overused.

No but presumably whoever was in charge or working on his reapplication at immigration Canada knew all that. Eventually he did get citizenship. Several stories have reported that for Sikhs in India separating from India is a non-issue. Nobody in India seems to be actively promoting it. Supposedly only Canadian ones. But if thats the case why did India decide to send a couple agents to cancel his activities? If what he was doing was a worthless cause why bother? There seems to be some phone intercepts via Americans at the Indian consulate in Canada. The RCMP warned him that someone was actively trying to kill him shortly before he was killed.

You're admitted to the Florida bar. trump's council already used that argument.

Unlike the rackets that the GOP runs Dems have openly called for him to resign. You leader has been convicted and admitted to theft again and again.

Yet some brave people think they can make a dent against all the conspiracy of the right deep state. ...Or is there a different adjective for the hopeless objective?

Palm beach needs to send out tax invoices for the new value.

GOP candidates have to survive the vetting during nomination primaries. Where they have to joke to voters about sexual assault, lie about election fraud, lie about the corruption in Washington, etc. The cream of scum rises to the top.

So in other words he have to use the models that Wharton tried in vain to teach him?

I'd guess that as the actions and court rulings pile up creditors are getting nervous. They likely see bankruptcy on the horizon.

I'm indifferent to unions. in some cases where the abuse of workers is widespread they are necessary. But in some cases small numbers of people can use their leverage to muscle outsized benefits because of the high value of the means of production. Executive pay with perhaps the exception of Elon Musk is a red herring in the situation. Executive pay is highest in the US and the lowest in scandinavian countries. Where in some, executives with high pay packages are ostracized. The airline industry and the automotive industries are the worst of cyclical business with feast and famine. They are worse than mining, shipping and even oil. Working poor people and those who take financial risk to employ people need the highest protections. Protections of laws and fair level operating fields. Just my opinion.

From another story on this decision "The decision will not dissolve Mr. Trump’s entire company, but it sought to terminate his control over a flagship commercial property at 40 Wall Street in Lower Manhattan and a family estate in Westchester County. Mr. Trump might also lose control over his other New York properties, including Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan," More and more decisions about fraud being committed by trump are coming out. The penalty phase which starts next week should be ....happy!

Profits goes to shareholders first second and third. Not to anyone else. The short answer for the highest labor demands and costs in the industry is further contracting out and thats what will happen. The US was number one in auto production till 1975 in 2018 China made more than twice twice as many autos as the US. In 2019 Mexico produced twice as many cars as Canada. All as a result of productivity and labor costs shifting. Currently The US has a 27.5% tariff on Chinese autos. This is how auto markets in other parts of the world will respond to US costs: Kia Australia boss says Chinese car brands will be in Top Five within three years and another story from Australia: "Take, for example, the popular small SUV segment and the price comparison between the Chinese brands and the other big brands. The entry-level MG ZS SUV is priced from $22,990 driveaway while the Toyota Corolla Cross range starts at $33,000 plus on-road costs. That's obviously just one example, but across the board Chinese brand cars tend to have a price advantage over their competition." The US industry is losing market share abroad and at home. But I guess thats ok with you if auto workers get better pay? You should be chairman of the dying industry daily. Nothing in those statements is enlightening to anyone here. Link in the chain of command? WTF are you talking about. Why not make an intelligent argument about your personal support of labor rights if thats what you're trying to do? If you want to just be argumentative try somewhere/someone else. Shareholders have got the short end of the stick in the US auto industry for the last 30 years. Contracting out will be the answer once again. Union labor will get it once again. Existing legacy union workers will get raises. New hires will get nothing, costs will rise and auto plants will go to Mexico, or further offshore.. US auto production will continue to decile until it dies just like furniture manufacturing did in the US.

Hence the argument that the President should not be picking sides in this strike which he has done. No US president has ever joined in a picket line over a contract dispute. Biden has called a 40% increase in pay justified and told them to "stick with it" today while on the picket line. In Germany on the other hand negotiation is the SOP. Public sector unions just agreed to 5.5% over two years. They arrived at it through government sponsored arbitration.

Shareholders directly vote on the actions of management including management compensation at annual shareholders meetings and through mail, or online votes. They vote for and against the board of directors. The board proposes pay for themselves and for the senior management. A vote is a direct link between shareholders and the compensation of management.Shareholders do not vote for the pay of employees or did you not know that?

Perhaps but executive compensation is irrelevant. That comes our of the pockets of shareholders not union members. The previous union contract sold out new workers for the benefit of existing workers. New workers get as little as $15.78 an hour currently. Which shoots down the argument that these contracts "drags up" the wages of other Americans. If workers gave up so much why are their costs still $20 an hour higher than Tesla and $10 above US based non big three auto plants. Auto workers already have profit sharing which they won during the late zeros. "General Motors Co. will deliver its largest profit-sharing payouts ever to employees next month ― up to $12,750 this year to about 42,300 eligible hourly workers, according to the company's financial results released Tuesday....Last year, GM employees could have received up to $10,250 in profit sharing." A grand a month is the quid pro quo for what they gave up before. UAW workers also receive health benefits at 150% more than what the average US worker receives. GM stock trades at the same price today as it did in 2010. So if the company is making so much where is the payback for shareholders? Doesn't the widows and orphans that own the company deserve compensation?

President Biden is headed to a UAW auto workers picket line today. IMO its a mistake to pick a side in this dispute. He has stated that the UAW gave up allot when the industry was in trouble. That its time to get it back. Airlines and the auto industry are two low return industries for shareholders because of the dominance of unions in those industries. For autos Tesla a non-union company, enjoys a $20 an hour advantage before any settlement. More jobs will shift to Mexico and other low cost plants if costs rise too much. US auto companies have lost market share continuously since 1950. US Market Share by Manufacturer – 1961-2016 Contrary to what UAW spokespersons have said repeatedly. The rising UAW wages don't "drag up" the wages of everyone. They make it difficult for US manufactures to compete with imports.

Its inherent within all conservatives in the US that victimization is a part of the equation, their essence.

Well founded points. But US tax policies for the benefit of the wealthy also has a component.

Weell I'll disagree. Yes the US has left many people stranded and abandoned. The Kurds and the Afghans the most recent. But a part of that is that politicians just keep wanting to use all that military firepower thats just sitting and sailing around. They define too many situations as having important national interests for the US. The US is the leader in the current confrontations against China and Russia. Both of whom have imperial ambitions. Without US leadership NATO would be in a far worse state. China and Russia are generating enemies at a rate at least ten times that of the US. Russia will likely need a couple decades to recover from Putin's stupidity and this war with Ukraine.Their economy was smaller than Canada's prior to the war and they just announced a cessation of refined oil exports.

Which is somewhat contrary to a long range weapons system but its better than nothing. Perhaps the Ukrainians will swap out a penetrating warhead so they can send more Russian officers to the Winter Palace in the sky. Gen. Mark A. Milley was interviewed about the US sending ATACAMS to Ukraine. A true political officer he did a song and dance on how Ukraine didn't need them. That they were the wrong weapon system for their needs, etc. I could certainly see why he got promoted to where he was.
