Yep you can definitely build lots of skyscrapers, then just demolish them without any financial repercussion.

"The official said crew on the dhow, which did not have a country flag, were planning to transfer the missile parts, including warheads and engines, to another boat off the coast of Somalia."

Looks like "Finding Out" to me.

The gallows humor is real. Coping mechanisms for traumatic jobs is real. Ever hear civilian firefighters joke around? Same. Military firefighters and combat medics probably have the darkest humor. We've all collectively decided we want people to be really good at killing people and blowing shit up so other people don't kill out people and blow our shit up.

Mocking SpecOps who are KIA is something generally off limits for me. I handed over a hundred of our flags to surviving family so I'm humor dysfunctional in that area. However... jokes? Okay that's kinda funny. Best if served from combat vets I think. I regret making a fuss. Dysfunctional.

I hope you're respected in similar fashion some day and it hurts.

They tried to make their decisions too clever. The analysis of personal background beyond basic measures is a problem. That additional analysis is where biases breed.

That's a rather old and common concept. GIGO

Very much for this. In schools in decent states the students self identity. That is then used to look for over representation in suspension or expulsion.

How else can mathematically prove bias or discrimination?

Individually, the ethnicity is known or presumed by staff but without it being known systemically it can't be addressed systemically.
