@Patrickwebb I would think that a government with nefarious intent would quickly and efficiently dispose of any and all evidence of their nefarious intent. But what do I know.

Not a lot of modern movies have this kind of squeeze.

World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab has filed a complaint to police after a listening device was found in his home in Geneva, Switzerland

Ironically, last year Schwab said “We have all got to submit to surveillance, if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear”

Ford fired a $200,000-a-year employee over a $1.95 cookie he paid for.

Kurt Kromm, 11 years at the Kentucky Truck Plant, felt his blood sugar drop at 3:30 a.m. He's diabetic. The kiosk flashed red on his card, so he paid at the second machine, ate the cookie, went back to building trucks.

A week later security walked him out. Wouldn't even let him take his tools.

Then he pulled up his bank statement. The $1.95 charge was sitting right there. Ford checked with the kiosk company, confirmed he paid, cut him $28,000 in back pay, and begged him to come back.

He said no. Took a job closer to home with a raise.

So the final scorecard: Ford spent $28,000, lost an 11-year veteran, and took a national PR beating to recover a cookie that was never stolen. The cookie cost $1.95. Firing the guy who bought it cost 14,000 cookies.

Not so fast, Belgium.

The city of Los Angeles still has another 29 days to count all the goals from tonight's match.
