[22:26:21] <exec> 08└─Sounds like lead pipes in Rome are just a proxy for lavish overspending, which, when combined with the corruption of a long entrenched system, would seem to naturally result in what we saw towards the end of Rome. So perhaps rather than lead causing downfall, it was the other way around. I mean, if...

[22:26:22] <exec> 08└─Personally I would put the top five problems of Rome as 1. Lack of continuous good leadership and the culling of competition. The imperial form of government made leaders afraid of other potential leaders, potentially great leaders may have died before they had a chance. The five good emperors along...

Devastated by #Harvey because of years of mismanagement. Decades. The oil refineries in Houston are the heart of our economy. And they're having a very, very hard...

[22:27:12] <exec> 08└─If companies are given full constitutional rights (and sadly the supreme court has started doing this) It basically means the company can be treated like another individual.
