Ford paid his workers well to prevent attrition and buy loyalty and increase
turnover. The attrition rates were very high and it was costly to train new
workers.

I'd fail the physical fitness test. Notice how all PAP candidates look like
they're coming out of the national reservists' drill? They're fitter than a
club cricket side :-)

Interesting Ethiopian example! I lived in Singapore for eight years in the 90s.
Singapore and Malaysia were free the same time. If I recall correctly Singapore
changed no name - all British names renamed and are the same to this day. As
James Bloodworth jokes, everything in Malaysia got renamed
Modi does arouse a lot of ire among some of us. Perhaps not on the list. To be
clear, I did think Charles had a genuine question and I didn't feel he was
singling me out. But as Modi is the poster-boy of the 'right' and Roy is
becoming the poster-girl of the 'left', comparisons become inevitable

Amrut is available at 26 pounds a bottle at an upscale shebeen in Mayfair in
London. I saw it. Glad to know the desi price. I'll buy it when I am next in
India.
How good is it? I had a bad Irish single malt last night. Forgot the name,
junked the bottle.

Some people with names on such lists are on FBI/FAA/NSA no-fly lists. One of my
friends has twice had a hard time boarding flights within the US. Getting out
of such a list is a Kafkaesque nightmare.
