Why wouldn’t it? The closure leads to price increases which leads to inflation which leads to non-dollar assets (ie stocks going up in value)

Second from a US perspective the strait matters the least it has since world war 2. If the price stays high a bunch of fracking will come back online.

Either: 1) they are incorrect following the law or 2) they are correctly following the law And nobody can tell with 100% certainty either without going to court because law isn’t deterministic.

If it is 1 Amazon could be either: a) incompetently not considering your situation individually and will roll over when it gets escalated b) maliciously offer low and intending to fight it

Both Canada and EU have strong labour laws so probably worth fighting it even if you lose the 1 month

* For markdown I prefer the synatx highlighting and scrollbars that show up on github to the giant blobs plain text gives you.

* I rarely want to attach binary files while I often find myself embedding inline images to illustrate a point

* I use cat test | gist -c -f test.txt -d "Output from failure" (it puts the gist link in my clipboard).
