Are we really going to cheer every #plutocrat & #autocrat that has a spat with #ElonMusk, think Trump & #MichaelOLeary?

If you are after an ethical positioning on the #Ryanair buy-out, here is one: stop #flying

A quotation from Shakespeare

KING RICHARD:      For within the hollow crown
   That rounds the mortal temples of a king
   Keeps Death his court, and there the antic sits,
   Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp,
   Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
   To monarchize, be feared, and kill with looks,
   Infusing him with self and vain conceit,
   As if this flesh which walls about our life
   Were brass impregnable; and humored thus,
   Comes at the last and with a little pin
   Bores through his castle wall, and farewell, king!

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Richard II, Act 3, sc. 2, l. 165ff (3.2.165-175) (1595)

A quotation from Shakespeare

KING RICHARD: For God’s sake, let us sit upon the ground
   And tell sad stories of the death of kings —
   How some have been deposed, some slain in war,
   Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed,
   Some poisoned by their wives, some sleeping killed,
   All murdered.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Richard II, Act 3, sc. 2, l. 160ff (3.2.160-165) (1595)

I'm in I.T. at Big Law. It looks like my firm could be targeted next (he said, posting an article about which law firms could be targeted next).
