  6. "Born to the manor" seems to rub people the wrong way but without people putting a lifetime into developing values around honorable, ethical service then all that remains of democracy is oligarchy and tribalism; all that remains of law is witch trials; all that remains of scientific inquiry is corporate flacks.

The companies argued that the ban was too broad and would disrupt the global supply chain.

    In September 2019, US billionaire Michael Bloomberg told Firing Line‘s Margaret Hoover that Xi Jinping “is not a dictator” and that he has to “satisfy his constituents”. He also argued that Chinese Communist officials “listen to the public”. Bloomberg’s media company has been criticized in the past for self-censoring in order not to upset the Chinese government.」
