Today, on the – shhhh :) – xth birthday of my dear friend Giulio, another wonderful Milanese died: Claudio Abbado. Thankfully and with deep respect I am bowing to a noble character and extraordinary artist.

Fuckwits, basically, are fuckwits
A "fuckwit" is a person who has consistently failed to obtain any degree of 'clue'.
To cut it even shorter:
Fuckwits, basically, are fuckwits.
Who would have thought
Seven studies using experimental and naturalistic methods reveal that upper-class individuals behave more unethically than lower-class individuals. In studies 1 and 2, upper-class individuals were more likely to break the law while driving, relative to lower-class individuals. In follow-up laboratory studies, upper-class individuals were more likely to exhibit unethical decision-making tendencies (study 3), take valued goods from others (study 4), lie in a negotiation (study 5), cheat to increase their chances of winning a prize (study 6), and endorse unethical behaviour at work (study 7) than were lower-class individuals. Mediator and moderator data demonstrated that upper-class individuals’ unethical tendencies are accounted for, in part, by their more favourable attitudes toward greed.

Appatreetion

| Be lion-mettled, proud, and take no care Who chafes, who frets, or where conspires are. Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be, until Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill shall come against him. [Macbeth, Act IV, Scene 1 / Third Apparition] |
