Time to End Roundtripping by Big Pharma

U.S. pharma companies should pay rather more of their corporate income tax in the U.S.—and start producing more of their best drugs in the U.S. as well.

I love this provocation for libraries: 'Because archival methodology accommodates lower quality descriptive records, this also makes it a perfect fit for automated approaches that derive description from digital materials. This includes full text, technical metadata, or the output of computational techniques such as entities extracted using Natural Language Processing (NLP). Archival description is also a perfect fit for using emerging machine learning techniques for extracting meaningful information from digital images and documents for discovery if these tools can be used without causing harm'

Designing Digital Discovery and Access Systems for Archival Description

We believe the Adani Group has been able to operate a large, flagrant fraud in broad daylight in large part because investors, journalists, citizens and even politicians have been afraid to speak out for fear of reprisal.
We have included 88 questions in the conclusion of our report. If Gautam Adani truly embraces transparency, as he claims, they should be easy questions to answer. We look forward to Adani’s response.

The independent auditor for Adani Enterprises and Adani Total Gas is a tiny firm called Shah Dhandharia. Shah Dhandharia seems to have no current website. Historical archives of its website show that it had only 4 partners and 11 employees. Records show it pays INR 32,000 (U.S. $435 in 2021) in monthly office rent. The only other listed entity we found that it audits has a market capitalization of about INR 640 million (U.S. $7.8 million).😂😂😂😂
