I wish Stuff would get another photo of Ralston. It is not pleasant seeing a man putting on his eyebrows.
Still, a good post.

I know they're both over the legal age of consent, but even so, a 22 year old usually has far less social and economic power than a 40 year old.

Sayeth Farrar:
The challege now for the Government is to reduce or eliminate low quality Government spending (and the cancelation of the $200,000 Families Commission conference is an important symbolic signal to the public service), so that the inherited decade of deficits is turned around, and further tax cuts will not have to wait a decade.
Surely neither Farrar nor anybody else believes the Government can finance the tax cuts and all the other Urgent commitments by cutting bureaucracy? Surely not?

So, online open Government is available only to IE users on Windows.

it's a small part of a large portfolio, then only hindsight says it's a bad investment.
It wasn't an investment. It didn't cost them anything. They used their company's money (at least what was left over of the company's money after the shonky property investments had been capitalised) to buy the yacht. Remember, these are two men who sucked vast amounts of capital out of their failing company in the form of "dividends." They had no interest in investment; they wanted cash and playthings.

The only crookedness is when the amount of risk is misrepresented.
Not quite the only crookedness: using your finance company to buy yourself a yacht is pretty crooked; not necessarily illegal, but certainly crooked.

All of a sudden, working for a large corporation becomes more attractive.
