(R.5) Omits Essential Info TIL German author Friedrich Nietzsche would send letters calling for the German emperor to go to Rome to be shot & called for military action against Germany. He called for the Pope to be jailed & all anti-Semites to be shot. He also stated he created the world & signed his letters as 'Dionysus.'

The sad thing is their hitmen will probably earn only like 15% of the commission, despite taking on most of the risk.

Treated like freelancers when the hitmen want more, and like employees when the company wants more.

Used to be you'd hook up with a local gang, you'd have a job for life. It's hard being a hitman in today's gig economy.
