Assuming you're literate, it's a selfish way of communicating. It saves the sender a small amount of time where they can 'ummm' instead of formulating a point properly. Then the receiver has to sit through it all, spending multiples of the amount of time they'd spend to read it.
If they ever do a period piece Bond film (set in the 50s like the books), the Hong Kong underworld would be the perfect setting. A smuggling haven crawling with Russian, Chinese, and American agents waging the Cold War in the last jewel of a dying British Empire.

The EU has warned Bosnia that designating a private US company as the main investor in a planned gas pipeline, aimed at ending four decades of dependence on Russian gas imports, could undermine the its EU accession and put access to aid from Brussels at risk. In a letter dated April 13, the EU ambassador to Sarajevo, Luigi Soreca, warned that legislation adopted specifically for the gas pipeline project could jeopardize Bosnia's access to the European energy market, as well as about 1 billion euros in funding under the EU Growth Plan for the Western Balkans. A spokesperson for the EU Delegation told RFE/RL that any energy-sector legislation must remain consistent with Bosnia's accession obligations and should be submitted for review under EU procedures, and that any other interpretation of this letter is wrong and misleading. The Southern Interconnection is a planned gas pipeline intended to link Bosnia with Croatia's gas network and the liquefied natural gas terminal on the island of Krk.

What happened in Italy today with pro-Ukrainian supporters is very reminiscent of what happened to pro-Ukrainian supporters in Donetsk, Ukraine in 2014. Terrifying parallels. Quanto accaduto oggi in Italia con i sostenitori filo-ucraini ricorda molto da vicino quanto successo ai sostenitori filo-ucraini a Donetsk, in Ucraina, nel 2014. Parallelismi terrificanti.
