The problem and double-standard here is the implicit assumption that a transaction by a poor person would warrant the legal requirement to verify it. But a transaction by a wealthy person is somehow inherently more trustworthy.

Nobody slices cheddar for hot sandwiches. They grate it.

Yes, because we’ve seen so well how #NotAllMen defenses are received.

Mattis. Comey. Jordan. Jones.

I would have thought that by 1977 all major automakers would have been using maintenance-free batteries?
