Imagine the pure—I don’t even know what word fits here, “hubris”? plain old stupidity?—that it takes to decide that, instead of just paying off eight ex-employees in a lawsuit like every other corporation would do, you decide spend the time and money trying to change fundamental parts of the current government so that…

Two things. One, Don Draper himself wouldn’t put up with this shit at work. Two, the current fascist, Catholic theocratic majority on the Supreme Court would be happy to.

Given how the Six Stooges on the Supremes love wiping their collective asses with the Constitution and how they’re (smirk) originalists (“We love citing 18th century precedents, except when we make up bullshit constitutional reasons when we feel like it—which is most of the time.”), I hate to say it but the prediction…

If only Biden had the guts to exercise that ruling the same way we know Trump inevitably will.

“According to the supreme court, you must let Mr. Musk breed you. Please proceed to the Tesla Cyber-Insemination Dungeon. You will be docked 1 week’s pay for every minute of delay.”

The court has already invalidated much of the federal beaurocracy’s ability to regulate anything, so I can see where this is going. We’re f’d.

The Court’s previous decision: “The president is above the law.”

It’s common law for employers to be held responsible for the negligent conduct of their employees while working. If they weren’t no business would ever be held liable for anything negligent that happens because only the specific employee would be. Based on your rationale, if the business isn’t negligent for the…

One thing that would help would be to change tax law so that fines are not deductible as a business expense. Instead, a fine would go straight to the bottom line and reduce profits. That would increase the pain, and have some more effect on corporate thinking.

It means they stole his car, but because it involves money being made by a business which in our fantastic hellscape of end-stage capitalism trumps most laws, it’s not going to be prosecuted as such.

520 pounds is not half a ton

Meh, I live in the South. If the drive throughs around here were big enough my neighbors would use these things to drop off the kids at the elementary school.

The laws were written when nobody predicted these ultracorporations with their hyper profits would ever become a thing. And they’ve bought and paid for politicians on every front to ensure they are never updated. Their punishments are theater, big numbers that are unimaginable for the ordinary working American, yet…

Is Boeing running for President?

New GOP VP contender. 

Honda Fit - the perfect car for city and suburban dwellers who don’t need to use the highway. Massive amount of cargo space inside, tiny dimensions on the outside.

It’s a big country, plenty to see and do right here. Plus MANY people have neither the money nor the vacation time to leave. Europeans can just hop on a train and be in another country in minutes to hours, it’s rather more of a project to leave the US. Unless if you happen to live near Canada or Mexico - and the…

This means O’Connor is a citizen. He’s voted, paid taxes and has a social security number

More than half the country doesn’t have a passport - IIRC it’s at 42% do currently. Up from 15% pre-9/11.
