    No, it's just the corporate feudalism we live under. I guess that's pretty bizarre itself, though.

    Why are you so confident that they'll still care about jurisdiction 2 years from now? The SCOTUS does not respect or obey the law or the constitution.

    We've been watching them ignore more and more of the rules and precedents that the court has always held to. They're becoming more and more confident in their ability to do whatever the fuck they want, because, as it turns out, in the real world, the SCOTUS is accountable to no one except maybe the mob violence that we are going to see when things continue to not improve.

    Waukesha County is by far the most conservative in the state, and has been playing a massive role in destroying our state's democratic process for a few decades now.

    Another fun fact about it is that they've been trying for years to glom onto the Lake Michigan watershed, which, geographically, it is not a part of. They want to straight up take our water, which they do not need, in exchange for nothing whatsoever of any real value.

    Please explain Idaho, Alaska, Wyoming, the Dakotas, Utah, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia then. All of them are filled to the brim with some the dumbest people on Earth.

  • Group of up to 50 people shoplift about $100K worth of luxury items from L.A. mall; used bear spray against guards
  • MostlyBirds MostlyBirds Now 100%

    You know someone is a shit person when they equate income with value as a human being.

    Even if that were a valid take, almost every working poor person contributes more to society than nearly any rich person does, and would therefore still have more human worth.

    Who actually gives a fuck about corporate property being destroyed? These companies commit more theft from their workers than all other theft combined. They objectively deserve this.

    I'm not rich at all. I'll never be able to afford to retire, much less drop everything to go to fucking Hawaii on vacation. I'm just not a shitty person with no empathy.

    Stealing from wealthy corporations is an extremely valid and morally acceptable form of protest. Hell, it's a morally good thing to do even if it's not meant as a protest.

    I'm not going to defend assaulting the guards, though, except in the case of self-defense. Store security guards have no business using force against shoplifters, and most company policies align with that fact.

    This is happening in the wealthiest nation in human history. The government has an unquestionable obligation to provide relief for these people. Suggesting that keeping the victims of this disaster in the area and going to work while their homes are still burning is an acceptable answer is revolting. Fuck this disgusting "but what about the economy" attitude.

    I genuinely don't care. Using the location of ongoing mass human sufferring as a tourist destination is disgusting and entirely indefensible. "I couldn't get a refund" is not a valid excuse.

    Visiting a burning, inhospitable hellscape where people are actively dying and the rest are having their entire lives destroyed, and doing it for fun because "well, we've been planning it for a while, and want to go somewhere as a family and can't come up with anything else exotic enough for our standards on short notice" is incredibly trashy and selfish.

    They sound like shitty people, honestly, and I hope they have an awful time.

    Uh, no. I don't even know how you came to that conclusion. Low unemployment means a smaller pool of people to fill open positions.
