-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Noooo you can’t hold us responsible for our negative externalities that’s gommunsm!!!!!
I took my Econ 101 professor pretty seriously until he just skipped the entire chapter on externalities because we "didn't need to learn it".
I didn’t even know states could sue other states like that
Recent examples of court cases between states are California v. Texas (2021) challenging the Affordable Care Act after the mandate was reduced to $0 and Pennsylvania v. Texas (2020, dismissed by SCOTUS for lack of standing) challenging the election results.
The federal government can also sue a state or vice versa such as the four cases since 2016 named United States v. Texas.
Hell, Rhode Island vs. Massachusetts was ruled on in 1838 after going through the lower courts for seven years, starting in 1831, over a border dispute.
There's a whole bunch of cases between states going back to the country's beginning. I'm not a lawyer, though, so I don't know what the oldest case is between two states is. Then there's stuff like Dredd Scott vs. Sanford, which was basically Illinois vs. Missouri.
Hochul will probably give in to them
