Who has $5m and wants to live in a nascent autocracy? What a shithole country.

Wikipedia: - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_(Roman_army)

At the time of the Punic Wars, pay was set at 2 obols per day, or one-third of a drachma (one denarius after 211 BC), for the period they were under arms.[2] In addition, each infantryman was entitled to a share of the spoils of war (prisoners were sold as slaves, as well as animals, treasure, weapons, and other goods), which were auctioned off and the proceeds distributed to officers and men according to various criteria. Centurions received twice the pay of their men, that is, four obols or two-thirds of a drachma a day. As for the food ration, infantrymen were distributed about two-thirds of an Attic medimnos of grain per month.[3]

I think we're past laws now.

It adheres to the letter of the law only when you ignore the 4th and 5th ammendments. But why bother? The constitution ain't worth shit anyways.

"Legal theft". Careful not to choke on your words. It is a well known and well documented abuse of the legal system. A great many police departments, corrupt even more than usual, use it to fund departmental expenses, staff perks and bonuses.

Fighting street level injustice through inaccessible and notoriously corrupt courts is also a sad joke.

I don't believe it's on, or off. It's chaos by design.
