Our entire society is set up to wring out anyone who is unfortunate enough to find themselves buying anything.
And as resources get squeezed, more and more people are trying to claw at smaller and smaller pieces of the overall economic pie.
The breaking point will be catastrophic.
I mean, if you want get into it, the concept of Judicial Review is something the supreme Court made up for itself in 1803.
This isn't an accident.
It's to give plausible deniability to racists who don't want to deal with EEOC violations as often.
Because then Putin would release his kompromat
Every pixel product I have had was fine when I got it, but Google just won't commit to support its products in any reasonable way.
I've never had similar issues with Samsung.
Passed out drinking. What did he do before that? What kompromat do they have on him?
Could be other factions trying to isolate Putin.
Nah, if mittens were a republican, they'd try to marry the baby.
He was already hiding assets because his ex wife was suing for full custody and would wind up with substantial child support. Her lawyers argued that he was batshit and shouldn't be around the kids. His lawyers argued it was all just an act. Then he got on the stand and doubled down on his "act" and acted batshit.
It's also been known that he's been hiding assets since due to this ruling since early 2022.
So what do I expect? I expect us to stop buying the bullshit "plausible deniability" angles these crooks keep thinking up. Plenty of people owe restitution that they can never hope to pay back. They still owe the money and are expected to make reasonable payments, to not artificially limit their income, and to not bump up their expenses unnecessarily. If they can't do that, then the court can and should garnish their accounts above a set budget.
Black Earth is one of the best books I've read about WW2 and the Holocaust.
"Omg mom is an alien too???"
If you look at policies, people overwhelmingly support policies, initiatives, laws, etc. that progressive groups champion.
If you look at how people rate themselves and people they know, they will simultaneously say that they are all moderates or conservatives.
Politicians further misunderstand the overall lean of their constituents, because the loudest and most consistent voices are regressives screaming that all conservatives are with them.
Add to this that progressive groups tend to be focusing on actually doing the things, while regressives can quickly build a fantasy world and just all agree to repeat it ad nauseum, and you've got a perfect storm for people to not have any good way to actually describe the world they want to live in.
