Yes all those people draining billions every year giving nothing any keeping the money.
You’re taking about corporate welfare too, right?
Not the movie that caused it, but during either the first or second Tobey McGuire Spider Man movie there is a scene where Peter tells Aunt May he is responsible for Uncle Ben’s death. Right during this dramatic scene in the theater a kid said pretty loudly (but not quite yelling) “I have to go poop!” Quite of a few of us burst out laughing during this heavy scene.
Can’t wait for “we are locking you up until you confess”
We already have that, it’s called not being rich and white.
People get strong-armed into confessing all the time. I personally know some one who confessed to arson they didn’t commit, forced to pay restitution, and serve time in a juvenile facility on the weekends.
Why would they confess to something they didn’t do? I asked the same thing from a mutual friend. It turns out they were feeling a lot of pressure because one parent had died and the other one would be left alone if he they were convicted and sent to jail. The plea deal made it plausible to love a semi-normal life.
This person isn’t alone. I’ve met someone else who pled to (as far as I know fictitious) child abuse claims from an ex-spouse to stay out of prison.
It happens all the time.
It’s not about hate, it’s about a lizard’s right to have seven children, disown them but still allow them to work for you under your new kid who mysteriously disappears and is replaced by another child you call JR (despite one of your first seven having JR in his name but sharing the rest of your name.)
12 Monkeys (1995)
Paradox (2016)
Both of these movies deal with time travel, I know that is a turn off for some people. Also in both of these movies it’s not that evil overtly wins, it’s more that protagonists fail to prevent the inciting incident from happening. With Paradox it’s not really implied until the last scene what has actually been going on.

How old are those debts?
"On February 5, 1997, a civil jury in Santa Monica, California, unanimously found Simpson liable for the wrongful death of and battery against Goldman, and battery against Brown. (The Brown family had not filed a wrongful death claim.)[112] Simpson was ordered to pay $33,500,000 in damages: $8.5 million in compensatory damages to the Goldman family, and $12.5 million in punitive damages to each family.[113] His net worth at the time was $11 million"
Why arent they already paid?
He claimed he didn't have the money and took actions to reduce his liability / tried to hide income so it wouldn't be directed toward this debt.
Im assuming theres a reason the court disnt put him back in jail for not paying it?
This is was a civil trial, he was acquitted on the criminal charges. His income was garnished and directed toward this debt.
If they were contesting this for years then why would that not resolve?
The families did keep taking him to court. An example is If I Did It the book he tried to publish and the families took control of the publishing and proceeds, shrinking the "If" so it looks like the title of the book is "I Did It."
This is a case of the rich/celebrity playing the system in a way normal folk can't; though in this case the families of the victims kept the pressure up so he needed to watch his step and got financial slap downs when he missteped or was caught trying to keep money without paying them.
Look im not saying i want this. Im saying its gross and shitty but that YOU and I have the right be that way in our wills and this isnt the executors fault.
Too many people think the executor has more decision power than we like at times.
I don't know what is in the will, but I can certainly imagine it does include directives to reduce payments to the families. I do agree it is the executor's job to carry out the person's intentions in the will.
There is a fun theory that AI will become a god, a vengeful one which will punish everyone who didn’t participate enough in its creation.
I have a similar story. A relative was researching one of the family lines (he was early teens I think) and was advised by an older family member not to research that line further since there was a “pirate” and it’s “not good to have pirates in the family.” We were also told we had Native American blood somewhere.
We’re now pretty convinced the “pirate” was actually black but white passing and the Native American story was a cover for the slightly darker skin his descendants had.
They have been for a while. Weren’t there incidents a couple months ago with former IOF members using military-grade pepper spray on protesters.
