Yeah, good point. A judge signed a warrant on just 'this place uses more electricity than others'? The court system's just a rubber stamp at this stage.

Exactly, the city is going to be on the hook for this, at worst he'll get a talking to by the chief.

Probably more a case of these rockets just following a ballistic trajectory without sophisticated targeting options.

They want to grow the population in order to have more workers and consumers. There's also a white nationalist component where they're afraid that white people will become a minority and they'll use this demographic power to agitate for more equality, which is basically oppression to those people (because if it was only about economic growth, they'd be pro migration).

It already is, basically.

I mean, it's probably a good thing China is sending those. They're very easy to hit.

Yeah, I took a risk with that one, happy it worked out.

Yeah, it's actually incredible that some people still manage to break corruption laws with all the stuff you can get away with legally.

They had done successful dives in the past. The hull could withstand compression/decompression a few times, but eventually it gave up (something they were undoubtedly warned about by people that knew better than to use carbon fibre for this application).

Didn't you hear? A cop got shot in the subway just the other day, along with 3 other bystanders. They're just being hunted out there.

He's ok with pushing outright lies, and it's hard to keep up with all the right wing lies that are floating around. I hope Walz just starts calling them the liars they are instead of avoiding 'name calling'.

I think there's a bit of a sea change in business generally where arbitration ended up being worse for corporations if too many customers/employees used that option because it meant paying a bunch of money for each case instead of dealing with one class action suit.

While the arbitration courts themselves are generally biased to corporate interests, it's not enough of a thumb on the scale to make up for the huge downside.
