Oh, totally, the portion I was speaking to was the issue of local news being owned by news conglomerates so that’s where I see the grift coming from, mostly

And if we hold people personally liable, I’m more on board with that. I just would not touch taxpayer dollars for municipal, state, or federal funds with these suits.

The plastic producers were the ones pushing the grift and controlling the narrative/studies, just like what was done with fossil fuels and climate change (certainly a trend here with the oil industry).

Additionally, they’re the ones that directly benefitted the most so it makes sense to go after their fraudulent gains.

I’m all for being critical of municipalities and elected officials, but the solution is not to bankrupt cities or state/federal funds through litigation. The focus should be on the producers. Go to the top of the chain/follow the money.

Edit: To your point about news conglomerates, that seems more viable and they certainly need better incentives and regulation.

Yeah lol I’ve been a fan since then, for sure. She’s a badass.

Isn’t this the start of a Pierce Brosnan Bond movie? The one with Michelle Yeoh lol

Are you me?

I hope someone is writing this novel already, but there’s definitely some gold in a story featuring witness tampering and faking DNA signatures for recently deceased witnesses to take the stand.

I’m out of Dresden Files novels, so this would definitely scratch my urban fantasy/magipunk itch.

Oh, there are far worse things than death.

Lol seriously, though, I’m sure we’d come up with something. Humanity is remarkably inventive when it comes to punishments. Thankfully, now, some of us are at least talking about better ways to make them fit the crime.

Love ol’ Jim. My stepdad and I caught him for his 2014 tour and it’s been one of the highlights of both our live entertainment experiences lol that and seeing Rush in 2012.

Edit: “live” entertainment lol… Gotta love mobile.

Only past a certain age, though lol. I was definitely a Toys R Us kid, so I’m pretty sure I’m out of luck.

I’d be dead by the time lunch rolls around at work.

Genuinely everything. It’s like a whole program on just “how to find the newest worst way to be a human being”.

Haha the sacrifices we make

Replace “feet” with “dick” and you’ve got Vance, right here.

I don’t like this comparison lol

Either “crazy beach” lol

She was horrendous, but I don’t think anybody wants anything to do with orange weirdo, either.

“I don’t like the result of your deliberations, jury. You’re all unreasonable and the giant corporation can keep on price gouging, I mean, uh, charging for its services at a competitive price…”

Fuck this judge.

Ca-Ca-Ca YEEAAAHHH, baby…

“Can two twats reproduce? The answer may surprise you. We’ll find out more on our story, at eleven…”

Yeah, depending on where I’m going, there are specific areas you can bring your car around to if you’re deciding to camp in the car lol parking lots, in my experience, are for day trippers and people looking to drop their car off and hoof it to the stream for fishing or go deeper to camp/backpack.

Edit: West Coast/Rockies and foothills mainly for me.

The jokes still hit pretty much the same lol. Definitely same energy.
