Right. They are just gonna let anyone sell anything.

My wife is artsy, and I'm sciency. Maybe we can go into snake oil.

Ah, you forget the alternative. Instead of quicker review, we could just reduce oversight, and remove safety regulations.

Agreed, but that was kind of the premise of the discussion, I think.

Unless you have a keylogger installed.

of course he ducking does. If he didn't, the court would have to try to impose some kind of penalty, and they know as well as any of us that they have no actual power to do so.

Ten gets you twenty that the man in question is already a corpse. Probably been dead since the judge ordered him returned. If it ever comes to it, it will be revealed that he died in an accident, and the courts will take a moment to wash their finger at Trump.

And that will be that.

Thanks! That is sensible. I thought it was inputting something about their methodology.

Which seems to be "ask the nearest clown car, and use the worst idea."

I didn't. I what to know why people who know more then I do think it's a problem. The process is called "learning."

I'm missing something. I often use asterisk to indicate multiplication. Clearly you guys are seeing this as implying something troublesome, but I don't know what.

Of course, I also wouldn't trust me to decide tax rates, so there's that.

To a certain extent, yes.

I used to do a dirty job. I spent most days trying hard to minimize the amount of grime I got on my hands. Some days it got past the wrist, despite my best efforts, and at that point, I would just give up and dive in.

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

If I'm gonna be shit on for being unethical no matter what I do, (because that is no option to not consume under capitalism for most of us) I might as well be unethical in a way that brings me a little happiness.

This is also a lovely example of why it can be risky to damn with too broad a brush.

In in a similar boat. All I can do is bail as hard as I can.

Bones in the Ocean hurts me in ways that it has no business doing so.

I've never suffered a loss of any great magnitude. I've never even been to sea, though I desperately wish I had been.
