Perhaps the next step is to improve our land use policy, such that one individual isn’t afforded a mansion’s worth of real estate.

If the administration starts persecuting white Americans, that’s far more likely to rile up middle-class

Does this matter at this point? What are middle class Americans going to do about it? Vote?

Conceivably it is both. There’s a Dr. Lisa Anderson on a list somewhere for some reason and the admin simply does not care if they sent the letter to the right person.

Similarly, when the ICE agents kick down her door, they won’t care if she’s the right person either.

In fact, those guys are easier to train

Trained by whom?

Your premise was that this violence was unorganized.

What’s a more effective protest, people holding signs handing out cookies, or people holding signs squirting passersby with water pistols?

Really depends on how hot it is outside

It was secretly Antifa but also wholely justified but also the media is lying to you about it but also I was there and it was Based AF.

I’m sure anyone but Harris, Clinton and Biden would’ve sufficed

Glances nervously at Tulsi Gabbard and Marianna Williamson

Well, maybe…

always thought military experience should be a prerequisite for presidency to thin out the billionaires

The rich guy vanity campaigns are certainly annoying. But I see an immediate moral hazard in letting the military have a monopoly on presidential candidates.

And lots of military guys - Micheal Flynn, David Paetreus, Pete Hegseth - are demonstrably fucking awful. Idk if you improve the field this way.

Andrew Yang also championed hiring a management consulting firm to identify areas of inefficiency in the federal workforce and cut 15–20% of current government workers, assigning KPIs and sunset clauses to all Congressional legislation, and assigning AI life coaches with Oprah’s voice to people in need of marriage counseling.

So, a very mixed bag of ideas. Few of them had a serious implementation behind them. Yang loved to noodle, but failed to explain where the novel technologies and extra-constitutional authorities would come from.

Department of Government Efficiency is about commodifying the domestic proletariat, you say?!

Maybe instead of whining about Panama paper doesn’t do as much as one can fantasies, read the report I linked again

The man running the law firm that managed the fraud never saw a trial, much less a conviction.

Your article of "Um, actually!"s doesn’t change that.

But what happens if that changes? What if in a flip of a switch, unorganized but deliberate violence is purposefully used to address these actions?

If you resist arrest, you’re definitely MS-13.

Also, and this cannot go without saying often enough but… how many times have you had to kill someone in self defense? Not, like, in a video game or a power fantasy, but IRL?

Was the first time you did it easy? Like, did you feel anything when you pulled a trigger or swung a weapon and saw someone’s life end?

“Just do unspeakable things to your oppressors” is such a cringe, fantastical take, because it assumes this population of hardened killers who simply haven’t had the need to indulge in blood-drenched super-violence.

You don’t just flip a switch and start killing people. We aren’t all secretly Rambo.

I’m asking Seth Gorka and he’s telling me it’s terrorism.

Researches, investigations, lawsuits, trails, laws and legislation tooks years or even decades to conclude.

After FTX imploded, Sam Bankman Fried was indicted within weeks and in prison within months. The Enron investigation and indictments came down four years after the company officially filed bankruptcy in December of 2001.

To claim prosecutions under the Panama Papers (or the Trump indictments or the Sackler oxycotin scandal or the Epstein case dismissal or the SEC investigations into Tesla or any number of other endlessly delayed prosecutions) required decades to wrap up only illustrates a deliberate attempt by domestic governments to slow roll and bury investigations that prosecutors had no personal interest in pursuing.

Joking about nothing has been done after Panama paper every time everywhere the topic came up over and over and over again is tiring and insulting

Ramón Fonseca Mora, the central figure behind Mossack Fonseca, was let out on bail a few months after his arrest and remained unconvicted until his death. How is that not a joke to you?

After the Panama Papers and similar leaks, people are ready to believe some kind of anonymous hacker collective is still out there investigating and releasing information. So they’ll jump on the headline, because it resonates with their memories of historical incidents. They won’t interrogate it, because they’re not in the position to sift fact from fiction.

This is one of the problems with Upvote-based news aggregators to begin with. You’re asking people to make evaluations of an article’s interest at the headline level, rather than relying on editors and ombudsmen to sift out what information is both credible and interesting to a wide audience.

You can take this a step further and ask why we have this aggregation of wealth at all. Private wealth consolidation is a form of malinvestment resulting from a handful of individuals who are told they can effectively loot the economy unchecked.

Taxation “solves” the problem by clawing back some of that malinvestment. But if you recognize it as malinvestment from the outset, you can see arguments against having these private aggregators of wealth at all.

Instead of taxes, why not simply impose a maximum income? In baseball, you’d call it a salary cap.

And some guy says “hey man, you need to give back like 20% of that. And that’s kinda lowkey generous tbh.” And their response is literally like “no.”

Beyond every great fortune is a great crime.

Why would you think the modern day Robber Barons could be swayed by social need? If they cared about social need, they wouldn’t be billionaires to begin with.

Sure. But then you’re still relying on an accurate odometer. I assumed the question was how you do it when disputing one.

In the case of the article, the plaintiff is using prior vehicle mileage rates as countervailing evidence.

I couldn’t tell you my average monthly usage.

Open up your Google Maps (or navigation app of choice) and you’ll likely have a record of how far you’ve traveled within a given time period.

Subtract off any cab rides and rides in friends’ cars, and that’s your number plus or minus some distance in driveways or parking garages that the app can’t accurately measure.

Hinton’s lawsuit alleges that Tesla “employs an odometer system that utilizes predictive algorithms, energy consumption metrics, and driver behavior multipliers that manipulate and misrepresent the actual mileage traveled by Tesla Vehicles” and that his car “consistently exhibited accelerated mileage accumulations of varying percentages ranging from 15 percent to 117 percent higher than plaintiff’s other vehicles and his driving history.”

Here comes Big Government, trying to constrain cutting edge innovations in accurately counting how many times the wheel rotates.

I hope DOGE is able to save California from itself by defunding whatever court system might be involved in persecuting hard working odometer engineers with this flagrantly Woke and Soy legal case.
