By consequences you mean oil companies cutting the rulers of the state in on a percentage of the profits from cheating their citizens. Yeah lovely, I guess.

Fascist light aristocrat Dana Nessel belatedly files lawsuit to get a check for the state as a cut of the money oil has been extorting the citizens of the state for.

This just makes sure Michigan gets it's cut, to use for tax breaks to corporations, for screwing their citizens. Dana Nessel is a cynical fascist. She's not on your side, she has nothing but contempt for you, or any issue, she is playing you, along with the other establishment figures.

The only way forward is replacing them, their performative efforts to fulfill campaign promises as if it were sufficient or acceptable to just file a lawsuit then throw up your hands as if there was no real politik to be played needs to end if we aren't to all fall under the boot of the other party.

I am inside the United States and those corporations are all cancer and need to be cut out before they further spread.

Guilty as charged. I am in incorruptible verbier. I love to verb the wicked too. I just verbed someone actually.

You americans and your pronouns.

This bear is famous I guess, it's a former circus bear that was rescued to that sanctuary area, I think it's a himalayan bear so I presume this is south asia way. There is video of her waking up after hibernation, looking about like this.

That's not a button rupert you dumb shit, it's a fucking monkey paw hidden under a button.

Any group put in overwhelming undisputed power over another group will devolve into abusing them. A point Eisenhower made about Israel, that they would end up doing the same things to them as happened to themselves. Good luck finding it on a search engine now though, the results are now enshitified. If you ask it won't even try to find what you are actually asking for now.

It's there in the historical record though, it was highlighted in a US History book from the 1970s, back when they still taught history. By the 1980s history was both corrupted by monied interests in league with bad actors, and all but removed from curriculum. Our governments were captured inbetween that interval it appears. Including blue state governments in the north.

Pretty convenient world for the cops you are constructing where everyone they try to warrantless search has kiddie porn.

They aren't above [redacted,] on people either. One should never assume the police are acting in good faith in today's world. Or yesterday's. But especially not now.

I don't think that's a logical assumption at all. But something to keep in mind. Especially now, with the administration going after journalists, leakers, and soon if not already critics, people that make fun of them, that criticize Israel, etc.

They would like us to assume everyone whose computer they are seizing is looking at child porn. They could also frame people for that.

Plus if police "believe" they are following the law, they are allowed to use the fruit from the poison tree, for decades now, ever since The Fear of the Others in the crime wave in the 80's and 90's gave them license to cancel the Bill of Rights.

So if there is anything on your computer, deleting it just destroys the file directory to it, they can find it still, you have to delete everything, then rewrite over it with new information.
