The judge is trying to prevent any pretext to getting the case thrown out on appeals. It’s bullshit but having all this hard work go up in smoke because a brainless judge higher up found a tiny fault in an unprecedented case would be horrid.
If The Invisible Hand has bestowed you with wealth, clearly you are blessed among men, and the priests in their robes give you deference for your holiness.
It’s the natural implication of downplaying the seriousness of something. Saying other countries suck too is not only what-about-ism, but is directly diluting the seriousness of the offense.
“Everybody does it” is classic children’s logic and a fallacy.
Again, I didn’t say it because I expect it to be the common interpretation. Why the fuck is everyone so confused by hedging against Poe’s Law?! Do you all fucking suck this badly at discussing nuance? Someone clarifies one thing and you’re… angry at them??
Good job failing to understand that this is not a conversation between me and you. I said what I said to avoid Poe’s Law. Just because you didn’t need the obvious stated does not mean everyone will avoid taking implications, even ones that aren’t strictly there.
If you think that’s unneccessary, then you should try having more conversations where you’re trying to get multiple people to understand something. You HAVE to be clear, or others WILL wander in to the weeds and take the completely wrong lesson from something.
Jokes on us: like police do all the time, if a judge wants to “find” such a fault - maybe by citing precedence from a thousand years ago? - then they will. Ofc there is no reason to make it easy on them.
There’s an agency near me that actually has the Magna Carta date on their patches. It’s humorous to think that many of them have no idea what it means.
Injustice Engoron says different rules for you plebs.

What a piece of shit system that cannot treat people equally… Fucking farce of a country.
While it’s very stark, I doubt you’ll find many countries treating their billionaires the same as their workers.
Having company doesn’t make it good or correct.
Did you miss the part where they are rich and connected thus better than us? /s

That’s not what the fucking “invisible hand” is! It’s what lots of idiots (not talking about you, just in general) think it is, but they’re wrong!

Who here said it was good or correct?

You’re putting words in my mouth so you can shit on a country on particular.
I think the statement is more of a “It’s difficult to avoid this problem” than an “it’s fine because everyone does it”

Fucking pathetic.
I think you are looking way too hard into it based on whatever preconceived issue you have.
Nothing you said has any baring on this particular issue.
Absolutely no one here has said what’s going on is good.

Hrm, don’t start giving them any IDEAS now… :-P
If Trump launched his fatass onto the bench like that guy in Vegas Engoron would apologize to him.
