I wasn’t commenting on what should morally or legally be. I’m just saying that if there’s, say, 1 million plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit it’s not realistic to expect 3 million dollars (minus attorneys fees) in each person’s bank account. That would be 3 trillion dollars, not including whatever punitive damages end up being. There’s a practical issue to be considered.
I thought the same thing for a moment, until I realized that’s for one person. Now imagine a similar class action lawsuit. Of course it’s not realistic to expect that dollar amount multiplied by that many people, but it could be a pretty significant dent.
Mmmk, better abandon this “money” experiment. Surprised it only lasted thousands of years, but I’m sure human nature will adapt

I suppose, but if you want to keep the nuance, the kid is a teenage girl, Jeremy is the boyfriend, and Jacob is hella gay and the parents have said they don’t care. One kid explicitly not having a condition (the second bill specifically said it’s not subject to those conditions) doesn’t mean the other magically went away
To my understanding (not saying I agree with it, just trying to make the logic understood for awareness)…
Congress passed a law allocating funding, but also requiring access for Congressional inspections without notice
More funding was later allocated, and it explicitly was not conditioned on access for inspections
Noem took that to mean allowing inspections without notice were no longer required, despite the initial funding with the requirement still being in place
Yeah, she believes in her cause far more than a shiny metal disk, which if given up the rest of the world will know what happened. Not like she was motivated by it, and it’s the only card she really has when dealing with the US military. Certainly not worth calling her a spineless… That.

First it was GPUs because crypto, then this. Wonder what useless thing the tech bros will cover up with in a few years!
Oh no!

The WHO hasn’t been RFK’ed, has it? I can’t keep the different organizations straight anymore. But also it’s not recommending beef tallow so I guess that’s a good sign.

Literally the first two paragraphs (hell, the first two sentences) of the article
Almost every month, Mr Cihan Citak gets into his car, passport in hand, and sets off from Istanbul to Alexandroupolis, a Greek seaside city 40km from the Turkish border.
After a roughly four-hour drive, he walks the crowded aisles of the local supermarket, filling his cart with wine, cheese and other groceries that cost a fraction of what they do back home.
He’s not starting from the border, he’s starting from Istanbul, which is not anywhere near the border.
40km from the border. 4 hours total each way
Not sure I agree with that. I’ll take an unexpected five bucks because of Red Bull’s false advertising that some ingredient doesn’t have literal energy (calories) to it. I wouldn’t start my own lawsuit over it, which may or may not be as successful. More importantly, every class action notice I’ve ever gotten had instructions to opt out and initiate my own legal action if I so choose. Also, if we’re talking about a class that includes thousands/millions of people, there are only so many lawyers involved in whatever specialty.
Tl;dr class actions penalize companies on behalf of those who wouldn’t realistically file their own lawsuit while still allowing those who would.
