America’s legal system today

I want to practice law:
—You need a 4 year Bachelors, take the LSAT, then a 3 year JD, then pass the BAR, buy malpractice insurance, & total cost is ~$300K

I want to enforce the law:
—Here’s paid 13-week training & a gun

I want to write the law:
—No qualifications needed and a billionaire can buy you a seat

Solidarity with @[email protected] who went on strike today in protest of the company’s refusal to bargain a fair contract.

If the CEO of Starbucks can afford a super yacht with a helicopter pad, he can afford to meet the very reasonable demands of his unionized workers.

Tesla used faulty battery cooling system design for Model S in 2012, insiders say

In a rush to build the Model S, Tesla ignored the car's flawed battery cooling system design. And it's unclear when, if ever, the company fixed it.

NASA and other government agencies doing business with Musk should be thinking hard, right now, about what kind of person they're doing the public's business with.

Meanwhile, anyone who bought stock in Tesla during the past year should be cursing the name Musk.

There are many legitimate reasons to track Elon Musk's flight coordinates, for example to offer him ads more relevant to his interests

How do we protect this stuff? How do we stop news from being disappeared like a Chilean leftist under Pinochet?

There’s the Streisand Effect for you: A mystery buyer bought a Charlottesville weekly’s archives only to wipe them from the internet - apparently to erase several stories about rape allegations he faced in college. Now the Washington Post is writing about it. @mmasnick https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/12/14/hook-charlottesville-vanished-archive/
A newspaper vanished from the internet. Did someone pay to kill it?

The Hook, a Charlottesville weekly, closed in 2013 but web archives survived until 22,000 stories vanished in June. Speculation swirls around a mystery buyer.
