If they're not "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" they can't be held accountable for any crimes.

So uh... Congrats immigrants on being just as free as Donald Trump I guess?

Do the proponents of that really think that the power in that space wouldn't be held by what essentially amounts to digital currency warlords (anyone with a lever to apply power and the matching lack of morals to do so)?

Why do you think those proponents and digital warlords are separate people?

I mean, we can already quantify a floor of $44 billion. So he spent at least that much buying his way into the White House.

Okay, so think about it like this:

Suppose your job is making wooden chairs. It's takes you the exact same skills to make a wooden chair to sell for profit, as it does to make a wooden chair to donate to a chairless children's charity, right? So why would you spend all your time and skills doing a job that's eventually going to bankrupt you? While you might do a few chairs because you feel like it's morally right, the bulk of your work is going to be selling chairs because that's how you sustain yourself.

CEOs are in the same situation. A 500-person for-profit company takes the exact same skill set to run as a 500-person non-profit. So the reality is that non-profits need to either be competitive in pay with for-profits, or they have to be attractive in ways other than compensation so they can entice CEOs to work for them.

Now, none of that is to say that the scale of CEO compensation is appropriate, because it's not. But that's the calculus a non-profit has to make.

Whether it does or not is irrelevant; what matters is the perception among executives that it does.

My dude, you're being hysterical. That's not gonna happen.

Gaetz withdrew, so you'll get charged by AG Pam Bondi.

the usual human reflexes are conservatism

Like voting in to power the people causing the economic and environmental issues. It's absolutely mind-boggling how easy humans can be convinced to vote against their own interests.

No, I have the 13. Although I'm not in front of it right now, so I could be misremembering.

Framework laptops do this- and the switch that kills the camera also slides a shutter over the lens as well.

So that's a fun question:

Can the right's motivational spite overcome its immense racism?

Incompetent Reichstag fire?
