Reasons depend on the person. Of course it's a giant mix of what everyone has written already.

Remember that the billionaires want more money and power. They love to use discrimination to get regular folk to fight against each other, while they get even richer. For example, the immigration prisons, those are privately run, right? Free money. Musk's Starlink contracts with the feds? Free money.

The rich will always find shady ways to get richer. Usually it's really obvious, if you stop and look for it. Many of them are also racist and sexist, and some are nazis.

No. Not really. That depends on the tax rates, my friend.

Now now. Don't blame women.

You're making a legal claim, and that claim that should be examined closely in court to establish its veracity. For example, I disagree with your analysis. I think that everyone understands what's actually being offered: money for a vote. I think that a jury could convict, and that there is probable cause to arrest and charge right now.

And the reasoning is quite simple, right? You want to give money for the vote but you know that would be illegal so instead you say something that's almost the same as the vote and then wink a few times. Everyone has communicated clearly. Everyone knows exactly what they're supposed to do, and why. Just because you wrote down some words cleverly on paper doesn't change the causes or effects.

But that's my opinion, and I'm not a judge in that state. Neither are you. Neither are any of us here in the comment section. That's why it ought to go before a judge in that state.

And risk your own personal safety? That's a terrible idea.

It was that plus a lot of other things.

I think you've argued against yourself. If the point is that perception matters, then death penalty makes him a martyr if convicted. The point is that the actual punishment matters, then either one has a chilling effect on going around and doing that kind of thing.

What's certainly true is that calling for his death now only highlights the horror of our country's inability or unwillingness to lock up corporate executives who kill countless Americans every day. It doesn't take a genius to see the blatant inconsistency there, to see that rich and powerful killers are protecting their own.

The judges need to get their act together. We all see the playbook, they all see the playbook. If the judicial branch wants to have any value in six months, it needs to issue Temporary Restraining Orders and lock up people who ignore them, and it needs to do this on the scale of days or weeks, not months.

Otherwise it's the same bullshit outcome. The judges rule in favor of the fired employees but it's too late to undo everything. As we always expected. Jesus fuck, sigh. What a legacy to leave behind.

Go back and look at what people actually said. Because you decided to change the topic and then blame them for being ignorant, and I think that's disrespectful to them and embarrassing for you.

Depends what you mean by "dox" of course. Definitions matter a lot here.

Yes. They need to move quickly. Public opinion is already shifting against Trump and Musk, and right now they are vulnerable.

I'm working on a website for high school writing (in English). If you want to take a look, and possibly offer feedback, feel free.

 

Here's Ozzy Man's critical analysis of Johnny Howard the Prime Minister buying back guns and crushin' them ay. It may have some relevance to current American events.

 

WINDER, GA—In the hours following a violent rampage in Georgia in which a lone attacker killed at least four individuals and injured nine others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Wednesday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place...

 

Can you think of any titles from real journal articles or essays that are eye-catching?

I'm writing a document for high school students taking an English writing class, and rather than create my own examples, why not use real ones? Several of my students have expressed frustration, and I have some guidelines and brainstorming tools, but what I don't have are two dozen neat examples.

 

OSAKA – An American man known for streaming provocative videos has been arrested on suspicion of breaking into a construction site in Osaka, police said Friday.

Ramsey Khalid Ismael, 23, known as "Johnny Somali" on YouTube, was arrested with another American, Jeremiah Dwane Branch, 24, who says he is a university student, according to police.

Ismael's videos include those in which he makes light of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and makes racist comments about Japanese people.

The two men allegedly made an unauthorized entry into a hotel construction site in Osaka's Chuo Ward on Aug. 30 with Branch filming a masked Ismael at the scene, according to the police.

They have told police they will not speak until they see lawyers, police said.
