No, he’d still be prosecuted for stealing documents, interfering with an ejection, and plotting an insurrection.

Good thing for him that cheating at golf isn’t a crime. :lol:

My point exactly. And in the broader picture, end tables that fall apart aren’t as cost efficient as ones that hold up for decades. Not to mention the environmental, labor rights, and global trade ramifications. At some point you’re efficiently encouraging non-sustainability and rewarding bad buyin...

Re: Israel-Palestine Drama Thread

Why would you think otherwise? In general, yes, protesting is perfectly fine and should be allowed. I do think there has been some overreach on the side of folks trying to quell these protests. With that said, there also no doubt that there's either a good amount of antisemitism out there or also a...

Efficient for price and investment. The world is larger than the U.S. Short term gain doesn’t always mean efficiency in the long term. Efficient is also in the eye of the beholder, well, the consumer really. If I don't care that the end table falls apart quickly am I really being inefficient? It se...

What is the ROI? I’ve seen estimates as high as 7:1 for the original GI bill. An educated workforce increases productivity and innovation. Totally agree on smart consumers but that can be fixed.
