What happens if people on the right adopt that strategy?

You're moving the goal posts. You said:

The only people impacted were the “defrauded investors.

Definitely.

I don't know where you got that idea.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has decided that Theranos' Newark, California, facility poses "immediate jeopardy to patient safety."

In December 2013, a lab inspector found that the lab didn't meet the required standards for at least 10 different blood tests.

Despite the changes that Theranos implemented after the 2013 inspection, the company's California lab failed even the simplest of tests the next year. The company obtained "unsatisfactory" scores — 70 percent and 40 percent — for two blood typing tests in early 2014,

In April 2015, Theranos was caught once again skipping over a fundamental safety procedure, at a lab in Scottsdale, Arizona. Theranos couldn't produce data showing that its staff has tested the lab's commercial instruments before using them on customer samples,

What are they telling the people?

I'm not defending Abbott's operation.

Don’t get fooled into “it’s only human trafficking if it’s transporting for sex/profit”. It’s a much broader definition

I'll have to think about this. Thanks for responding.

I think it might qualify as human smuggling, but I'm not a lawyer.

Putting people onto a bus by use of force, fraud, or coercion, by itself, doesn't seem to meet the definition of trafficking.

Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act.

Am I wrong? What am I missing?

How can this be prosecuted as trafficking?

edit: Thank you everyone for all the responses. I appreciate it.

The article does a poor job of communicating what the case is about.

The questions presented: "Did the D.C. Circuit err in construing 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c) (“Witness, Victim, or Informant Tampering"). Which prohibits obstruction of congressional inquiries and investigations. to include acts unrelated to investigations and evidence?"[1]

I can't believe that people are still trying to cross the border there.

While Biden justified his Yemen strikes without congressional authorization, in 2020, when President Donald Trump was escalating hostilities with Iran, he was a staunch defender of the notion that Congress should be consulted before taking military action that could spark U.S. involvement in a regional war.

“Let’s be clear: Donald Trump does not have the authority to take us into war with Iran without Congressional approval,” Biden said on Twitter at the time. “A president should never take this nation to war without the informed consent of the American people.”

Hoist with his own petard, oof.

...did you read the article?

In October 2022, Ms Jones Doering was exonerated by a Hearing Officer who ordered her to be reinstated as a social studies teacher at Roosevelt Middle School, situated in an area populated with more than 50 per cent Black or African American residents.

I liked the hat in the first movie

Comparing the amoritization of paying off a loan to the amount of debt held.

Other than delivery services not doing background checks on drivers?

Are you worried that minors will be delivering alcohol for these companies or having the company deliver the alcohol to them?

Monthly payments depend on loan term and interest rates as well as principal. I don't think that is a good way to determine whether you can afford something.

Certainly need better training.

the bigger problems seem like legal liabilities from being so obviously easy to abuse by minors

You get carded for alcohol deliveries. It's not any less secure than buying alcohol at a grocery store.
