I strongly feel she has a case. Altman may not have violated criminal law, but he has used backdoor marketing, climbing on her shoulders to sell a product.

For example

The issue is Altman made it murky. If my name is Joe McDonald, I'm allowed to open a hamburger shop. What I can't do is purposefully confuse customers for my personal gain.

See below. I'm ironically calling out the ruling for CO who is not, apparently, according to their state laws, supposed to decide who is eligible to be on the ballot, because that would lead to a patchwork or whatever.

I've been thinking very similarly. They used to overcharge the poor to buy the cheapest version of something (low cost, low value option, or the medium cost, high value option)

Well these days you can just market only to rich people because they live in their own universe, and not even have to worry about poor people sullying your brand with their sticker shocker and the like. Targeted marketing and online sales means a new brand doesn't have to market to all people in a grocery aisle or whatever. They just make a luxury version of something. That's it. The economy has focused away from and abandoned the people with money. Ta da.

Follow up, maybe someone should make a community to share the best of newspaper advices columns?

I'm ironically pointing to SCOTUS saying that even if an insurrectionist cannot be president, and the state of Colorado has a law that the secretary of state must check eligibility, that Colorado cannot bar said insurrectionist, because reasons including a "patchwork" of the states and it must be Congress who makes this decision. I guess if the ballot in Georgia and Florida don't have identical candidates lists, that's a constitutional crisis?

And I know it's different but it's not really. Ohio just wants democrats to stay home so Brown loses.

Slate has a pretty good one called Dear Prudence. I used to enjoy NYT The Ethicist but haven't really read it frequently in years.

Remember when states were not just supposed to choose for the American people?

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you noob? I'll have you know I graduated top of my chess club, and I've been involved in numerous speed tournaments on lichess, and I have over 300 confirmed check mates. I am trained in white and black, and I'm the top puzzle solver in my freshman class. You are nothing to me but just another check mate. I will windmill you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before in this chess meet up, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of grandmaster over the former USSR and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your Elo. You're fucking lost, kid. My queen can be all over the board at anytime, and I can check mate you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my pawn. Not only am I extensively trained in check mate puzzles, but I have access to the entire arsenal of my side of the chess board and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass-pieces off the face of the board, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and your king and you will drown in it. You fucking lost, kiddo

Ahh a nice both sides-er!

I would leave a comment but I'll be busy (with a girl, you wouldn't understand)

I ran out of bullets. Should I make a new one with more?

It's pulled from a dumb shit post. But yes I could have updated YOU'RE to YOUR

You're welcome.

It's literally in the name. CAPITALism

We live in capitalism

Yeah that's part of the trade off
