It'd probably involve a healthy bit of statistical analysis, basically measuring price increases against measured inflation rates and prosecuting anyone statistically outside the standard without a justifying factor like a different formulation for the product or significantly better quality to justify being more expensive.

As for what the punishment would be, I'd say either fining them twice the value of the excess profit, or forcing them to cut prices on all products to twice the margin they went over by until they've lost twice the value they effectively stole.

See that could be pretty easily achieved without eminent domain.

If you announced the program you'd probably have cities bidding against each other to host this department or that.

You'd probably have to create whole new departments just to appease cities and states that ended up not getting offices that you want to keep political capital with.

Establishing a Department of Language Accomodation in Queens would probably be the safe bet to test this kind of shenaniganery with.

Either all those YouTubers collected the check from Raid without even touching the thing or they make up 99% of the playerbase at this point and it's basically their best kept secret social club.

Conspiracy Theorist culture has been coopted by the evangelical right in the wake of shit like Watergate and Iran-Contra making a non-interfered-with conspiracy theorist culture seem too dangerous to the right to be allowed to persist.

Evidence being that if you go far enough down the rabbit holes of the looney theories we all like to make fun of, you'll inevitably find some evangelical nut preaching about how it has to be that way either because they believe it says so in the bible or because they believe it's a sign of the rapture which is surely happening within their lifetime, or often both.

It's like the most dangerous kind of conservative appropriation of counterculture narrative.

That'd have some pretty dark implications for the recent assassination attempts then.

It's one of those things that mostly works because there aren't many rich people.

Since crimes committed by rich folks are mostly white collar, they're rarely a danger to society if let back onto the streets.

It's one of those statistical solutions that doesn't really do enough thinking about why the statistics shake out that way.

That said, there is a gradient, rich folks can make bail for petty offenses but for violent ones judges may be inclined to just deny bail purely because the rich prick would be able to post it easily and the crime they're accused of warrants not letting them back out.

Probably only if that city was a new planned capitol like the CBC has suggested be developed on the Republican River.

See I could see this working if it weren't for the sheer number of data points you'd need to collect consistently to create a trainable model.

Most likely the weight difference would be the biggest issue here.

Same reason why to scale bug wings wouldn't let you fly, that square cube law can lead to some very unfun conclusions where big beasties are concerned.

Or some absolutely terrifying ones in Shin Godzilla's case.

Thanks I hate it.

Being economically fucked over doesn't make you not a racist dirtbag, especially when you keep voting for the racist dirtbags who have done nothing for you except validate racist dirtbag behavior.

Like seriously, it's pretty fucking hard to beat the racism allegations when that's literally the only possible draw the people you keep electing could possibly have.

These people vote against their own economic interests, and they see it as the price they pay to feel like they can defend saying the N-Word at the dinner table this thanksgiving.

Honestly I'd be more relieved that there isn't an ex in the picture she's tied to via the kid!

Got a bit interested in AAVE when I happened to end up as the token white guy in a D&I club that was literally entirely black women and one AFAB Black NB.

Felt like a kid getting a gold star sticker when one of them said I was understanding their stuff better than the assigned prof who was a literal trained expert on the stuff, mostly because they was a real jackass.

"Yeah you like that don't you, you slut!"

6 or 7, tried pegging with my GF, wasn't offended enough by the experience to turn down her being giddy about doing it again.

Mildly worried that she's buying something brand new specifically to use on me.

Probably by certifying intent beforehand and having them provide exit support so you can go to Iran and spend the rest of your life there out of reach of US retaliation, assuming a minimal willingness to hunt you down in a foreign nation.

Things would probably get complicated if the regime collapsed though, non zero chance those 80 million dollars would become useless as a new state tries to establish its own monetary policy, and that's assuming they aren't western friendly and decide to extradite you to curry favor.

I don't get why this was down voted, none of those points are asking much

You may have heard that the "Donut shaped universe" theory has been picking up some steam, well one particular version of the theory speculates that the universe exists cyclically, basically that the universe expands to heat death, eventually begins to contract again, and a new big bang occurs once it compressed all the way back down to singularity size.

Basically, it was never created, it always has and will be, we just exist in the pocket of time in which it's fresh off of the latest explosive rebound, relative to the scale of time in which the full cycle plays out that is.

What'd be more productive would be enforcing a reformed model.
