And it takes staggeringly little to bribe them. Barret is worth like 2.5 million. Clarence Thomas is worth like 2.1 million. These aren’t even rounding errors to actuall rich people. Hell, if I were a morally bankrupt sociopath with extensive insider trading information, and no consequences for my actions, like Thomas, I sure as hell would have made a LOT more money in the amount of time he’s been on the court.
Shell made 40 billion in profits in 2022. 100 million is one quarter of one percent of that. That’s what they couldn’t spare to even look like they were trying to help the environment. The things that should be done to these executives would probably get me banned from Lemmy if I said. Fuck these villainous asshats with broken glass.
My iPad Pro has a persistent number line. iPad Air does not. It’s maddening. I tried swiftkey and hated it. iOS also constantly botches my typing and it’s infuriating. That said, Android is not preferable IMO.

I don’t see what could possibly go wrong.
“Chief Justice John Roberts and other members of the court – as well as many Republicans on the Hill – have signaled that they believe that the justices can be trusted to police themselves on ethical issues.”
As is clearly supported by the evidence.
“The new report is the broadest look yet at how Thomas’ social circle has funded – with limited disclosure to the public – a regular stream of extravagant excursions and events since he became a Supreme Court justice. These costly trips and travel perks often went unreported on the justice’s financial disclosure forms, ProPublica said in its investigation.”
