It looks like there were a few raids in California today. The reporting is really unclear - does anyone know if they are targeting specific people or just rando grabbing people (including citizens)?
This lady probably didn't get a promotion because she has the kind of personal disposition that would cause her to sue for not getting a promotion. Who wouldn't just go get a different, better job elsewhere?
I love this quote about the breakdown of obligations in America. It's not a direction I want to go, but it does seem to be the direction we are headed:
In America, everyone does whatever they want, society did break down, it’s terrible, and it’s great! You only look out for number one, scream at whoever disagrees with you, there are no bees because they all died, and if you need surgery you just beg for money on the internet. It's the perfect system!
I mean, they tried to enshrine what they believed to be inherent into law. It is literally the opening of the declaration of independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
It is a philosophical debate that continues to this day. But most philophies think there are some obligations somewhere. There's even a whole Tav show dedicated to the discussion (the Good Place).
Yeah, like a Frisbee. 😉
