That always works sometimes!

Wake me up when there's a successful criminal prosecution. Bernie Madoff doesn't count: he targeted the wealthy.

and with this many divorces in flight... time dilation might make it 10 years.

EVE is the other woman. I swear she's *cough* i mean IT'S just a game...

Is this a metric or imperial shitton?

espionage: wrong when others do it, but it's ok when your side does it.

and assange, jerk though he is, isn't a US citizen. so what treason is there?

last i checked the UK still has a veto in the UN security council... so trouble making by ecuador will be... limited.

Hell, their people have lost control over their government and their government has lost control over its sovereignty to the EU. All the "savings" made by the austerity in the UK in the past few years have been eaten by the vast increases in the UK's mandated "contribution" to the EU. That means that the average joe there pays like they're getting socialist benefits while getting fewer and fewer of them. And the national debt there is still going the wrong direction.

no, but it is the King Missile car... i mean, given how cars frequently fulfill needs caused by napoleon complexes...

not to mention free radicals

if you'll recall, at the time of the crisis banks were able to immediately pass loans to third parties and off of their books and thus take almost no risk on the loans. Because of this, banks willfully turned a blind eye to all sorts of fraud, thus "liar loans", "no-doc loans", and "ninja loans". In so doing they certainly were not making underwriting decisions "consistent with safe and sound operation *at any level of the socio-economic spectrum* including that mandated by the CRA. Thus the CRA was a contributing factor, but it was one among many, including especially failure of the federal and state governments to enforce existing regulations.

The best part is that nothing has been structurally fixed with the regulatory structure. Elizabeth Warren got shoved out and the CFPA is a paper tiger as a result of the same politics. None of the "Too big to fail" entities were broken up after stabilization like we were promised would happen. Thus we can repeat history as soon as consumer sentiment becomes as enamored of debt as it was a few years ago.

You don't get to cherry pick your contributing factors, just as the other side doesn't get to.

l2auction.

i don't know if you were aware, but patent law has changed substantially for the worse in the last decade or two. since ground cars with four rubber wheels predates the current era of wealth extraction by crony capitalism, i think your strawman is pretty obvious.

and this is also why we'll never see flying cars. Damn the practicalities, no company could establish a respectable monopoly through patent lawfare.

I can't allow your patent suit to proceed.
