Well now I’m just sad that our society and unbalanced laws can beat people down to the point that grifters get their last dollars and are able to convince them of crazy things like this.
I'd focus less on the laws being unbalanced. We have a lot of laws, but we didn't make them for no reason.
The part to focus on is that we've failed to give people the grounding they need to know how to engage with our government.
It's on them that they dug in so deep despite plenty of people saying "uh, that's bullshit", or choosing to ignore bad news, but it's on society that they didn't get the tools for not getting in trouble in the first place.
Plenty of people fuck out their lives and don't go off the deep end. So it's partly on them, but also we can do more to help people not fuck up their lives.
I agree. I guess the question is how to we fix the damage that’s been done since Regan
I don't think having to pay the amount you agreed to is an unbalanced law.
They're obviously going to take it back or else they are just giving you money for no reason.
I meant in the way that, laws are applied differently depending on what level lawyer you can afford, or if you’re a corporation that hires lobbyists.
Yes if you buy a car, you should pay for it.
I just meant the phrase “it’s expensive to be poor” comes to mind
