America’s legal system today

I want to practice law:
—You need a 4 year Bachelors, take the LSAT, then a 3 year JD, then pass the BAR, buy malpractice insurance, & total cost is ~$300K

I want to enforce the law:
—Here’s paid 13-week training & a gun

I want to write the law:
—No qualifications needed and a billionaire can buy you a seat

Coincidentally, a friend recently went to an ER in France. They spent all day there getting treated, were handed a month of antibiotics to take after for healing and let go.

The entire bill was around $35.

We recently did an ER visit with four hours of observation, and everything was fine. A couple months later, the bills came up to around $1,200 for one ER visit with full family PPO insurance coverage at an in-network hospital.

BOSS: Yeah, *on the box*. Don’t make me repeat myself. Idiots.

The day the Fraser Institute died.

Don’t ask, don’t tell, only it’s how many donuts you ate for breakfast.

You know what I want social media for? To tell people their projects rock. Made a cool diorama? I support it. Great woodworking project? F*** yeah. Garden's looking good? Great job, friend. Painting turned out how you wanted it? Or close? Love it. That's what makes me happy. Telling you the things that make you happy rock.

"On Tuesday, the premier said “regarding my family matters, my family is separate from the political process. They aren’t involved.”

However, the reception seating chart shows crossover between the peprsonal and political in Ford’s Ontario that extends beyond developers, to provincial appointees and to those who occupy positions aimed at influencing government. The premier’s office did not respond to requests for comment for this story."

It's worth mentioning that #JordanPeterson is one of the top voices in Canada for the #FarRight #15MinuteCities conspiracy/fever dream. Here he is finding #Tyranny in the toilet. You fools. You laughably ridiculous fools.

AI gives me the creeps. Not because it might want to murder us all. Just because it might want to read us its bad poetry.
