The USA has only paid out about $4,966,561,110.65 in injury compensation. This is from the taxpayer not the companies themselves. It's impossibly to sue doctors thalidomide 99% of people were never awarded compensation.

Try to look past Boerbert’s idiocy for forgetting several states and territories.

Foreign Aid is a teaspoon of our budget. And Boebert is bringing it up so she doesn’t have to talk about Medicare, Social Security and Defense.

So where would you start?

Holmes, the former CEO of Theranos was convicted last year of defrauding the company's investors of more than $144 million. Holmes promised her startup could run tests on a small amount of blood that could detect serious medical conditions, at one point driving the company's valuation up to $10 billion. Those promises turned out to be false, and she was sentenced to 11 years in Federal prison.

She is trying to delay her prison sentence pending appeal on the basis that she has two young children.

Or if they come to two different conclusions, one of them must not be using reason properly? I think this can be applied to any issue.

Lawsuit disclosures are where the truth comes out. Can’t lie there or you lose instantly. So Fox News had to release a bunch of sht about how they’re full of sht. And also started a riot that got two cops killed.

Democrats, would you consider bailing me out... I lost some $ years back to my own bad decisions, and I could use that $ now. I'm not desperate, but I could use better lifestyle like everyone else. It doesn't make sense to me to call up the President and get a persional bailout... I'm not in a union.

Cost is $.01 each.

If it means in the future you can't afford bread, or eggs or pay your rent, it is what it is... I just want a fraction of a cent from every democrat. I ain't askin' much.

... just like the PRIVATE labor unions with poorly managed pension funds just got from everyone, regardless of their standard of living. You are paying for this like all prior bailouts and I just wonder, if you support it.

So why not bail out each other... it's cheap? How about if we all form into a union, and we bailout everyone?

I strongly suspect we need a LOT more bailouts when you look at the homeless and broke population.

And yes, I know the govt has bailed out banks, and investment companies, private investors, and such. It's disgusting, but I didn't approve those... crooked Republicans and Democrats. Bail me out, then I'll bail you out.

I am turned off by the fact a cop can issue me a citation for going 10 to 15 over just because he’s having a crappy day

Karen Calls Cops on Men for Shoveling Snow While Black

The list of things Karens call the cops for when it comes to Black people just keeps getting longer and more baffling. The latest addition to the list is shoveling snow. According to The Daily Beast, two Black men shoveled a lady’s sidewalk (for free) and she came outside threatening to call the police.

It’s kind of a routine thing to peek outside your window after a snow storm waiting for the boys with the shovels or snowplows to come offer their labor. Apparently, this Karen didn’t appreciate that help. Gregory McAdory and his friend have a snow removal business in Rockford, Illinois, per the report. The two had gone to shovel their friend’s driveway Feb 17th and afterwards they decided to move on to clear the sidewalk in front of the neighbor’s house. McAdory told The Daily Beast the owner of the house suddenly came outside fussing about their act of service.

On cue, he took a TikTok video showing the ridiculousness which captured the Karen pulling snow with her shovel back on to the freshly shoveled sidewalk.

“Are you seriously mad because we cleaned off your sidewalk? We’re helping you,” McAdory says behind the camera. The woman then throws her shovel on the ground and pulls out her phone appearing to call 911.

“They’ll come faster if you say there’s two n—gers over here,” McAdory says in the video. The woman proceeds to tell the police, “These guys are African American. I don’t get along with them.”

Here’s How Bryan Cranston Handles People Who Don’t Think Trump’s MAGA Slogan Is Racist

Actor Bryan Cranston explained to CNN’s Chris Wallace exactly why he believes Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan can be interpreted as racist.
Cranston first told Wallace over the weekend that it was “imperative” that critical race theory is taught in the United States and “that we look at our history much the same, I think, that Germany has looked at their history and involvement in the wars, I and II, and embrace.”

It was better to say, “This is where we went wrong. This is how it went wrong,” the actor suggested.
Cranston then turned to Trump’s rallying cry.

“When I see the ‘Make America Great Again,’ my comment is, ‘Do you accept that that could possibly be construed as a racist remark?’ And most people, a lot of people, go, ‘How could that be racist? Make America Great Again?’”

“I say, so, ‘Just ask yourself, from an African American experience, when was it ever great in America for the African American?’” he continued. ”‘When was it great?’ So, if you’re making it great again, it’s not including them.’”

Cost of billions along with millions of lives. How much should we fight with China if we confirm they let Covid escape one of their labs?
