Can you expand more on the court laws of Delaware and California?

Delaware in particular is very business-friendly in terms of law. Many businesses in the US incorporate in Delaware specifically due to how friendly the law is to their interests, usually to the detriment of the consumer.

I used to work for a Delaware-based company. It had no employee from the US, we worked from one of the cheaper eastern Europe countries, the only person who lived in the US was CEO's wife.

moody got the main point of it, but there's lots of shady shit in delaware when it comes to law. it's the main home of patent trolls, for one. there was a, i think, vice documentary some years ago where they went around a huge office building with nobody in it, every door had like five company names on it; they just needed an office in that jurisdiction to be able to do legal proceedings there. because the district attorney and judge were father and son.

Not just patent trolls, most US corporations (at least every non boutique tech company I've worked for over the past 20 years) are incorporated in Delaware.

Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
