I want to see this variation of a zombie movie.

Patient zero is a prominent politician.

His handlers continue to puppet him, because they already spent so much on his campaign.

Followers literally line up to be bitten and infected.

Something tells me Bill is saying that publicly, then discreetly paying lobbyists to oppose such moves.

We found the Spiders Georg of liberal women.

But in all seriousness, how could a woman perceive the conservative agenda and NOT become more liberal in response?!

Oppression kink?

I want to toss the Type-2 phaser from Star Trek (circa 24th century) as my personal favorite. It has this design which reads as a tool more than a weapon, which I love.

If the big bang had never occurred, queer.af would never have died.

Ergo: big bang killed queer.af.

QED

Yeah. I'm tired of embarrassment every time I see my state mentioned in a news headline.

I don't like the implication. Riker always respected in consent.

Mr Fain added that the agreement included a 25% wage increase over the life of the contract, while lowest-paid temporary workers would see pay rises of more than 150% over the period.

The union also won the right to strike Ford over future plant closures, he said.

I don't know what their goals were, or what else this deal includes, but I honestly hope that's not "it".

25% raise over 4.5 years is about 5.6% annually. That's still less than inflation most years recently. Hope they also got other improvements to benefits or working conditions.

A big enough fine can cut the rich even harder than it can the poor.

I guess, in theory, but I've never seen that happen. And even if you did take more from them, it's only a "deeper cut" in the sense that they fell further to get to broke.

A $10k fine might be more than a poor person's entire net worth, forcing them into homelessness or extreme poverty.

I've never seen a billionaire forced to pay over 100% of their net worth in fines. Hell, I don't think I've ever seen a fine over $1B, except by a corporation.

Billionaires only go broke when they mismanage their own money. Jail time isn't even as big a threat if they are young, as they could well have more money when they come out, where any other Joe Schmo would come out broke and with limited job prospects.

Not paying is contempt of court

Yeah, but so was violating the gag order.

If he isn't jailed on a third strike, I'm done following this.

I decided a while ago that if I was a captain, my warp phrase would be Captain Tenneal's "Let's Go!" from MXC.

Just posting this comment to call "dibs!"

Two problems with that hypothesis.

1: Millionaire vs Billionaire.

2: Woman vs Man.
