Yes, because if there’s one thing we know about republicans, it’s that they love black people in positions of power, and are very magnanimous towards Dems.

He might suck for other reasons, but don’t pretend that those reasons alone aren’t enough.

He’s a Dem and not white. What more reason does the GOP need?

In some regards, the US is like this. Yes, the entire US is under one federal government. But you can freely move from state to state and be in an entirely different legal, cultural and social environment, not to mention the change in climate and geography. You can pick up today and move from Massachusetts to Texas and I promise you it will be like moving to a different country.

No, you literally are missing everything. This sentence alone tells me that:

>Diverting ENTIRELY from the fact that odds are good that the first number was accurate towards the damage caused.

Punitive damages aren’t meant to reflect compensation for damage cause. There is an entirely separate class of damages (compensatory damages) which deal with that and which are not covered by any sort of cap or by this judge’s decision. The sole, entire and exclusive province of punitive damages is to punish the tortfeasor, irrespective of the financial amount of damage they caused.

There aren’t many non-Western insurers, and for those that exist their insurance is often not considered sufficient/creditworthy by western ports where these ships could dock.

As a lawyer, I can say with 100% certainty that if there’s one thing human beings could do that would make a sentient AI think all humans should be exterminated, it would be involving that AI in the petty bullshit that makes up most of the disputes in the legal system.

In the US, we have multiple ones. Westlaw and Lexis are the two oldest and most prominent. They were originally print services, but went digital in the mid 1990s (maybe before). Bloomberg Law is now coming into the fray. All of those are pay services used by law firms and are typically fairly expensive. There are lower cost services like Fast Case, but the search ability isn’t as good as the more expensive services.

Lots of politicians absolutely will be once the war in Ukraine dies down. Some will be paid Russian puppets trying to drum up support for Russia in their home countries. Some will have constituents who want their business interests in Russia to re-normalize or to have access to Russian natural resources. But make no mistake: there will be a sizable chorus of people seeking a normalization of relations to the pre-2022 level.
