Reply to Rep. Eastman sparks outrage after asking about the potential economic benefits of the deaths of abused Alaska children by HoboWithAComputer
Christ, I saw the headline, and kind of assumed that there must be missing context and he was actually saying something callous but not psychotic, but like... What the fuck?
He's straight up asking if it isn't better that abused kids die as otherwise the government has to spend money to help them get over their abuse.
What kind of psychology does this guy have that that's even a question that passes through his mind?

Reply to comment by floridawhiteguy in TIL a special law in the UK was created to ensure that the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital will forever be able to collect royalties from stage performances, audiobooks, book releases, etc. of Peter Pan in the UK. This is the only work with an 'exception' to copyright laws. by [deleted]
"what? The government is supporting a children's hospital with a patent to a children's story!? ARGH DAMN YOU BIG GOVERNMENT! WHEN WILL YOUR TYRANNY END?!" /s
shit man, I hope you missed an /s in your comment lol. The spirit of the law is to be Just (something that laws so often fail to be), and you know what, I consider this to be a pretty Just result.
