But it isn’t just a business.
It’s every nuclear authority on the planet saying it’s safe.

Generally that’s just not true.
It’s dudes who are already abusive continuing to be abusive.
While pregnant women are less able to defend themselves, less able to run away, and have a greater chance of severe and potential injury.
The pregnancy plays more of a role in the abusive partner feeling the woman is being lazy for not doing the same tasks as quickly and increasing the frequency and severity of abuse as a result.

It wasn’t incompetence. It was corruption.
Just corruption to convict him not exonerate him.
You can much more subtly tank a case than this if that was the goal.

That’s so off base it’s hard to even describe you as wrong.

> For those who don’t know, “jury nullification” was supposed to be a sort of a check on the judicial system that allowed a jury to say “not guilty” when they thought the law was being unfairly applied.
That’s not true.
It’s a bug not a feature.
And this is arguably a case of jury nullification. Guy committed murder but gets off because someone in the jury likes cops despite them being guilty.
It’s like the filibuster, regards of noble and heroic it may seem it’s actually used 99% of the time to fuck over the public and help abuse the system not help it.

He was off duty and not convicted.
Union contracts can be amazing.
Can’t be fired for off duty behavior that didn’t lead to a conviction is unfortunately fairly standard in a lot of their contracts.
Imagine if unions weren’t just for shithead killers in this country.

Those “29 technologies” encompass like 99% of all weapons development since the 15th century.

Sledgehammers are a reference to the Wagner group filming themselves crushing a former members skull with one after they kidnapped him from Ukraine.
A representative of Wagner presented one covered in blood to a member European Parliament inside a violin case.

It’s possible and they mention in the article they have no background levels to compare it to.
Mainly because they have no idea where the soil came from other than it was somewhere near the derailment and has since been collected and moved offsite
