Gonna say something that will definitely get screen capped and used to doxx me someday but like having a fetish isn’t. It isn’t evil. You know? People have fetishes. It’s part of the human condition. You’re not a serial killer just because you’re unusually and offputtingly hype about women’s shoes. Thought crime isn’t real and it especially shouldn’t be applied to fetishes. Every human brain is a diy project built by unlicensed electricians.
I think sometimes people forget that the gov is the corporations’ bitch, not the other way round.
I really hate this shitty ‘doom-and-gloom/everyone’s corrupt/there will never justice’ mindset.
According to L.A. City Controller Kenneth Mejia, they fined Universal as much as they possibly could as permitted by law, but “outdated laws limit fine amounts and aren’t equitable across offenders, especially big corporations.” [X]
The problem is how the laws are written, which can be amended.
This isn’t the fault of some deep corruption in the LA government that had them taking money under the table to avoid fining Universal or something.
additionally! it kept the strikes in the public conscious! in a way that was favorable to the strikers, even! a way to keep people angry and morale higher without anyone dying! obviously the fine was disappointingly small but it isnt like $250 is the only consequence
