The Federal government is going to have to stop pretending this shit isn't happening and actually deal with Texas.
They're fomenting all the worst of America, and frankly, I'm tired of playing nice.
There is a reason Texas is rated only one lone star!
So literally a two tier court system. Great. Rules for thee and not for me personified.
We should have a two-tier court system: one for actual people who have rights, and one for corporate non-people who don't.
The problem with this isn't that it's two-tier, it's that the tiers are straight out of Bizarro-world and absolutely ass-backwards.
Why even have a court system? Is it for the illusion of a fair trial?
I mean, just create a bot that simply rules in favor of whomever gives it the most money.
Clarence Thomas does NOT apreciate you calling him a Bot!
Like I give a flying FUCK what he cares about.
Because he sure doesn't give a fuck about me.
That's what we already have
They are for the manufacturing of justifications to placate the population from turning their grievances into reductions of profits.
Corruption is bigger in Texas.

Nah. Arbitration uses a theoretically third party arbitrator.

This feels like a news report in a montage before a post-apocalyptic movie... Not sure it's that important, but it feels like something one might see.
According to Shadowrun lore, the next step is the Supreme Court allowing corporations to raise their own private armies.
And enforce their own private law on property they own.
The HOA would like to have a talk about the height of your grass and the color of the planters in front of your house.
Next up, we hope to hear about "Texas Democrats Reform Civilian Courts Ready to Do People's Bidding against Corporate Greed"
Texas Democrats can't do shit because they're in the minority.
Nah, just gerrymandered out of office
I meant in the legislature, but yeah.
No more judge shopping... Yaay...
I can hear Musk's little heart going "pitter-patter, pitter-patter" all the way from here on the east coast.
