Idk, I think the death penalty is a much more appropriate penalty for white collar criminals than most other things. The amount of misery people can cause for nothing more than a number on a bank account, usually by people who never lacked for anything and knew in advance what would happen? That's the sort of shit that can only be prevented when death to oneself is the penalty.

A pederast, a murderer, a rapist won't be deterred by the death penalty and there's no meaningful redress from their deaths. A banker who sees another banker get fucking fried? Bet you he starts behaving a little better for a good while.

Edit: and you better believe rule compliance becomes a priority if the head of your department can get in deep shit for any corruption done under their watch.

Idk how it's so difficult for westerners to understand that not all Muslims who consider themselves practicing Muslims observe all parts of the faith. There's so many Catholics who disregard lent, hardly anybody listens to the dietary restrictions, there's almost none who acknowledge Jesus' teachings on wealth. Do all Catholics choose not to use condoms? Do all of them have the same opinion on abortion?

But I do realize it's part of looking at the out-group as a monolith at best and a hive mind at worst.

And his hypertension couldn't have been helped by the fact that he worked long days in a nation ravaged by civil war and had just about the most stressful job of any head of state at the time

I like Adam Ragusea and have been watching him far longer than netshaq (and I've been watching netshaq from waaaay back) but I've never liked the ad integrations and he does tend to say very libby stuff. Not shading him or nothing, that's the YouTube model, but I appreciate Internet Shaquille for his dedication to pack as little fluff as possible into both his upload schedule and his videos and the clear messaging around sponsorships.

Everyone knows you have to go through the checks and balances and speedbumps because otherwise you're no better than those people who keep getting everything they want

Department of education says more than 5 million already defaulted, an additional 4 million in "late-stage delinquency".

“Borrowers will now be expected to repay their loans, and those who don’t will face involuntary collections,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Tuesday. “The government can and will collect federal student loan debt by withholding money from borrowers, tax refunds, federal pensions and even their wages.
