  • You know what the difference is between a million dollars and a billion dollars?

    A billion dollars.

    Those who make $200k have more in common with people in poverty than people who are billionaires.

    I make good money but I am not under any illusion that a bad accident or a medical issue will wipe out my savings in a heartbeat. Just because I can afford to go on vacation doesn’t mean that I don’t understand what it means to be “working class”.

    I am working class and their ally. All you’re doing is intentionally creating a wedge between “well off” people and the poor instead of coalescing together to attack the actual capital class.















  • Subpoenas, generally speaking, do not require a signature of a judge and aren’t subject to the same scrutiny as a warrant.

    Subpoenas are issued against third parties (in this case Google) to compel the release of information. Google can fight the subpoena in court, but they generally don’t.

    The enforceability only comes if Google decided not to comply, at which point they could offer to sell the information to the government or a judge ruled that Google must comply.

    Again, most companies comply because they often lack the incentive to not comply.
