Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative).

MODERATORS
There were lots of US stories about "oh, this lady got millions for spilling coffee on her" (with no mention of just how bad those burns were and how unreasonable the temperature settings on McDonald's coffee machines actually were. This spurned a bunch of laws and rulings that put limits on liability.
The refrain of "they just wanted money" resonated with people. People who don't recognize that punishing companies on their balance sheet is often the only method capitalism offered to ever rectify these things.
So what I'm saying is, Luigi did nothing wrong.
Yeah, from now on, if anyone negatively speaks of the victim of McDonald's boiling hot coffee, I just say this, "two words: fused labia".
Either they are too stupid to understand and therefore not worth my time, or they understand and are horrified.
Free Luigi.
Guillotine the rich.
Boiling water should be about 100 degrees C, no?
