Billionaire power is corrosive to maturity; you can make everyone do what you want, so why find common ground or compromise when you can just throw a shitfit and demand that people agree that pineapple is tasty?
Just think, they could've spent this energy making WordPress not suck for Kubernetes deployments instead, but that's fine, we can settle for being told what to think and feel instead.

Can't wait for Google to add a required login checkbox that says "I accept that Jesus Christ is the one true Lord and Savior"...
And I'm being downvoted. Cute.
Keep em coming, kids. Nothing I've said is wrong.
All of the apartheid, none of the citizenship!
Can't wait to be called a dirty snowback in my own city by my American masters!
Kinda crazy how the Fallout Bible is looking like a prophecy minus the nukepunk tech
CEOs gathered around the table, telling spooky stories
"If you say his name in the mirror three times, he'll come for you!"
- Order his murder
- Pardon those responsible
- ???
- Profit?
Not advocating, just saying the "logic" of complete immunity plus his pardon powers means he can just make it go away, right? (This is why the idea of prosecutorial immunity is a terrible one.)
Single-payer, government run healthcare is protection for the people, and therefore, democracy.
Government is supposed to be the insurance company we all invest in to guarantee the continuation of civilization in a way that benefits us all.
Demand the end of private health insurance and eliminate biased access to medical care.
Frankly, I think everyone in New York City had better understand that if they convict this guy that they're next on the list.
Not that I'm happy about that, but forcing a guilty verdict here is just gonna throw their lives into turmoil, even if it's not something they want.
Trying to put a lid on this to maintain order is only going to give others the push they need to follow suit; the only way to handle this properly is to start passing laws banning the kinds of behavior these insurance companies continue to engage in (while simultaneously prosecuting the murder, because no one's going to weigh the specifics when they decide that it's open season on anyone that made them suffer).
And, of course, if the jury says not guilty, let it go.
There are ways to do it, most of them tracked to prevent the funding of terrorism and crime.
Bringing a suitcase full of cash into the country isn't going to work, either. They'll just seize it at the border.
You could always go to the effort to establish a charity, but I'm not a US citizen so I don't know enough about what's allowed or available with respect to what qualifies something to be a charity.
Maybe if you make it a "Christian" organization dedicated to providing legal defence to "wayward souls" or something?
Just be sure to do it via cash so they can't put you on a list.
Donation services and apps usually have clauses about not using the money for criminal defence, so they'll just refund it.
I'm glad they pressured the Liberal party into pushing universal dental through; that was a damn necessary change and no one should need to think of their teeth as "luxury bones". Still wish they'd had the balls to dissent on this, even if they didn't threaten anything over it, but I suspect it's because they don't see a problem with it either.
Shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic at this point.
