A place to share and discuss stories from The Onion, Clickhole, and other satire.
Great Satire Writing:
Maybe we can use this?
Since ~~bribery~~ gratuities are legal now, apparently, and the Supreme Court is legislating everything from the bench, maybe we can pool a sort of PAC and put together a prize sheet for different positive things we want. If they rule for those, they get the prize indicated. Kind of like the prizes you'd get for selling certain thresholds during school fundraisers.
Also kind of like the Criss Points system:
Even if all the peasant in US united and pitched in, out collective buying power would still NOT be enough v top 10% but like even top 1%
Think about that.
There's also the question of disposable income. Top X% have more wealth and income than us, and that excess is basically all disposable. Most of the income and "wealth" of the bottom of the economic ladder is tied up in survival needs, so it's even less of a possibility than at first glance.
astute analysis
But the bribe amounts have very little to do with how unfathomably rich the "donors" are! If you look at all those bribes, the amounts are still within the realm of what the 99% could put together.
But I don't even think it would cost the 99% that much, because it would force the 1% to up their game (in other words, there'd be bribe inflation) until the 99% can't follow suit, which means the 99% wouldn't even need to pay, in the end. But the higher price would make some bribers think twice, which might lead to less bribery happening.
Not about the SCOTUS, but there was a report a while back showing that many senators votes were purchased for only a few grand… we could probably swing that.
I'm guessing that's because the few grand we know about was the distraction. The real payment happened without us knowing about it.
This is more believable than the real shit this asshole has done.
How about a submarine ride by OceanGate?
I hear the Titanic is a must visit. Some very reasonable tours.
Some companies will even let you drive the sub!
Poor thing is titan of American jurisprudence but makes about same salary as 30 year old big tech developer...
I would be miffed too tbh
Maybe he should quit and find a higher paying job.
But the he wouldn't be a mullah :(
