“herp derp jerb creators deserve to be above the law!”
What our robber barons have convinced many to most Americans to believe to spin their greed disease into being somehow noble, and what those robber barons unreflectively believe about themselves.
There are developed nations, which we most certainly are not, that literally prorate vehicular fines as a percentage of income. We would never do that here, because this shithole, including tens of millions of self-hating, deluded fools, believe the person that exploits thousands of laborers for private profit deserves to risk your life doing 90 on main street on the basis of their successful exploitation.

The very definition of neo-liberalism: neo-feudalism. They can do whatever they want. Rules are for us, the serfs, not for them.
Is that as high as he can count?
…11, 12, 13, man, camera, tv, Putin….
For the filthy rich, the ONLY penalty is very often a fine, and it’s a very small one proportionate to the profit they made from the crime. It’s the cost of doing business.
The filthy rich only do jail time if they bilked other filthy rich people out of their money.
Rich people are far less likely to do time, because “the companies I own are responsible for other people’s livelihoods, you’d be punishing them as well” is generally accepted by most courts of law as a valid reason not to jail them. If they were less short-sighted they’d be treating the fact that the person had power and responsibilities as an aggravating circumstance and giving them longer sentences…
Oh so a first amendment violation as a law.
It actually sounds sane, but no, won’t pass 1A muster in any court.
The issue is whether that matters. Texas has always been a testbed for things like “can we just ignore the Constitution” and “can we just ignore court orders”.
Ahh JD’s true form!
You thoughtless person, where’s the disclaimer?! I dislocated a rib laughing at this
Well, have you said thank you once?
/s
😭
pweese say tank you
I would, but i don’t have the cards.
You just activated my trap card!
You’re right, where are my manners? Thanks for this wonderful gif.
I thought that was some sort of weird cyberpunk monocle 🙀
base fines on income as Finland does for traffic violations
The rich can always find ways around the law, including income-based fines. See the death of singer Kirsty McColl.
They can afford the best/worst lawyers
What does the average traffic violation set back the average person in Finland?
depends on their income
That’s not how averages work
average
Damn, from democracy to lèse-majesté in 100 months, congrats guys!
Days*
Oops, you’re right. 100 months will be the length of Trump’s second term.
Do you really think his body will hold out for that long?
Have you seen how long a Big Mac stays intact when left on a countertop?
Too bad I don’t live in Texas, and fuck you Texas, what are you going to do?
I live in Texas. I know what they want to do. And they cant. The answer to all this is that they are powerless. Continue on as normal and shit post to your heart’s content.
That’s the fun thing about the Internet. Volume beats quality. Amazon and tiktok are corporate proof of this fact. It takes a good damn army to make wikipedia barely functional, and since 4chan crashed, there is an actual apocalyptic army of degens with nothing but free time and bandwidth.
as a patron and contributor to the mind sink that is the Internet, they can never beat the valueless shit show of volume that our degenerate minds can contribute.
Carry on you worthless shitlords. Magnificent bastards every one. Do your worst.
Specific to the fine: unless it scales with net worth/income.
Also, fuck Republicans.
I bet Trump has other people pay fines for him. “Take it out of the special Russian account.”
It irks me when rich people will just pay the fine rather than following the law. Example: Parking in handicap spots and not caring about a $250 fine. It is like paying $5 parking fee for low income drivers.
Finland actually has speeding fines proportional to your income! In 2002, a Finnish millionaire was fined €103,000 (over $100,000 USD at the time) for going 75 km/h in a 50 km/h zone. (47mph in a 32mph zone)
Like the Tesla in New York City which has racked up $38,000 worth of parking tickets?
So if you are homeless, you can commit crimes for free?
Minimum sentencing.
Depends on the crime, but there have always been shit laws nobody enforces
If you are homeless, it costs almost nothing to park your Tesla in the handicapped space. Huge loophole.
Holy shit I didn’t know he was part of a gang
Lol. Have fun trying to enforce that while real crimes are happening.
Texas set to overtake Florida for America’s redheaded stepchild.
The trick is, they don’t really care about enforcing it - just having it as a potential charge to pursue when they hate someone.
This just in: Breathing is illegal. They’ll only bother prosecuting critics of Trump though.
As always with these laws, they are a tool designed to be used selectively against someone you already decided you don’t like.
Ms13 is everywhere they even alter images with their art department mspaint
Who are they going to pay to evaluate all the damn memes on the internet? What counts as alteration? Resizing, cropping, other basic photo manipulations that people use all the time? Has a politician ever used images of themselves without touch up?
