After the mortgage crisis, congress passed a law saying credit agencies would now be liable for their ratings after they rated junk mortgage-backed securities AAA, and the day the law went into effect trading ground to a total loving halt because every agency said "you can't use our ratings anymore for your products!!!!" and the FCC had to step in and say "just kidding ignore that law"

"Jobs, however, publicly denied paternity after she was born, which led to a legal case. Even after a DNA paternity test established him as her father, he continued to deny it.

The founding of the Canadian Confederation was basically a con job and only happened because the Fathers of the Confederation were completely shitfaced.



Everyone in that picture is horribly hungover.

The maritime provinces tried to back out once they realized the horrible mistake that was Canada, but decided to stay on after John A MacDonald (our first prime minister, an alcoholic racist genocide-lover) promised them all kind of poo poo they needed. Most of these things, of course, never happened.

this reminded me that the US government installed secret tech in their embassy in order to spy on Germany in 1908.

"Prominent American celebrities have taken to YouTube to try and convince Republican Electoral College members to vote their conscience against President-elect Donald Trump...`As you know Mr. McMillan, our founding fathers built the electoral college to safeguard the American people from the dangers of a demagogue, and to ensure that the presidency only goes to someone who is, to an eminent degree, endowed with the requisite qualifications,` [Martin] Sheen says in the video...But the voter, whose full name is Ashley McMillan Hutchinson, is not Mr. McMillan. She’s a woman. And she’s the vice chairwoman of the Kansas Republican Party who wrote in The Wall Street Journal recently that 'I won’t violate the will of the people of Kansas simply because coastal elites think Mr. Trump tweets too much.'"

The whole point of what the TSA does at airports is to make sure the public doesn't stop buying airline tickets. For those of us who only fly irregularly if ever, it's making sure we believe no one could ever get anything harmful onto a plane by invasive and public searches. For frequent flyers it's letting them skip all that bullshit so they don't stop flying except when absolutely necessary.

If they can actually make things some degree safer while not compromising their primary mission, they'll probably do it, but if actually making flying safer was top priority, there's a lot that would be done differently.

literally 9/11 couldn't happen again because all airplanes have reinforced locked cockpit doors and yet....
