I didn’t say it was a good law. It just is one that exists. I of course think people are worth more than there financial output. There is also companionship, love and grief that are huge. But NYS has an outdated law that doesn’t value those things and people should know.

Lost wages for life plus the cost of replacing their non work service (parenting, cooking, house cleaning, gardening, befriending home/car repair) so many activities must be added to make an accounting of a person's value accurate

I think it was the Lost one

I don't understand this aspect of the system at all. Dead is dead. If there are separate payouts or penalties associated with suffering they should be automatically applied if the victim dies. You can't know the experience of the person BECAUSE they're dead. That should negate any argument against it. You know what's worse than temporary suffering? DEATH.

Time-frame actually matters. Cornrows weren't a mainstream normal thing. Those that wore them typically were gang members or not on a successful life track.
Totally reasonable for his mom to say no to the hairstyle back then. Of course how she said no might not have been the best way but hey pain in the ass teens can bring the worse out of people.

He's either Czech or Slovakian based on the name.

That makes me so jealous. Those police officers were courteous, polite, and didn't do anything to escalate the situation.

Could you guys send over your police training methods and also the metric system. We could use both. Thanks!

Cuz she was always drunk during the occupation? And always told the Nazis where the Jews were hiding when asked?

“Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent”. Can’t help but feel this lesson was learned before. Not too long ago.

That's how litigation works, you can hire an expert witness to testify as to some part of the case (and your opponent can cross-examine them). For example, a car accident may have an auto mechanic testify as to the poor maintenance of the brakes that may have contributed to the crash.
As with all court witness testimony, it's up to the jury to decide whether to believe it or not.

Why would we listen to workplace/business advice from a failed business?

I read a Netherlands resistance fighter's wife taught their toddler to keep saying "papa dood" for whenever the Germans came to the house to look for him.
I also talked to a fellow about his parents' experiences under the occupation. It was quite brutal, and they weren't even soldiers.

Yeah but that doesn't explain why they chose the life of a criminal?

Hun, they’re making up excuses. But it doesn’t matter because they’re all out of a job now! (Or will be when the fed finishes selling off all their assets and winding them down).

Hell if I know. I’m just saying they’re not just saying poor decisions were the fault of simple workers working from home.

Was not sharing physical space really the reason they put a full half of their investments in long-term bonds?

As a person who lives next to MA, I hear this term a lot especially when driving. People from other areas might get a kick out of it. https://www.boston.com/community/travel/boston-com-readers-share-their-definition-of-a-masshole/

Not every cop has a gun in the UK so they actually try to deescalate
