Business: "I'd like to buy paper."

Wholesaler: "That's $x per team."

Business: "The market price has gone up. That means people don't want to sell paper anymore!"

THAT'S HOW YOU SOUND, OUT OF TOUCH WHINERS

Because law enforcement has always existed to serve and protect corporate interests. I'm old and not trying to be edgy. It's just so. The things they do that seem like protecting people are only doing so to maintain order but ultimately everything they actually do is in the name of maintaining private profit.

Fucking thank you. It's completely asinine to decry food that has "gone through a process". What's a good number of processes? Three? Seven?

> Terrible case but how is $261 million dollars a valid amount for anything.

You determine how much money the defendant has and devise an amount that will actually matter to them.

>How do you even get to an astronomical figure like that when even the people that caused the financial crises of 2008 got charged a fraction of that.

Completely irrelevant.
