  1. No I wasn't, but no one is going to incorporate in a state with that in their corporate laws. In Delaware and the places that matter, I am unaware of any judicial or legislative erosion of the business judgment rule. One reality though is that "entrepreneurial" lawyers bring a shareholder class action any time the share price drops more than a few percentage points and it can be connected in the vaguest way to a securities law violation or breach of fiduciary duty. Unfortunately, those things are expensive to defend/settle and may give rise to some more arguments that anything that isn't this quarter's share price is an invalid consideration, practically if not legally speaking. Even Marty fuckin Lipton is in favor of an expanded business judgment rule/diluted shareholder value duty. https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2019/08/24/stakeholder-governance-and-the-fiduciary-duties-of-directors/
  2. Yeah, I saw something about that. A temporary victory, for now, as it's just stayed pending appeal. That legislation is under assault from numerous quarters, including the governor and some legislators, so I don't think it's going to have any impact on Willis or anyone else for quite some time.
  3. I mean the problem is that the lege and governor are perfectly content that nearly a million children in this state can't afford healthcare unless there's a federal emergency that mandates and pays for it.
  4. The legal system probably ought to, as far as detention goes. Gag orders are another matter. Our pretrial detention/bail system is rudderless right now for the most part, but it's probably operating for Trump how it ought to operate for everyone. Pretrial detention should be the exception, rather than the rule, for definable flight risks and seriously mentally ill or otherwise incorrigibly violent. But once you skip bail, or do a real crime while on bail, that's it.
  5. Bail is to secure attendance at trials and hearings. The rest of it is mostly bullshit, pre-conviction pre-crime. If someone is to be detained on grounds other than flight risk, they need to be a drooling, incorrigible violent criminal. That's how bail should work, anyway. Not how it often does.
  6. No it wouldn't. Not legally. That's a smokescreen for being socially and politically irresponsible.
  7. Trump's "bail" has worked how bail really should work. Is he really a flight risk? No. Is he so violent as to pose an imminent threat to the community? No. Of course for a variety of reasons, the bail decision now takes into account a lot of frankly bullshit factors that keep people behind bars to destroy their lives and hamper their defense/coerce a plea bargain. It's straight-up pre-conviction punishment, no more, no less.
  8. Once you establish yourself as a flight risk, nay, a flat-out bail jumper, there's no more benefit of the doubt. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, do not stump the Iowa Caucus. Go. Directly. To. Jail.
  9. Well, he obviously doesn't have the same kind of pre-trial restrictions as an ordinary Joe. Largely because he doesn't pose a flight risk. And if he flees, who gives a fuck? That might be the best possible outcome. If he doesn't get extradited back, yay. If he does, he goes directly to jail, yay.
  10. This group seemed to develop nicely under Sark and played quite well. I still wonder if they weren't a little broken-brained for some reason, Herman most likely. I think something was wrong with this team psychologically and couldn't quite get used to winning, except here toward the end.
  11. So, are we thinking Norvell is the real deal? One of the better G5 hires? Or jury still out?
  12. It's come up a few times, but I think curiosity is really the key. That usually implies an interest in what's going on and why. A lot of people of #bothsides lack much interest. And some have interest coupled with complete credulity, especially when what their being told fits their world view.
  13. Yeah, as much as one can detect irony in a football stadium on tv, that sounded pretty ironic.
  14. Maybe, just maybe, we needed to get rid of Herman's players. God love em.
  15. Welp, he didn't fix the redzone hilarity.
  16. I'm really thinking not having much of a lead at half last week exorcized some demons. Not all of them, but some.
  17. I think he is exceptionally afraid of taking a hit, with the injury. He's never really good, but now he can't/won't take off and I think is more skittish than usual. When he's been having a very clean pocket, he's been pretty on fire.
  18. And I think he was trying to avold the closing defenders so he had a clean catch.
  19. Don't think I have ever seen Ewers do this. Every throw is on and he's stepping into them, or as close as he can come. Whoops, there's a backfooter for his first incompletion.
  20. Red Zone TD after false start. What sorcery is this?
  21. We really don't have to belabor this any more.
  22. Of course she can, but while we are wildly speculating, why don't we look at what is actually happening.
  23. Yeah, similar to psych meds, anti-convulsants often aren't very well understood and it can be very trial and error trying to find one or a combination that is effective. And they require lengthy "titration" periods. I think the surgery referred to is something with the vagus nerve that seems to be effective for many. Texas is probably one of the worst states to live in for this kind of thing, both the social services aspect and the medical aspect.
  24. Riley Gaines is/was a mediocre swimmer at Kentucky of all places that has made her bones bitching about the Penn trans swimmer, after tying her for 5th in the 200 freestyle.
