    Same for me. Getting a law degree.

    Read tens of thousands of pages. Hundreds and hundreds, probably thousands of cases, law review articles.

    Story after story of police and corporate America fucking poor people.

    In 2024 there are still companies arguing that asbestos is safe. Anything less than chattel slavery with strict runaway slave laws is insufficient for these psychos.

      That’s a really interesting perspective. Was that material you sought for personal reasons or a required part of your education? Any specialization involved, if the latter? (I’m pretty ignorant about y’all’s schooling)

        I have this eerie feeling that any large amount of legal documents is going to contain mostly stories of those with means fucking the rest of us.

          Me too, actually. Would be some (maybe a lot) work to get set up, but it’d be interesting to run ~all of it through some classifier / analytical models and find out.
