It has been an oligarchy for a long time. This has been studied and proven.

You are arguing from an emotional perspective, and also bulldozing in a handful of unrelated topics that you clearly need to rant about. I am not saying I necessarily disagree with you on the specifics, but I was commenting purely from a legal reasoning standpoint. That is a very specific and distinctive principle, or I should say, set thereof. I have heard your type of argument a thousand times, and I am not saying you are WRONG, but I am saying you are not speaking in terms of law, but that of emotional reaction.

It's fine, I don't want to argue with you.. My initial comment was one kind of discussion, and you're arguing an entirely different kind.

OK see maybe you need to go to school and learn how law works. You can't have punishments vary based on the merit of the victim.

Here it's Target, a rich company, somewhere else it's a private citizen being stolen from, or a small family business, or a charity. The punishment as a deterrent needs to be based on the act alone, and not your personal lack of sympathy for the victim.

Sorry but the real world doesn't treat law the way you seem to think.

Jeez. In that case it wasn’t someone poor just trying to get by, she was running a business. She sold the merchandise.

Does anyone else feel like 3 years is way too lenient? That kind of greedy shit should send the person away for like a decade.

Brave claims to be so anti-data mining yet they share stuff with Google. Ok at least a couple years ago when I read about the tests done that showed this, as well as some articles on an affiliation they have with Google.

I haven’t used Brave since then. It’s Firefox for me only.
