If the US is stupid enough to elect this idiot a second time, then we deserve to become the banana republic ...

People are not being sentenced when they are 0 years old, so it doesn't make much sense comparing those numbers.

I doubt airplanes heat up as much or more than cars, the window to fuselage/coachwork ratio is different. (still: must've been hot since someone felt it urgent enough to open an emergency exit, and others defended the action.)

So you're saying it's a 50/50 chance, eh?

Agreed. I'm just wondering how this even works in practice. Bayer's total assets are $125bn; If they poisoned ~1000 people, do they sell off all assets to pay the first 62 people and from the 63rd guy on they're all shit out of luck?

Or is this like those rulings where they give a murderer 6 times life in prison + 327 years (and 3 death sentences)? America has a weird judicial system.

Sure, if you shoot someone in the head from 20ft or accidentally drive a rod in someone's brain that might occasionally be a survivable event. But if you aim from closeby, with the intent of ending someones life? Chances of survival are slim to none. (With a mercy shot being an option if that's the case)

I'm vehemently against the death penalty, but there are about a thousand ways to do it 'better' than the US is doing right now (it just wouldn't be as neat/clean, which apparently is more important to the people in charge)

John Oliver was doing something like that around a piece about data brokers:

It was wonderful.
