Arbitrary discrimination. From the article:

> “The real estate agent can essentially screen out people they don't want by saying, ‘Oh, this person drives a Ford truck and I only want to sell to high end people so I'm just gonna get rid of this customer'”

> saying it would be unethical to only use Forewarn’s data to determine whom to work with. As part of her job, Hicks is responsible for ensuring the realtors she manages are as financially successful as possible.

So discrimination is ok because you know, we have to make as much money as possible

From the article:

> State troopers who found Paxton’s body in his overturned and partially submerged truck had said there were no barriers or warning signs along the washed-out roadway. He had driven off an unguarded edge and crashed about 20 feet below

> Juul (which is now majority owned by Altria) is the most reputable one

> Altria are a very legit operational business

Worth noting that Altria used be known as Philip Morris - a company that has decades of history of marketing cigarettes to children and covering up the dangers of tobacco.

They are in no way, shape, or form a "good" company.

Never trust an engineer who says they don't need to write tests. It's somewhat of a dream for many engineers to be heads down working alone on deep technical problems but while coding may be solo endeavor, _code maintenance_ is a team sport. It's never good to let someone go it alone for too long.

Side note: It's much simpler to say "they/them" when referring to someone rather than "he/she", "s:he", and "his/her".

You're rewording what they said. If any group of people is more policed than another group of people, said group is more likely to have a criminal record. Doesn't mean they're more "criminal" than any other group but more of a reflection on the current state of the criminal justice system.

To paraphrase Warren Buffet: "If a cop follows you for 500 miles, they're going to find a reason to give you a ticket."

Why did the three women not get arrested for filing false police reports? Especially for falsely claiming that the man had a gun. There have been many, many reports of what happens when the police arrive on scene thinking there's an armed person for these women to not know what could happen. Also, accusing someone of being a pedophile and participating in drive by shootings?
