So there could be a few angles, all angles are you likely getting less for the convenience.

One angle is that the contract they offer gives them the right to back out and to sell the contract to someone else, typically refered to as wholesaling. Their goal is to offer you say $150k and attempt to sell it for $200k to someone else. And if that fails, they cancel the deal and walk away.

Another angle is they are a flipper and think they can make a profit regardless of the shape. They'll still do an inspection to make sure there isn't anything major.

If they reached out to you, their margin will be tighter because they want to be in the area. If you reached out to them, their margin will be larger because you might be desperate for cash.

If you talk to them, they will pressure you into signing a contract, but it would be worth it to find a real estate attorney to review the contract and be on your side.

It actually happens a lot, but it's not the judge who dismisses it, but the prosecutor's office.

There are plenty of times where the prosecutor pursues bogus charges to intimidate a citizen into taking a plea deal of a lesser charge. And if the citizen fights to go to a jury trial, the prosecutor will drop the charges so it can't go on record that they are clearly acting corruptly to protect their own.

Like this case where a citizen was arrested for calling a cop a dumbass and afterwards the prosecutor attempted to trump up the charges to aggravated assault and then dismissed charges like a week before his jury trial.

Often times, I think of movies or stories as the story teller as translating for the audience. You don't watch Troy and think it's odd the characters are speaking English.

It's acceptable to complain if the work is nonfiction and meant to be for education.

When a company sends fake phishing attempts, the links report back if they've been clicked. For them to get that report, their job would had to have sent it.

How else would they know she fell for the bait unless she actually did get phished months ago and their IT traced a recent attack back to her, in which they gave her training instead of firing her?

The immediacy of the follow up email indicates she was caught my a fake phishing attempt meant to catch employees before real attackers do.

And the question they never ask, is why is there a multi-year wait list? It's like what steam said about piracy. It's not a price issue, it's a service/availability issue.

If undocumented immigrants are a problem, then document them. No need to sneak in if they can just walk through the port of entry and get a job.

So I guess they don't like that over 90% of immigrants return for their court hearing, so if they make it so ICE detains and deport people who return for their hearings, that percentage will go down and it's another propaganda point that catch and release is a failure.

Can you link me one time the government made a change google didn't agree with, google continued operating as normal against the change, and challenged that change in court? That change being anything other than a new regulation that attempted to restrict some aspect of Google's business?

The only thing I'm able to find is essentially anti-trust lawsuits related to google search being the default in iOS and Android. I'm basically looking for any legal challenge google "resisted" for some societal good.

(Edit: this isn't like a challenge to your argument, I would just like to be better informed to see if google actually has partook in some sort of activism against the government other than fighting to continue their terrible business practices)
