This, and the rest of the generous things she did are why Dolly Parton wasn't a billionaire. If billionaires would just give a fraction of their wealth, they would still have more than they & their family could spend, and be loved by others.

Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 558 U.S. 310 (2010), is a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court about campaign finance law, in which the Court held that laws restricting the political spending of corporations and labor unions are inconsistent with the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Citizens United in a 5-4 decision, with Justice Anthony Kennedy writing the majority opinion. All Democratic-appointed justices dissented.

I am not a lawyer but as I understand the issue the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that money = speech, and since there is no point at which an authority can say "You've spoken long enough", there is no point at which an authority can say "You've spent enough." In public city council meetings people do get arrested if they speak considerably longer than the allowed time limit.

I'm having the same issue. I didn't have a captcha when I signed in from the web client or Blorp.

I also want this on booty shorts and I want it on T-shirts and caps and mugs. OP is right. Getting it on Amazon might at least get the issue more recognition.

He was born in 1898. The idea of digitizing information didn't really exist, much less the jpeg standard. I'say his mother was very creative.

I would actually like to see something like this for every major corporation. Make the CEO of Microsoft use Copilot and Outlook and Word on the lowest spec machine that Windows is technically rated for. Make the CEOs of HP and Dell use their lowest spec laptops. Make the CEO of Campbell's soup eat their cheapest soup for a week.

If they fail to accomplish the set task in a reasonable time, they go to jail and the company gets a major fine. My guess is that product quality improves rapidly.
