In Australia there are consumer protection laws that cover similar situations. If a product price scans differently at the checkout than displayed on the shelf, you get the product at whichever price is lower, or the business must cease selling the item until the price is corrected.
In addition there is a voluntary code of practice that the big supermarkets have signed onto which states that if the price scans higher at the checkout than shown on the shelf, the customer is entitled to receive the first of that item for free and any subsequent items at the lower price.
One of the big reasons is that GOP control congress atm. The jackasses who flouted their responsibilities and legal obligations to answer to congress (under this administration and Biden’s) have been republicans. They knew that Dems didn’t have the stomach and/or the numbers to prosecute them or hold them accountable for evading their responsibilities - so the repubs called to give evidence or testify in front of congress just did what they wanted with impunity.
Fauci is a persona non-grata with this administration and its party as a whole. Fauci knows he’ll be subjected to any and all prosecutorial avenues the GOP can utilise. I believe the thinking is this is the surest way to protect himself. His legal way to say nothing without lying, maintain his own ethics and morals, abide by the law and his obligations under it, and ensure he doesn’t give them one iota of ammo to use against him in future actions.
TL;DR: Fauci has integrity and believes in the rule of law.
The USA doesn’t recognise the ICC because they do not want their citizens to be subjected to it. There are quotes from senior officials and diplomats essentially saying that the USA agrees with the concept of the ICC but only for lawless countries where people who violate international law are unlikely to be held to account. Essentially it is a humdinger of an example of “rules for thee but not for me” creedo. The US hides behind its UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) as a panacea excusing it from subjecting itself to the rules it wants to enforce on the rest of the world. The argument is that the UCMJ is sufficient to enforce accountability and international law, and that the ICC is superfluous. It’s a tenuous argument at best and ultimately shelters the USDF from international accountability for their actions.
Did you mean, “for the misinformed like me” bud? Bone Apple Tea 👌
“This seat is taken” Forest Gump kids on the bus accent
Or “ok, but you’re gonna have to sit on my lap.”

You’re 10-ply there ain’t ya bud.
No. He’s a toroidal sphere, essentially pure asshole.

I think you’ll find they’re actually all jackdaws.
You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.
It’s not a leak, it’s VANDALISM!
Omg I just can’t keep my metaphorical mouth shut. The riddle was “what is 21 out of 42”. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Lindsey Graham’s funeral. You should see the video clip of this moment. The dude realising what he smells and making that face is priceless.
George isn’t at home - please leave a message at the beep.
I think you have your heroes confused: Dean Cain played Superman, Sigourney Weaver was in Alien.
