While I generally agree with you, this case is literally an example of how the public’s outrage DOES matter and potentially changed the course of this case, regardless of the legality.

Most of the time it’s not as egregious as trying to use a free trial for streaming to force arbitration for wrongful death at an amusement park. I truly can’t imagine any world where this doesn’t blow up because it’s so outrageous.
I’m just confused how anyone thought this was a good idea to begin with. Surely the strong public backlash could have been easily anticipated.
It isn’t about having a bad taste from the past. Policy like this would further disenfranchise vulnerable populations present day. A barrier for entry like this is going to disproportionately impact lower income folks. Hard to study for a test like this when you’re busting your ass at 3 part time jobs trying to make ends meet. That’s not even to mention the inequality that exists within the education system between higher and lower income areas to begin with. “Our system failed you, so now you’re not qualified to vote. Cheers!”
Three guesses as to who this policy would affect more: white people or people of color?
They had him do that thing where you kneel on top of your shoes.
That drives me crazy and also the reviews who leave a confusing number of stars compared to their comment. “Best food I’ve ever had in my life, no complaints!” 3 out of 5 stars
Very Wes Anderson-y in a good way.
Mine won’t change sort views at all, just stuck on all: most comments. Haven’t tried interacting with it otherwise because I can’t get past the same posts I’ve seen a million times.
Was there no hardship exception where you were? That’s unreal. I’m pretty sure they asked at the beginning of the selection process when I served if anyone needed to be dismissed for financial hardship. I think they even used not being able to pay for food as an example of what meets the threshold for an actual hardship.
My trial ended up lasting about 3 weeks and I want to say my check was around $115 and included “mileage”… Lol. I was unemployed at the time, otherwise I would have been pissed. Definitely not doable for a lot of people.
His “tough guy” face is truly hilarious. He did it in his mug shot, too. He’s trying sooo fucking hard.
