    Wasn’t this man fined a gazillion dollars? How is he still able to say things and have me hear about them?

      He’s currently in the process of having all his assets auctioned off to pay a small fraction of what he owes. Unfortunately the most valuable thing he has is his audience, and he couldn’t auction them away if he wanted to.

      He’ll be in enormous, inescapable debt for the rest of his life, but he’ll always have thousands of people willing to listen to him.

        Dang. It’s like he’s using an asset to lessen the impact of a legal penalty. If only there were some form of legal penalty that were equally impactful on all people regardless of how well-resourced they were.

        Dang. They could be so useful, e.g. as landfill.

      After eating ourselves into a heart condition, the nation’s favorite pastime is making stupid people famous.
