    Kinda makes sense no? Corporations are people and are treated as such in courts.

    If people have death penalty, corporations should also have one

      Businesses have been sued out of business before. Not QUITE what you mean, but the ends still the same.

        And what was being pardoned:

        "In what may have been a first, Trump pardoned a corporation. The company to earn that distinction was a cryptocurrency exchange sentenced to a $100 million fine for violating an anti-money laundering law."

        Setting a precedent of excusing money laundering really does just feel like "I want to destroy the country" with not a whole lot else going on.

          Nuance is dead on social media.

          It isn't that bad, yet, on Lemmy but it gets to the point where people just scream past each other and because of things like default ranking comments by vote instead of a timeline whoever can get/bot the most votes wins and the other person is cast into the oblivion of "Click here to see more comments".

              This is some serious unprecedented bullshit. Especially when their charge was money laundering. Basically he is making money laundering legal. Go ahead and break the law. Trump will pardon you...

              At the end of his first term, Trump was selling pardons for $1,000,000. I wonder how much money he charges for a pardon now.

                I didn't either. But that was maybe because I was a long time subscriber...

                  Thank you! I immediately wondered if OP was a shill since s/he also didn't name the company in the title or summary.

                      There is no paywall. It does require you provide an email. Doesn't have to be a real email, just email format.

                        I did some testing. The form accepts anything in the format @.* so long as each * segment only contains appropriate characters. The domain itself doesn't need to be real, but the suffix needs to be real.

                        "[email protected]" works.

                            Add 12ft.io/ in front of the URL. It's a proxy that bypasses paywalls.

                              Yeah, fuck that. Extra unnecessary steps.

                                  Yes, the TLD. Wasn't really sure if most people would know what a top-level domain is.

                                        I've had much better luck with archive sites, but they can be slow.
