Yeah, if it was just naked cash, no envelope, no wallet, no indication of who it belongs to?

If I lost money in that fashion, I know it is gone.

I give this about a 5% chance of being genuine.

Literally anyone could make that clip. Some guy on substack breaks the news? Didn’t cash in by selling it? No one else reporting it?

😮

Oh, they know you’re not a robot. They’re just having trouble tracking you.

Brb making this bot:

You’re now arguing over a claim you say you never made, while responding to a correction I gave to someone else’s hypothetical about pardons.

So either you misunderstood the original thread and jumped in sideways, or you’re walking it back now. Either way:

Pardons don’t cover HIPAA fines.

HIPAA is still law, even if enforcement is selective.

Doomerism isn’t analysis.

This isn’t dodgeball, it’s policy. Stay sharp or stay quiet.

You’re shifting the goalposts. The original claim was that a pardon would negate HIPAA fines, which it wouldn’t. Now you’re saying HHS won’t enforce the law – different argument entirely.

If you want to discuss regulatory capture or selective enforcement, fine – but let’s not pretend that means the law ceases to exist or that we should throw up our hands. That’s the kind of learned helplessness I’m pushing back on.

Again – sus doomerism. GTFO homie. I smell your camp from a mile the fuck away.

You can use Fibonacci to approx km/mi

300 km is like 200 mi.

(More like 180)

But still, approx works. 300 kmh is like 200 mph. Closer to 180 mph.

Not really. Pardons apply to criminal liability, not civil fines. HIPAA violations usually result in civil penalties. A pardon wouldn’t erase a regulatory fine from HHS. That’s not how pardons work.

I want to call your response out as doomerism, but I’ll allow you to retract the idea you put forth with the additional knowledge put forth here.

Getting sick of this “we’re fucked, there’s nothing we can do” sentiment everywhere I go on Lemmy. It’s sus AF at this point. It’s also contagious, which I believe is the point. So I certainly will never stand for it in response to anything I put out here.

Complex ideas often get boiled down into slang or jargon - shortcuts to describe something hard to articulate. When people connect with that shortcut, they reuse it. The process repeats.

Like in baseball - if there’s a runner on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, we just say the “bases are loaded.”

“Bases loaded” quickly conveys the full situation. That phrase caught on.

Caught on like what?

Like wildfire.

How did it spread?

Like wildfire. Wildfires spread fast, in every direction, and nothing really stops them. You could say it went viral.

Viral?

Yeah - viral.

Viral how?

Well… like a virus.

See?

That doesn’t nuillify HIPAA.

He’s like 70% of the value of the brand.

They can get rid of him but not survive without him.

They’ll get bought by Exxon Mobile or some shit if Elon leaves.

Found him…

So glad I have bets against the s&p 500 while this lunatic has his wannabe dictator spasms.

Give us more uncertainty you twat. It’s money in my pocket.

Oh great suddenly he’s grumpy.

Bro last night I was scrolling YouTube and I saw some 20 something dude with a toilet seat on his head just straight “skibidi dibidi dobidi doobidi” while bashing his head with toy school bus.

And there were like hundreds of people watching.

It was like an actual intergalactic TV channel from Rick and Morty.

Daria was on track.

That makes it so much more fun to hate his guts.

Cry about it you fuckhead.

Why is it?

It’s not as though an international bank gives a fuck.

The same way I can pull money from my international bank in Canada currently, I could as a refugee.

Yeah I say this living less than 30 mins from the border lol. The other response is not just out of touch of the relationship at the border but also not understanding how refugee status works.
