[01:17] IsambardPrince Someone could take them hostage. Then what do you do? [01:17] MinceR yeah, it also gets them out of their hair [01:17] IsambardPrince They could interrogate them, and they know a lot of stuff they don't want the public to know. [01:18] IsambardPrince They're a liability in retirement at any rate. [01:18] IsambardPrince Judges have to have a security detail in real life. [01:18] IsambardPrince Especially the high profile ones. [01:18] IsambardPrince They make a lot of decisions that give them an enemies list.

[02:16] IsambardPrince They said the interest alone will be a trillion dollars this year [02:17] IsambardPrince And the government might have to respond to lack of demand for Treasuries by "forcing institutions to hold more". [02:17] MinceR ah yes, good old fiscal conservatism [02:17] IsambardPrince Certainly nothing bad will come of forcing the large banks and insurance companies to hold worthless government debt.

[03:21] IsambardPrince First there's huge settlements, but then it dies down. [03:21] IsambardPrince Because corporate compliance gets with the program. [03:21] IsambardPrince And they start conforming to the law more often. [03:22] IsambardPrince Many corporations just assume the worst now, like that anyone might be in California for their Consumer Privacy Act. [03:22] IsambardPrince Or that anyone might be in Illinois because they lost $750 million on a BIPA settlement. [03:22] IsambardPrince I mean that settlement is small by the standards of how much money Facebook throws around. [03:23] IsambardPrince But it's a large loss because they committed a specific wrong.

[04:22] IsambardPrince It may be the State that put it there, but it goes into a company's database. [04:22] IsambardPrince It's not even just ICE. [04:22] IsambardPrince Texas has brought criminal charges for going to get an abortion in Illinois. [04:23] IsambardPrince And it was some Texas cop that searched our license plate readers. [04:23] IsambardPrince The State is very slowly responding to certain threats that ICE poses to the security of the State, within the bounds of what the State can legislate. [04:24] IsambardPrince There's a bill moving through the legislature to ban current or former ICE agents from being police officers in Illinois. [04:24] IsambardPrince The idea is they just get a job with the local police and share the data ICE isn't supposed to have. [04:24] IsambardPrince Or we'd get some violent nutcase that got into ICE with a felony record they didn't investigate and an AI resume. [04:24] IsambardPrince And those dangers are very real, but ICE is a threat no matter what we do. [04:25] IsambardPrince We have to do what we can. [04:25] IsambardPrince But they're always going to be a roving band of, I would say, marauders and barbarians.
