It wasn't anyone he cares about that got murdered. He doesn't figure "de Guzman" will come up with $7 million, and even if he does, and runs, because he's an obvious cartel member, the government profits $7 million and never even has to see the guy again, because he ran across the border. Basically, as long as the government gets $7 million out of this, it could care less if they ever see the guy again. That [00:58] DaemonFC effectively makes the murder legal for paying the court a fee. [00:59] DaemonFC Sadly, the government does see "justice" as a cost vs. expense ratio. If you can afford to pay the court a massive fine, you usually do get a lighter sentence, maybe lighter charges. If you can't, rot in jail for all they care. It's a system set up so that if the wealthy want to dig into their pocketbook, they can get away with some pretty nasty stuff.

[01:00] DaemonFC They rape little girls (and boys) pretty openly on an island somewhere. All the right palms are greased. [01:01] DaemonFC They control the judges, the prosecutors, the police. They'll never get charged with anything, and even if they do they have more than enough money to make sure they can severely pervert the course of justice. [01:01] DaemonFC If you're poor, don't even LOOK at a police officer wrong. [01:01] DaemonFC And that's just how it is in America. [01:02] DaemonFC Even if they charged Bill Gates with something over having Rick Jones trafficking in child smut, what would happen? [01:02] DaemonFC Well, he'd have a fleet of lawyers, and not just a fleet of lawyers, the best lawyers. [01:02] DaemonFC He probably gave a lot of money to the prosecutor's election fund. [01:02] DaemonFC The judge is probably a golf buddy. [01:03] DaemonFC And if anything did come out of this, we're not talking about any prison time, so the worst thing that could happen is electronic monitoring in his own home where he can do anything he wants forever because he'd never need to apply for a job or make another dollar from anything. [01:03] DaemonFC This is exactly the kind of shit that Pablo Escobar got away with. [01:03] DaemonFC Even when the government was FORCED to do something about him, it didn't do much. [01:04] DaemonFC He got to design a mansion and call it a prison, hire his own guards who let him do whatever he wanted, and continue to run his criminal enterprise as if nothing had happened. [01:04] DaemonFC And he had a tunnel so he could come and go and nobody would ever know he wasn't there. [01:06] DaemonFC Ah, prison, I'd know it anywhere. MinceR Do they usually have a $15,000 bed and hookers in prison? [01:06] DaemonFC Wow, everyone should try prison! [01:06] DaemonFC The food is excellent with a personal chef, in prison. [01:07] DaemonFC The really outrageous thing was that the United States had the capability, even then, to kill Escobar, and there was nothing much the government there could do to retaliate. [01:08] DaemonFC If this guy was really wanted by the US that badly, it could have done a cruise missile strike on this "prison" and left nobody there alive.

[07:22] DaemonFC Not only do they win if you keep playing the game, but they win if you become wary of it and think the solution is buying a protection plan from them for everything. [07:22] DaemonFC Not everything you buy breaks down real fast, but a lot of it does. [07:23] DaemonFC But it's like, why would you buy a $30 protection plan on a $60 coffee maker? [07:23] DaemonFC You have to use the manufacturer warranty in the first year. [07:23] DaemonFC And if it goes a year, it'll probably make it until just outside the second year [07:24] DaemonFC There's this statistics thing. If it happens in the first year, it's not their problem and they don't have to help you. [07:24] DaemonFC And if it happens after a year, it'll probably be in the 3rd year. [07:24] DaemonFC So they sell a plan that only obligates them to do something in the least risky period of ownership, if you keep your papers. [07:25] DaemonFC Then if they don't carry that model, they have the option to store credit you.

[07:28] DaemonFC The store manager store used them and put some in the break rooms. [07:29] DaemonFC You could put food in there as long as you wanted and it was basically frozen solid at the end of your lunch hour. [07:29] DaemonFC So you had to have something that didn't need heated. [07:29] DaemonFC And they had endcaps full of the things.

[07:31] schestowitz the sunday market sells many of those capsules [07:31] schestowitz but i never compared prices [07:31] DaemonFC But people are dumb enough to buy them brand new and then pay for the pods.

[07:33] schestowitz technical and litigious means [07:33] DaemonFC You're talking 15 cents of coffee at most if you bought it in a can. [07:33] schestowitz what if you put some coffee on those pods and put them back in? [07:33] DaemonFC In a pod that costs 75-96 cents. [07:33] schestowitz what does the machine check for?

[07:36] DaemonFC Then you have to fill them all yourself. [07:36] schestowitz but WHY? [07:36] DaemonFC So it still ends up costing you like half of what a store-bought pre-filled pod does.

[08:57] DaemonFC He married my Grandmother and had to live with her for over 45 years.
