I'm guessing these are all oil field workers who would have had the same training.

Lawyers are one of the few workers who get paid proportionally to the value they produce. It's just that the value they produce has grown exponentially high since they represent people and corporations with ridiculous sums of money.
A good example is the case where Elon Musk sued the law firm that the former Twitter owners used to force Musk into buying Twitter. Musk argued that the $90 million payment to the law firm was way too much money. The law firm argued the deal was worth $44 billion, making their payment just 0.2% of the value they created for their client. Courts agreed the law firm did not overcharge.
If each worker for Amazon got paid 0.2% of Amazon's yearly revenue, they'd all make over $1 million a year. The problem is they have so many employees that Amazon can't actually give each of them 0.2%.
Another example is the two Trump defamation cases. The first case was put on hold because he was president. The second case was after he was no longer president. Courts eventually ruled both cases could proceed, so it was a rare time when someone got tried for the same thing twice. Trump used two different lawyers when arguing these cases. One case resulted in a $5 million decision and the other resulted in an $83.3 million decision. It's a great example of the value of a good lawyer. These cases were identical except for Trump's lawyer. One lawyer can generate $78.3 million in value. It's hard to find any other profession where a single person can generate that much value in a few months.
The original legal definition of bastard is any child born outside of marriage. I would assume the reason why it applies mostly to sons is because the law used to prevent bastards from receiving inheritance and royal titles. Daughters already had difficulty receiving these things, so a bastard daughter wasn't much different than a legitimate daughter.
In modern times, almost all legalities around bastard children have been removed from law since most children are bastards.
A 4 hour old account asking if spooning your sister is weird. This is a troll post.
Potion seller, I'm going to hug my wife and need your strongest fire resistance potions.
#2 is because, in the election interference case against Trump, one piece of evidence being used by the prosecution is that Trump instructed his Attorney General to send letters alleging that mass voter fraud was found to several state election officials, despite knowing that claim was false.
SCOTUS essentially ruled that even if that action could be considered a crime, Trump is immune from punishment since it's an "official act".
Only the theme really.
In hacknet, when you try to hack a target you'll see it has SSH and FTP services running. You run fake programs like SSHcrack.exe and FTPbounce.exe to exploit those services and the you're in.
In hackmud, when you try to hack a target you'll see it has an "ez_35" lock and a "c001" lock. The ez_35 lock requires an unlock word, something like "open", "unlock", "release" and a digit between 0 and 9. The c001 lock requires a color like "red" "purple" "lime". You need to enter the right inputs within the time limit to hack the target. You can do it manually, but most targets have too many locks with too many options to manually guess all of them in time. You'll need to write your own real life script in JavaScript that can detect locks and automatically guess every option for those locks. If you've ever done programming challenges then you shouldn't have too much difficulty writing these scripts. If you're new to programming it's not the easiest tutorial. The game provides very little direct help.
a single example of a situation where the President would need to break the law in an official capacity.
I definitely don't support the ruling but Obama has ordered drone strikes that killed children. Does that mean Obama should stand trial for murder? I think the idea is that the president is given the authority to do things most people can't, and because of that, they can't be held to the same standard as other people, at least while using that authority.
There really aught to be a line though. There can't be blanket Immunity on every single presidental act no matter what. Ordering the assassination of the al-Qaeda leader and ordering the assassination of the Democrat leader should not be considered equal actions under the law. Trump is already arguing that his conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results was an official action of the president. There's no way that should be considered valid.
It's known as surplus value. The amount of value created by a worker beyond what they've been paid to create it.
If a worker is paid $10 an hour and produces $100 of value in that hour then they have created surplus value of $90. Surplus value is kept by the company as profit. Socialists argue the amount of surplus value taken by companies has grown exponentially since the industrial revolution where a single worker could produce massive amounts of value in a small amount of time. Wages have not increased to compensate for the massive increase in surplus value.
You can find a prostitute to have sex with you for less than the price of Baldur's Gate 3 and, unlike Baldur’s Gate 3, sex hasn't even won Game of The Year.
If you made $0.1 for every $1 Amazon made you'd have $28,100,000,000 dollars a year.
I WAS IN THE POOL!
