AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on JB, a trial lawyer advocating for a movement that challenges the concept of personal responsibility, particularly in the context of fast food and obesity-related lawsuits. During a debate in Washington, D.C., JB dismissed personal responsibility as "crap," signaling a shift in legal focus towards the fast-food industry, which could face a wave of lawsuits. Legal experts warn that this could threaten the $115 billion fast-food sector, potentially leading to significant financial repercussions, including job losses and restaurant closures. The conversation reflects broader concerns about the implications of such lawsuits on personal accountability and the future of the food industry.

...the trial lawyer who dreamt up the tobacco lawsuits... JB is the head of a new troubling movement that believes there is no such thing as PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY! At a debate in Washington, D.C. he said before hundreds of disbelievers that personal responsibility was "crap!"

JB has begun cultivating the next cash crop for the trial lawyers: fast food.

At stake is not only the abrogation of personal responsibility, but also the future of the $115 billion fast-food industry -- and perhaps the entire food industry. A potential flood of obesity-related lawsuits could cost the restaurant industry hundreds of millions of dollars, legal experts say. Industry executives say that could result in job losses and restaurant closings.

And this is just the beginning. [continued]

I want to see this go ahead, and all the murderers and such appeal on the basis that they can't be held responsible for their actions.

You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
