    The whole Bill Burr perspective that corporations and such are legalized mafia that are still going to occasionally whack people for real instead of with lawyers is more than a joke.

    How many people were hardcore assassinated by these people in 2024?

      Basically none.

      See, killing someone makes them a martyr Sueing them into the ground or just buying the newspaper and firing the journalist generally does not.

        Not my favorite over the years, no. I’m more into Josh Johnson or Trevor Noah for standup.

        Even so, he’s right on this.

        I try not to put myself in a silo.

      There were those 2 Boeing whistleblowers that suddenly became terminally suicidal, and a Tesla whistleblower suddenly found his brake lines cut. Idk if those happened in 2024 (I don’t think so), but they definitely keep happening.
