This problem becomes even more asinine when you consider that the whole point of the Return to Office drive is the "Magic Hallway Conversation" that happens during those informal break time periods.

That is what they're doing though.

This is a great example of the Gish Gallop in action.

It solves the prisoner's dilemma problem. If my rival doesn't protect workers, he can finish jobs cheaper and then put me out of business, etc

Wait until all of the fish's friends chained up in a cave hear about this!

They really want a clear separation of church and state.

Normally, when these kinds of laws or rules are created, it is with the intention to be solely utilized by the Christian faith.

While the same approach could be done with Judiasm or Islam, invoking Satanism is a much clearer signal for Christians. "Why is the school promoting Satan?" becomes a leading question to start the discussion that maybe government shouldn't advocate or promote any religion.

It's tolerated because he's literally the best player in his position in the entire world (and one of the best in the history of the entire sport). What are the going to do? Get rid of him?

If you're not one of the best, the behavior is not tolerated as much.

Here's a short podcast about her: Planet Money

The podcast pretty much just sums up what you already said, but this is for people who don't like reading.

I don't understand. Isn't the way not to be suspected of perjury just not to lie to the court in the first place? It doesn't seem like extortion to me.

I think this was due to the conflict of interest by the old lawyer, who probably told this witness, "Just say you didn't see anything or don't remember and you'll be fine."

It turned out it wasn't fine and the guy found a new lawyer. This new lawyer is being a zealous advocate and trying to keep this guy out of jail.

Things like this always make me wonder if a state could legally turn into a dictatorship.

Could Florida legally change it's constitution to say "All governing power rests entirely in Ron DeSantis" and dissolve it's representative bodies? Obviously it would still be beholden to voters for national elections (representatives and senators), but statewide there could be nothing.
