Assuming you are correct, being aggressive or violent whilst being arrested for a $3 crime should be punishable by death?

Skipping a fare should not be punishable by death, I don't care how wealthy the skipper is.

The second was not as tight and really strained credulity in some places, but it was still a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to season three.

Because blindness isn't a disability in the Federation. Geordi lives a full and happy life, and, as OP mentioned, is actually able to save the entire crew specifically because he's blind.

"Fixing" his blindness in a compassionate, post-scarcity world that has the tools to allow someone to succeed no matter what physical characteristics they possess is like "fixing" a baby's hair color. It doesn't make the child's life easier, so what's the point other than eugenics?

Also worth noting that most of Gabe's (and Valve's) value is not based on anyone at Valve's work, but instead based on taking a cut from every dev that sells on Steam. Valve is effectively a landlord renting out digital real estate. The fact that they're able to make obscene amounts of money suggests to me that maybe rents are too damn high.

As an individual territory, the U.S. is isolated. As an empire, we have bases on every continent. The risk isn't being killed. It's being declawed.

Not advocating for American imperialism, just clarifying the point.

Ah, yes. One of those good Jim Crow policies.

My brother-in-law has one of these trucks. He still lives with his parents, doesn't tow or haul anything, and works as a janitor. He's paying $350/month on the loan just so he can feel cool.

No, capitalism is feudalism with loot boxes! Because I could win the lottery.
