Frankly, this is shameful on the part of Paul, Weiss.
The executive orders targeting law firms are an existential threat to the legal industry. Capitulation is not the answer.
#Trump rescinds his Executive Order targeting Paul, Weiss because the firm entered into an “agreement” with Trump.
According to the White House, Trump agreed to rescind after a meeting w/ Paul Weiss chairman Brad Karp, in which Karp “acknowledged the wrongdoing” of former partner Mark Pomerantz.
@GottaLaff I went to school with people who became attorneys. I know they had to take the same history classes and political science classes that the rest of us did. I’m even going to assume that white shoe attorneys went to better universities than I did, or at least had prettier endowments.
So there is no damn excuse for them to not know that appeasement doesn’t work, it’s never worked, it will never work, it just makes the bully more entitled. We are surrounded by Chamberlains when what we need is a good Churchill.
@MissConstrue @GottaLaff What we need is direct democracy aka anarchy. No more "presidents" or "senators" or any other permanent positions of power. No more competitive elections where winner takes all. This whole system is a disaster, a failure and has been for a long, long time. No more nation-states that are nothing but giant protection rackets.
In my many decades upon the bosom of mother earth, I have done many things, including communal living off the grid, and herding the cats that are the sort of people who tend towards anarchy.
Communal living and anarchy only work when everyone involved *wants* to be involved. In a culture which has been deeply marinated in capitalism for generations, where social commons and good have been deprecated and ridiculed, it's going to be very difficult to change their world view.
That said; the United States as an experiment has failed. in the 21st century, a centralized American government is like trying to administer the entire EU from Turkey.
How we fix that though? Man, I dunno.
