    Tangential as well, Mark Bankston was one of the prosecuting attorneys in Alex Jones’ TX trial for his slander and libel ('cause he definitely did both) of the families of Sandy Hook victims. So on top of dunking on Musk, he’s also a good attorney? Seems like a pretty cool dude.

      I’ve met quite a few attorneys lately and it has really changed my opinion to something other than the American public default of “scum sucking lawyers”. In fact, the only attorney I’ve met that actually is a scum sucking piece of shit is a city manager. The other private attorneys are all awesome and do a fair bit of pro bono work.

        In this particular context, I meant “successful and capable” when I said “good”. But I agree with your point generally: people are often less shitty than the stereotypes about them.
