“Quiet! Quiet, Piggy!”
“Quiet!” commands her silence, revealing his subservient worldview of women. Be seen not heard, know your place.
“Pig” shames her body and/or character, while “piggy” infantilizes her—she’s slovenly, a child, beneath him.

All rackets run on trust between members. That trust is fragile—one betrayal can bring the whole system down.

When millions lose insurance later this year, the insured population shrinks.
Demand is inelastic: people still get sick, injured, or need chronic care. They don’t stop consuming healthcare; they just consume it in more expensive, less efficient ways. And they take on medical debt.

Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Austrian lawyer turned SS chief, weaponized German law.

Jurisprudence is the study of law’s nature and purpose.
It asks what law is, how it should be applied, and how it relates to justice and society. Lawyers and judges use jurisprudence to guide interpretation, ensuring legal systems are more than rules—they are frameworks for fairness and order.
