A quick definition of compensation:

Term: Compensation

Definition: Compensation is the money you get paid for doing a job or for something bad that happened to you. If you get hurt while working, you might get compensation to help you pay for your medical bills and other things you need. This is called workers' compensation. It's a way to help you without having to go to court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Compensation refers to the payment or reward given to an individual for the work or services they have provided. It can also refer to the monetary award given to someone who has suffered harm or loss.

For example, when an employee works for a company, they receive compensation in the form of a salary or wages. In the event of an injury or illness caused by work, workers' compensation laws provide benefits to the employee to cover medical expenses and lost wages.

Another example of compensation is when a person receives damages in a lawsuit for harm suffered due to someone else's actions. This compensation can cover medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.

These examples illustrate how compensation is a form of payment or reward for work or services performed, or for harm suffered.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.

ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
23:02
i am not that sympathetic to him
Dkk
23:04
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.
Dkk
23:05
Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.

Indeed. I need a count for how many exectuive orders he has signed and how many already have pending lawsuits.
