extraordinary circumstances

Read a random definition: in solido

A quick definition of extraordinary circumstances:

Extraordinary circumstances refer to situations that are unusual or unexpected and cannot be predicted or prepared for with normal measures. This can include dangerous situations, extreme diligence, high dividends, significant expenses, and floods that are so severe that they could not have been foreseen or prevented with ordinary foresight. These circumstances are often considered to be beyond the control of individuals or organizations and may require special actions or responses to address them.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Extraordinary circumstances refer to situations that are unexpected, unusual, and beyond the control of a person or organization. These circumstances are so extreme that they could not have been predicted or prevented by reasonable measures.

Examples:

  • Extraordinary danger: A hazardous situation that is not common and poses a significant risk to people or property. For example, a sudden earthquake or a terrorist attack.
  • Extraordinary diligence: A level of care and attention that goes beyond what is expected or required. For example, a doctor who works tirelessly to save a patient's life despite the odds being against them.
  • Extraordinary dividend: A dividend payment that is higher than usual and unexpected. For example, a company that announces a special dividend to its shareholders due to a sudden increase in profits.
  • Extraordinary expense: An expense that is unusual and unexpected. For example, a business that incurs significant costs due to a natural disaster or a legal dispute.
  • Extraordinary flood: A flood that is so severe and unexpected that it could not have been anticipated or prevented. For example, a flash flood caused by heavy rainfall that overwhelms a city's drainage system.

These examples illustrate how extraordinary circumstances are events or situations that are beyond the control of individuals or organizations. They are unexpected and require a higher level of attention, care, or expense than what is typically required. Extraordinary circumstances can have a significant impact on people's lives, businesses, and communities.

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
i am not that sympathetic to him

@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.

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.
