murder clause

Read a random definition: rule of the floating subtrahend

A quick definition of murder clause:

A murder clause is a rule in a contract that makes one person have to do really hard things that might not be fair. This usually happens in contracts for building things.

A more thorough explanation:

A murder clause is a provision in a contract that places unfair and difficult obligations on one party. These clauses are commonly found in construction contracts.

Imagine a construction company signs a contract with a client to build a new office building. The contract includes a murder clause that states if any worker on the construction site is killed, the construction company will be held responsible and must pay a large sum of money to the client. This clause places an unreasonable burden on the construction company, as accidents can happen on any job site and it is not always possible to prevent them.

Another example could be a contract between a landlord and a tenant that includes a murder clause. If the tenant or anyone on the property is killed, the landlord may be held responsible and required to pay damages. This clause places an unfair burden on the landlord, as they cannot control the actions of others on the property.

These examples illustrate how murder clauses can be unreasonable and place unfair obligations on one party in a contract.

I wouldn't say trauma, the trauma would probably come from seeing my friends head get crushed by an LTV and feeling the bag of glass that was his skull in my hands. Or knowing a kid I mentored shot himself with a bullet he used to keep around his neck that I allowed him to have illegally.

Winter is tattoo season because you are less likely to be in the sun exposing the healng tattoos, you dont go swimming or tanning in winter either so you don't miss out on the fun stuff of summer
