A quick definition of stock association:

A stock association is a type of company where people come together to invest their money and start a business. It can also be called a joint-stock company. The people who invest in the company own shares, which represent a portion of the company's value. There are many different types of companies, like ones that hold other companies or ones that invest in different assets. Some companies are also owned by their customers, like insurance companies. A trust company is a type of company that acts as a trustee for people and entities, and sometimes also operates as a bank.

A more thorough explanation:

A stock association is a type of joint-stock company where individuals contribute capital by buying shares. Each member's investment is represented by the number of shares they own. The liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount they invested. A stock association is an unincorporated business enterprise with ownership interests represented by shares of stock.

For example, a group of individuals may come together to start a business and form a stock association. Each member contributes capital by buying shares, and the business is run by a board of directors elected by the shareholders. The liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount they invested, so they are not personally responsible for any debts or losses incurred by the business.

Another example is a mutual insurance company, which is a type of stock association where the policyholders are also the owners. The company is run by a board of directors elected by the policyholders, and any profits are returned to the policyholders in the form of dividends or lower premiums.

In summary, a stock association is a type of joint-stock company where individuals contribute capital by buying shares, and the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount they invested.

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.
