    Yes exactly that. The way the world is today it seems like these extreme measures are the only thing that can actually do something. Just look at how some of the bootlickers are reacting to this:...

    unless this proposal has been abandoned in its entirety and binding assurances have been given that FIFA will never again open its governance or competitions to private ownership.

    Pleasantly surprised that they went all out. Really didn’t think they had it in them. In a world where integrity and money is chipping away everything we love this stands out

    EDIT
    Also this line goes hard and is really needed for just about everything right now

    No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation

    I mean I didn’t not like Circle but I’m also a sucker for simple plot movies like Phone Booth. Don’t know if it’s a genre by itself. Besides that I agree with you

    No ransom was paid after the unnamed company "evicted" the hackers, the DoJ said.

    I don’t have any grandparents left and it’s somehow uncomfortable to ask my mother directly about hers. Not that it’s taboo or something awful happened it’s just…awkward in a way. My dad is dead and he was easier to talk to about old times because it just came naturally.

    These ghouls have been coming for our children for years without any concerns. One of the worst threats to any parent. Fines are not enough. They need to be punished severely and never trusted again.
