    “It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.” Blackstone’s ratio.

    We’ve lost this as an ideal. The fear, hatred, and apathy of the billionaires for literally everyone but themselves has been spread by the media they control. The unavoidable endgame of unregulated capitalism.
