Clarence Thomas Hikes Price of Supreme Court Decisions to Keep Pace with Inflation

Image
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Citing “unfortunate economic realities,” Clarence Thomas is hiking the price of Supreme Court decisions to keep up with inflation.

The jurist disclosed his new rate card in a mass e-mail sent to more than a hundred super-donors.

“I have tried to keep my prices reasonable, but, as inflation proves more stubborn than predicted, I have no choice but to adjust my rates accordingly,” he wrote.

“Sadly, the days of shredding civil rights in exchange for ten private-jet flights are over,” he added.

It remains to be seen whether the billionaires who received Thomas’s e-mail will tolerate his steeper prices or whether they will explore a budget option such as Neil Gorsuch.

If you're willing to install an extension to get past the paywall with a little less effort (I mean, look at all the work it takes to copy and paste a URL :) ) you could try "spaywall"

What are you talking about? Copying and pasting a URL is work? When you share an article from https://12ft.io/ it makes it extremely easy - without any concern if the receiver of the post has used up their free articles for the month at the particular website you are sharing. Sharing a link from https://12ft.io/ That directly leads to the article saves them any effort whatsoever to read the article. All they have to do is click the link. Done!

Notice the " little less effort" and the :) ?

I was simply showing another way of doing the same thing.

HAHAHAHA................. I checked out Spaywall, and Spaywall uses https://12ft.io/. Are you embarrassed at least little now? Spaywall is just a ripoff interface for for actually using https://12ft.io/ (12ft ladder).
Now pretend that you already knew that to save face..hahahaha!

Nope, not embarrassed at all - why should I be? - I have no "face" that needs saving. I do find your reaction a bit strange, however. But who am I to criticise, right?

I had no idea of the relationship between 12ft and spaywall. I honestly believed that I was just indicating that 12ft was not the only option. Obviously I didn't probe further.

But at least I provided some entertainment value, apparently.

Totally unrelated: have you ever made an honest mistake about something when you thought you were being helpful?

Yes, I have often made that mistake. Many a time. I was having fun with you Malkie. I sometimes I forget that when I am clowning around with someone online that they are likely to think I am being serious. So.., I was just having fun with you Malkie. Wasn't meaning to be a jerk. Just good fun. They need to create an emoji to convey when one is just joking around. Smiley faces don't effectively accomplish that.

We're good, Nomomo, as far as I'm concerned. I get a bit too serious at times, and it doesn't bring out the best in me.

Also, I should have known better - the comments that I took umbrage at seemed out of character, and that should have given me a clue.

Please forgive me.
