- SimbaOnSteroids 1y agoIt's not unclear. Oma has had the 1000 yard stare for the last 10 years. None of this is unclear.

- Esophagus4 1y agoI’m not sure you’re ever going to get the smoking gun you’re looking for to make a conclusive statement here. In lending, there’s a legal concept of disparate impact, which means even if your policy didn’t explicitly intend to harm this group of people, you implicitly / indirectly impacted them, and that also counts as a bad thing just like explicit impact. Basically, you don’t have to prove intent, you only have to prove outcome. …It was a roundabout analogy, but I think the same thing applies here. I don’t need the administration to say, “we did that because we don’t like him.” There is enough impact for me to conclude culpability, regardless of whether I can prove intent. (Edit: maybe a better concept here is circumstantial evidence)
