More like it went from 60 to 100. Laws not applying to very wealthy and connected people is definitely not a new development in the USA. But yes, the trend has been accelerating and become very blatant and in-your-face.

Every country gets the government it deserves. -- Joseph de Maistre, 1811

How do some third graders in Alabama deserve this? How do my 22-year-old waiter friends in rural Texas deserve this? What exactly did they do to deserve this?

Be precise: the quote does not say "individual people deserve...", it's talking about the country as a whole. And even then, you don't necessarily have to agree with it.

It's easy to hide a lot of objectionable stuff in metonymy.

It feels reasonable to me to think of a "country" as the people who live there; doubly so when discussing a putative democracy.

But sure, I will entertain the idea that you mean something different that literally every other person I've encountered who has uttered that similar sentiment:

if the claim is that the owning-class of the US are seeing the results of their 400-year-long racist, genocidal campaign to enslave the world and exploit every crevice of the planet come home to roost in the form of a decaying ability to present themselves as ethically okay...

sure I can agree to that.

But honestly, I don't think that's what you're trying to say.

two aspects 1. The situation I imply is way broader: it includes corporate favoritism, epstein files people not getting cosequences, cricular investment of the hyperscalers, illusion of AI boom where the president is just a cherry on top. Swap the cherries, and next ones will keep doing what current ones showed is possible and brings no consequences. Add money-printing, war which can't be won, debt growth etc etc. So…

epstein files people not getting cosequences France has started a new investigation and will try to extradite Ghislaine Maxwell, since she is a french national and has installed an investigative judge, so maybe some will face consequences. https://www.democraticunderground.com/1322121619

Formally you're correct. Cudos to France. I think there are also a number of invesitgations started in other european countries. Like Norway or something.

In practice majority of people from the list are americans. The released documents are created by the parts of the american government (we did not see what other organisations know/have) which is literally responsible for enforcing the law. It even have "justice" in their title "Department of Justice". And this is only the visible to us part. They have way more info than they showed... So yeah, no justice is not on the menu today from USA's government.

you're about 3 administrations late to the party. The only difference now is that you're paying attention.
