Johnson & Johnson trying to get away from paying lawsuit by claiming bankruptcy: The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed a bankruptcy filing by a Johnson & Johnson spinoff company, ruling that the company was not in genuine financial distress. The court noted that the spinoff company still has access to Johnson & Johnson's assets, worth an estimated $61.5 billion. https://www.wxxinews.org/2023-01-30/appeals-court-clears-the-way-for-more-lawsuits-over-johnsons-baby-powder

This is very cool. Especially for us old software folks, code from the best coders of this era are like fine artwork. I've spent hours looking over Atkinson's brilliant Macintosh code.

So, just for a recap on the Tory assault on the Scottish Government -
A Section 35 order gives a UK govt minister authority to veto Holyrood Bills, which fall within legislative competence, without reference to the courts.
In this ‘voluntary, democratic union of equals’, #Scotland:
- Can’t pass legislation in its own elected parliament on devolved matters
- Cannot leave on its own terms
- Is ripped out of the EU against its will
- Gets Tory Governments it never votes for
