These maximums on pain & suffering are bollocks. They don't compensate the plaintiff adequately for P&S, and they don't inflict nearly enough P&S on the defendant.

In addition to the changed description of Cricket, I think of her young daughter looking for Cricket when she came home from school. And Noem reporting this as if it's no big deal.
I've heard she and her now-adult daughter have relationship issues. I can't imagine why....

It is really sad to see this degree of ignorance and immaturity among our fellow Americans.
But it's not all bad, he made Joe Pesci trend. Once we learned he hadn't died, that is. (Whew!)
P.S. Neither Pesci nor DeNiro was in Donnie Brasco. That would be Pacino or Depp.
Joe Pesci was great in Donnie Brasco, but that does not give him the right to violate Donald Trumpβs HIPPA and Fifth Amendment rights by judging him guilty (Latin for βnot innocentβ), which he did right here
He must be arrested

To be clear:
PPM values
450 to 800 PPM The room you are in is well ventilated.
800 to 1200 PPM A poorly ventilated and crowded room.
1200 to 2000 PPM Due to the large amount of CO2, the brain will receive less O2. The room is not ventilated.
This is why I avoid flying.

A travesty. 18 complaints, two disciplinary actions, but let's focus a medical issue that potentially makes the victim look bad.

The Guiliani search also provides us a window into the RWNJ reaction, presaging the reaction when the public process begins to hold Trump accountible (in whatever form that takes).
