Reply to comment by Raregolddragon in TIL on the night of 22-23 July 1945 USN Commander Eugene Fluckey sent a shore party from his submarine USS Barb (SS-220) to sabotage a railroad. The raiders became the only Allied force to invade mainland Japan in the war, and the Barb became the only sub in history with a confirmed kill on a train. by YankeeWalrus
Platinum trophy.

>According to the Cambridge Dictionary, in BDSM culture, a "dom" means dominant, and "sub" is submissive.
They really had to pull out the big guns for that citation.

It is more complex than household debt but it does ultimately operate the same. The rational for high government debt which you mention is the same rational for taking out student loans. It’s a lot of money upfront but over time inflation and increased earnings make it a smart investment, assuming (a) there is no hard cap to total economic growth and (b) society doesn’t totally collapse or fundamentally change.

Reply to comment by plugubius in Pot twist: Cannabis firm refuses federal judge's ruling because its business isn't legal under federal law by Doc_Dante
A landlord renting a unit for an illegal purpose can be criminally liable as a co-conspirator. The lease is also void so they won’t be entitled to contractual rent. A court could order some payment to the landlord based on equitable principles but the doctrine of unclean hands and public policy considerations would most likely bar or limit recovery.
Bottom line: landlords, don’t lease out space for criminal activity.

There is. A landlord can be held liable for conspiracy if they know crimes are taking place on their property. This comes up with so-called “crystal palaces” where motel owner knowingly rent rooms to meth users and prostitutes

As a Schedule I drug, it is illegal to possess or sell cannabis under the Controlled Substances Act. Federal judges have to follow the CSA. State courts don’t (usually).

A commercial lease for the purpose of running a cannabis business is illegal under federal law. A lot of commercial leases have the business use/purpose expressly stated in them. But even if this one didn’t the court is not going to ignore what the lease was for. The court cannot enforce a contract, including rent, if it is for an illegal purpose.
Similar cases involve personal service contracts for “physical assistance” that are actually for sex. The court looks to how a contract actually functions. Not just how it appears to function.
