"The Epstein Class" intentionally incorporates those that were Epstein's clients and those who are merely wealthy enough to be, but may not have been. This is good for several reasons, including the tying of the moral to the structural (as symptom, not cause) and creating pressure and division within that class. It does not suggest a lack of structural failure.
It is correct to call them the Epstein class.

Yes. The law is based on "expectation of privacy". If you're out in public, you're not in a place where you can reasonably assume privacy, so you are ok to be filmed/photographed.

In principle, targeting someone and taking photos of them should be illegal, under harassment law.
In practice, this will only apply if you are brown and don't speak very good English.

Another democratic socialist victory – Angie Nixon in Florida – sends shock waves through party establishment

Ok. That's fair. But Vindman is obviously to the right of the Democratic voter base, so he would've dragged the party further to the right than the people the Democrats are supposed to represent. That is a problem. And for the past few decades, we've seen western democracies drift to the right as a result of this mechanic. Now, we have proto-fascists in high office. That needs to stop.
Elections need to be fair.

Thanks a lot, Mr. Spock.

Illogical. Wishing on a star requires a 'shooting star', which is in fact a meteor burning up while falling into Earth's gravity well due to the Earth transiting through its solar neighborhood during its course around the Sun.

We don't need axioms for empiricism. That's the entire point. We ask questions of physical reality and infer limited and verifiable knowledge from the results, without ever stating that anything has been proven.
