... I will believe that when they are held accountable for their numerous crimes against humanity. Corporations, unlike people, cannot be sent to jail. Unfortunately.

... unless there was a hostile takeover involved, or even if there wasn't, I'm sure there's some biblical precedent that allows it. Or there will be. No guilt.

... now, now, don't be confusing the frothy foam of fantasy that floats in his cortex with y'er hi-falutin' logic and sensible talk... he has a sweater-vest. That's the mark of the common man.

EITC, too.

It is so tragic that married couples are forced to zealously conceal their status in order to shield themselves from public approbation. It would be a fool's errand, for instance, to search through the online or physical editions of daily newspapers for any mention of upcoming nuptials because no one would be careless enough to allow such information to slip into public circulation. The resulting scandal would be devastating.

Planners have to go to elaborate lengths to disguise the actual wedding ceremony; typical strategies include camouflaging it as a church service, a large garden party or a formal ball. And one can search in vain for any public retail vendors of the various items and accessories associated with the ceremony. Things like gowns, tuxedos, rings, etc. can only be obtained surreptitiously from a handful of underground or black market sources in order to avoid attracting notice.

Pre-wedding events are typically disguised as group "showers" for the women. The participants never seem to get wet at these bathing parties although they often do get sloshed. The males often attend a bacchanal called a "bachelor's party" which is carefully planned and executed to give no hint that one of the participants is about to get married the next day. Attendance is typically limited to a small select group of very close friends and relatives and is by invitation only.

Once the events surrounding the ceremony have taken place the newly married couple quickly departs from the community, again in order to conceal the deal and confuse anyone who may try to investigate, and travel to some exotic or remote location for a short or extended vacation. They all but vanish and are not seen again for days or even weeks before eventually returning with as little fanfare as possible.

It requires quite a bit of effort to pull all of this off without attracting any notice. The highly secretive nature of the matter makes it exceedingly difficult to gather any statistics on the prevalence of the practice. Families are very tight-lipped and assiduously avoid any discussion of anything related to weddings or marriages among their relatives. No public announcement is ever made of the couple's new status. One of the spouses may even change surnames to match that of the other spouse, or the two may even sometimes create a new surname with is a hyphenated compound of their original individual names. Presumably this is done in order to create the fiction that the two individuals are blood relatives and to hide the fact that one of them actually came from another, unrelated family.
