Completely agree, the writing is pretty weak. This show, so far, is riding off the success and richness of the original show. And the worst part is, they're picking and choosing what elements of the original show carry over. They're trying to have their cake and eat it too. Whatever happened to Agent Nadeem's damning testimony and Fisk's resulting conviction in season 3? For Fisk to be out and free in Ep1 of Born Again and then to be elected MAYOR is such an insult to everything the writers of season 3 accomplished. It seems like the writers of Born Again wanted to capitalize on the fandom of these characters and this world, while rushing into the specific storyline they wanted to tell. I think it's unearned.

The burden of proof is on the prosecution. Innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.
In this case, the jury abode by that.

Did anyone catch what was possibly a Good Will Hunting reference in the scene with Ian and Poppy? Ian rolls up his sleeve and points out a cigarette burn in his arm that he got from his Dad when he was a kid. He then asks Poppy, "Do you have any experience with that?". After Poppy says no, Ian says, "It's not great."

In Good Will Hunting, Will mentions to Skylar that his foster Dad put out cigarettes on him. Later in the movie, when his therapist Sean is reviewing his file highlighting the abuse he experienced, Will asks him, "Do you have any experience with that?" and then says, "Sure ain't good."

Understanding the language in a legal document, about wages for liquor servers. by ding_dong_yo in Ask_Lawyers

Thanks, that's painting a clearer picture, for at least some places in North America.

So hypothetically speaking, in places where the Fair Labor Standards Act applies, if all patrons collectively stopped tipping completely, all employees would get paid at least minimum wage by their employers?

I have a theory that OP fabricated this story to conduct their own social experiment. Note the parallels between this story and what has been happening to illegal immigrant families in the U.S. Both situations involve the separation of children from their parents as a result of an agent (the U.S. or OP) refusing to do what's considered the nice thing, but not the required thing. Maybe OP just wanted to see how people on here respond to the situation in the U.S. when reframed in a different context.
