Glad I don’t know wtf this is about.
If I’m to believe I own the crap I buy that’s digital delivery, then if they want to take it back, they need to buy it from me at my price.
Looks fixed now.
The entire world is figuring out you can’t please them all, legally.
If, legally, religious attire is allowed as an exception, then they must allow those satanists to wear theirs. Solution? Businesses and service providers can no longer restrict clothing, including if someone wants to work in a bathing suit. Or, face an expensive legal battle.
If long hair on males is forbidden in the schools, then you must be willing to force a Native American to cut his hair. If you are willing to do that, then expect more legal restriction and an expensive legal battle.
All this stuff is going through the courts in various countries in various extremes. Been interesting to watch over the last couple decades.
It was a sewer before Elon. Only when she gets called out via a hashtag, now it’s the reason to leave? Ok. Sounds legit.
Wonder where it is predicted to end up now?
A “once in a 125,000 year heat wave” you say? See you next year!
Only problem? If everything stopped today, we’d see increases in temps for 20 more years.
United getting divided.
1947, a candy bar was a nickel. 2023, how many candy bars can you buy for a nickel?
They are learning and not realizing it. Let’s put down the macroeconomic books and go back to preschool and exchange the dollar bill with an Oreo cookie.
Everyone wants your cookie. It’s rare. It’s the only one. You know you can trade your cookie for supplies to feed your entire family. So you keep your cookie clean, free of stench and prepare to trade it.
Only now, 76 years has gone by and someone stole your recipe and made an infinite supply of your exact cookie.
What will your cookie get you now?
Every time the government prints money out of thin air, your saved dollar gets worth less and less. War drum, stimulus packages, infrastructure, all of it. If they “found the money” by writing up a bill to print money instead of sacrificing the public with extra taxes, the dollar was devalued.
That’s why the “haves” ended up with all the money when they invested in non-fiat stuff like housing or invested it in stocks that will grow with inflation.
The “have nots” rented and spent every dollar they made.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize every dollar printed out of thin air devalues existing dollars in the marketplace.
How much GDP does this equate to? According to the Cost of War project at Brown University, the failed global “war on terror” cost $8 trillion and caused more than 900,000 deaths over the course of 20 years.
Billions being spent and everyone will wonder why inflation continues to hold strong a year from now.
Where was this when they literally declared war and said “the enemy will pay an unprecedented price?” What did the Palestinian supporters think would happen exactly?
My daughter is buying a house at 24. People are still buying houses with mortgages.
I do visit Reddit on occasion (with Adblock) but I haven’t made one comment or one post since I lost Apollo. Why? I deleted all history then deleted the accounts. I can’t even upvote and that’s my little protest still in full swing.
Streaming platforms are all joining in on the enshitification process.
Soon, people will join one service for one month then switch to the next.
After that, they will all begin contracts to “lock in the price.” Possibly in bundle agreements with multiple providers.
That’s when the full transition to $120+ cable costs returns, but in streaming format.
When Israel declared war, what do you think that meant exactly?
Uhh, Redbox is still super cheap
Fireworks are a complete waste of other people’s money. Besides the regular fireworks show (taxes), I like watching people’s money go up in smoke. It’s fun!
