Things weren't great before covid, but during that time the corporations just decided fuck it, gougefest, and we're never going back. Consumers will suffer, and they'll keep buying because they'll have no choice. Win win!

I, too, saw that factoid in a crossword yesterday

Testes, check, check, testes. One, two...three??

Yeah I remember officers having their careers ended for criticizing Bush. Word was that troops were prohibited from that type of activity, officers especially so.

Torontonians need not limit themselves in potential; they simply require belief and steely resolve

I like candidates who weren't barred.

"We're gonna stop doing one of our main day to day functions because we have goals and stuff"

Who do they think they're fooling?

I can't stand it either. At least in most cases you can give a throwaway email to get the better pricing. It's kind of the devil you know at this point.

Dynamic pricing, on the other hand, is true evil as I see it. Adjusting prices on the fly to suit whatever arbitrary condition is set by corporate jerkoffs...it's price gouging in real time.

I hope this is fake somehow, otherwise Steve has put his own house on the verge of collapse. And if it happens, she won't remember complaining about the unsightly pipes running under the joists.

Maybe try not being followers who allow ourselves to be influenced. I think if you had described this social media situation to average people 20 years ago most would have seen it as dystopian, evil even. But because it happened so gradually it gained acceptance.

I guess what I'm saying is we should get the hell rid of it all so eventually public opinion won't be swayed by cheap foreign labor, bots, and people who just want to burn it all down.

But we won't because too many think all this is better than the world before it existed.

I never thought I'd see the day when a politician spewing obvious lies in an interview, engaging in ad hominem attacks against the interviewer, and storming off like a toddler would achieve anything but alienation.

But this will go mostly unnoticed by his supporters. Cue Carr threatening NBC's broadcast license in 3, 2, 1...

He should have been arrested, cuffed, and hauled off to be locked up like anyone else.

Instead everyone will continue to coddle him, emboldening his jackass followers as if this course is somehow favorable to consequences.

Fuck sake, now he's threatening third-party vessels with his malevolent idiocy. This is a big misstep of an escalation, no?

Indeed. Scrap electoral college and remove the arbitrary cap on House reps.

Strongman won't act on his initial whim? What is Stongman afraid of? Strongman looks like pansy RINO now. Strongman of old never worried about weak court weenies. Stop doubting, make Strongman great again!

I fail to see any logic with anyone interviewed. They knew things would be worse for Palestine and Lebanon with the donvict, they know they personally may face hardship as a consequence of the election. They know they were duped.

But they wanted to punish Democrats and Harris particularly. Does that satisfaction make the rest of the shit sandwich taste good?

"Ford's Kentucky Truck plant builds the Ford F-Series Super Duty, Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs. The plant is one of the largest auto factories in the world and accounts for $25 billion a year in revenue, according to Ford which issued a statement shortly after the walkout."

Fain wasn't bluffing, they're hitting them where it hurts. Go UAW!

So the Trump goons come, some uninvited, to put on a show during a hearing to try and distract. This judge will have none of it and is vocal about the nonsense, so the clowns accuse the judge of theatrics.

It's MAGA 101 shit. I hope more judges follow this man's example more often.

Losing them tons of money is the only way to make the faceless corporates pay attention and take action. I hope they do it.
