Judge blocks Biden administration rule capping credit card late fees at $8
Reply in thread
He just put an injunction in place which is common. It just means the case has to be decided first.
If he’s accusing them of venue shopping. I suspect he’s going to rule against them.

Moderation conflict involving c/vegan
@lwadmin For full disclosure I agree with rooki on this topic.
I may have missed it in the write up but I think the vegan mods needlessly escalated the situation by trying to ban and remove comments from an admin.
I am not saying I always agree with rooki but I respect his job as an admin.
The mods of vegan treated him disrespectfully in his capacity as an admin by deleting and banning him.
You should cover this in your terms of service.

Is there a specific example of Target getting a shoplifter felony convicted for a small individual theft that puts them over the felony limit?
Target has their own crime lab. No joke.

Or how about we just don’t execute people? I find the practice a little pointless and barbaric.

The way to solve this is union busting needs to be a criminal offense.

Kristi Noem defends dog slaying as ‘responsible’
Reply in thread
It’s her story. So who knows if it’s true? I’ve had to put animals down. Most of us have. It’s not something you turn into a story to tell people. It’s a painful experience for most people.
The way she’s telling it. It makes me think less of her.

How working for Big Tech lost 'dream job' status
Reply in thread
I work in medium tech. Since they have to compete for talent. We get the high pay and work life flexibility. It’s much better than large tech. I would never go work for a Microsoft , Amazon or Google. Not worth it.

I’m generally against acquisitions for this reason. So many companies just want to be acquired instead of running a company.
I can’t think of one large acquisition that benefited consumers

Shit. It may have been but you don’t talk about it. Much less brag about it. That’s a weird story to tell to get people to like you.

As far as I know they’re civil penalties and not criminal.
The only way this stops is sending people to prison.
I’m not a union person myself, nor do I want to be but companies unfairly try to smash legal unions activities.
They get a smack on the hand, a fine but the union is smashed.
Do you think the ceo would allow illegally activity or even questionable if he was looking at twenty years in prison ?

His mentor says hillbilly elegy was written to propel him into politics. So I find it hard to believe he wasn’t interested when that was the reason for the book

You’ll see that in Oregon. Middle of nowhere then off in the distance you’ll see the compound.
There is a house by me that has a foot ball field in the backyard a pond and a running track.
Who builds a football field field in the backyard?

Latino doesn’t mean Spanish speaking. That’s Hispanic.
While Spanish is the largest language. It’s not the only language.

Asking for moderator Rooki's removal for misconduct

I think it's funny they thought they could censor an admin. I fully support Rooki on this.

The mods deleted the admins comment and tried to ban him from the community. That’s a no no in my book.
If the mods felt rooki was wrong, they shouldn’t have tried to display a power trip with their actions. They should have escalated to other admins.
Rooki deescalated by removing them as mods. That stopped their childish behavior.

Agreed. I have no issues with capitalism but I have a huge issue with monopolies. Just buying out the competition isn’t competing.
