Just remember Ethan Couch in 2013 diagnosed with Afluenza, A condition where someone is too rich to understand the consequences of their actions.

He was 16. He and a bunch of friends went to Walmart. They stole beer and drove drunk. He killed 4 people on the side of the road. A passenger in his car suffered brain damage and was paralyzed.

This kid was sentenced with a 10 year parole. He violated that parole by going to a party to drink. He and his mom fled to Mexico to avoid punishment. He was captured and then given a 720 day sentence in prison.

He murdered 4 people and paralyzed one of his friends. He got parole. Violated parole. Fled the country. And then was given 2 years in prison.

30 day vacations for all.

This is the same government that says using an ad blocker, vpn, custom rom, linux and or encrypted messaging service puts you at higher suspicion of being a terrorist.

I see them enacting these policies now as the large number of pro labor protests fighting the government all over the country on pensions “reform”.

Any smart home stuff. The story with Amazon shutting down someone’s account and all their devices is terrifying. Frankly I should probably unplug my smart speakers.

The Apple Watch is neat for health stuff but I don’t see a need for another device to charge.

OLED and Mini/MicroLED screens for PWM sensitivity. Even LED lights are starting to hurt my head.

VR/AR is just Ready Player One stuff.

Absolutely no. Facebook is absolutely terrible. Keep them racist Karen boomers away,

If companies are deemed to big to fail then they need to be nationalized.

This reminds me of the Simpson episode where they are negotiating a new contract. It’s the same as the old one expect the they replace the dental plan with a keg of beer.

Season 4 Episode 17 “Last Exit to Springfield” .

Globally

Probably being one of those exploited slaves in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the hand dug tunnels to mine cobalt. Or indebted slaves in Pakistan who spend their whole lives making bricks for taking out predatory loans.

But where I live any manual labor as I am very accident prone, or DMV and Postoffice.

Near me they built a pedestrian friendly trendy gentrified plaza. I looked on google maps. The parking lot is 5 times the size of the plaza.

I would feel less offended if on every bill they would just raise the price my 20% and give that to the workers.

-2025 Humans back in the Moon

-Late 2020’s early 2030’s new missions to Venus

-Late 2030’s drone to Saturns Moon Titan

-2030’s maybe Humans on Mars

There is a 3% tax added specifically to cover extra pay for Airport Workers. Why are you being asked to tip for a self service kiosk.

I hate this. If I don’t tip I’m an asshole. If I tip I let companies pay their workers like garbage.

Dear companies. Pay your employees more. Frankly I’d be less insulted if they just rose the price by 20% then asking me to tip. IMHO if they employers did this they would just pocket the difference.

And I’m guessing bus boys are paid even less than the server.

I want to say maybe 20% to 30%.

It’s very scary. As an ethnic minority I am only as safe as my government lets me be.

You can go from democratic Weimar Republic to Nazi Germany in a space of a few years.

The covid national emergency is declared over. Potentially up to 15 million people will lose Medicaid expansion. Florida already kicked off 600,000 people. An 87 year old who had a daily care taker lost access even though they were qualified after the cut. A 7 year old boy will now die because they took access to his leukemia treatment. About half the people still qualify but they are making everyone reapply.

My dad some how affords stupidly expensive healthcare. Premiums are $4,000 a month. ER copay is $1000. ER deductible is $18,400 per family. My mom is now on a medication that costs $1400 a day. With other meds her medication is $15,800 a month for the rest of her life (she is 59). With insurance it goes down to $28 She has had $100,000 in medical bills. She has some super rare condition. Our insurance said one of the out of network doctors was covered. My mom verified multiple times. Now they don’t want to cover that doctor so we are stuck with a $25,000 medical bill. My mom says she will put it on the lowest amount a month for the rest of her life.

In other words if my dad couldn’t afford this insurance she probably would be dead now or in a few months.

Crazy is that we are all Canadian and if we lived there we could go on OHIP plus extra insurance for a few hundred bucks a month. For those who say Canadian’s have wait times, so do we. The difference is you will be seen and will not go medically bankrupt or denied care because you are too poor.

The excuse is that Canadians come to America for better doctors with lower wait times. They do. But when you realize they come to the States they don’t have long term insurance. Meaning they pay out of pocket. So it’s wealthy Canadians that can afford insanely high prices.

All my family in Canada says my father is pissing away money. He is.

God Bless American Healthcare! /s

TLDR Doug Ford can sod off and go to hell.

I just wanted to know where Ken lived.

Learning about Space. There we’re working miniature prototypes of a ship to get humans up to 12% of Speed of Light. Project Orion worked by blasting nuclear bombs behind a ram jets once per second.

Cash bail does not work. My dad has a friend who got caught for raping kids. His bail was $2 million. The parents paid the 10% up front. The guy was put u set house arrest. He always needed to be watched. No kids anywhere near him. During the sentencing of the trial this child rapist ran off out of the country.

Also Sam Bankman-Fried.

I just deleted my Facebook and Twitter.

Reddit killed Apollo so I now am using wef wef for Lemmy.
