Only a matter of time before Trump renames them the Indians by Executive Order

Unless God exercises His Ultimate Veto and cuts his term short.

It’s been a common trick for a long time on the right to equate simple disagreement with censorship, and use that as an excuse to practice actual censorship when they take over.

They do it because it works. Not only does it lead to more direct sales, but the app is scraping data that can be further used to generate sales, either to the user directly or sale of their data to third parties. And people who don’t like their habits being gamified will simply not install the app.

How many people are going to say “I refuse to go to Dunkin because they went too far gamifying their rewards program in their shitty app I never use”? Probably close to zero. So, the cost of doing it is whatever they pay their offshore contractors, who probably can’t afford to come visit the US, much less go to Dunkin for awful coffee every day.

Yeah, that is more incompetence than I am used to. When we get driving bans and other emergency declarations, the local news will put that crawly thing on the bottom of the screen letting us know what’s up. I bet they get complaints when it covers up the score of the game.

I live in an area that gets snow regularly. When we get a storm, there are precisely three things the news can report on:

• When they think it will stop
• Are the roads driveable
• Are there school or business closings

If there is nothing to report in those three topics, then it’s just another slow news day. Just be glad they’re not making TV news reports about trending Social Media topics, that’s what our local news gets into when they run out of Sinclair propaganda (or Bills highlights) to run.

This is because you are not the customer. Your employer is the customer, they are the ones who get to choose the HSA provider for their employees. You are the goods to be sold. The HSA provider is simply harvesting profits.

They need more room for bots

Oh snap

An interesting thing I found out from this article is that the drop in demand is due to non-Chinese companies not being able to compete in the Chinese market. The incoming tariff war will only make this worse. Donald Trump may be thinking he is putting American Manufacturing first, but in reality he is cutting off American companies from the largest market in the world.

A broken clock can be right three times a day, if it breaks between 2AM and 3AM on the day of the DST change…

The problem is our investment economy that focuses only on the stock prices continually going up. It’s literally an unsustainable system.

Yup, this is the problem right here. Investments are supposed to generate returns, that’s the whole point. But Milton Friedman and Jack Welch decided that the sole mission of any company was to increase shareholder value, and the rest of the world rolled with that. So whenever these CEOs point to their Mission and Vision statements, unless they say “Our only priority is delivering returns to our Shareholders”, they are lying.

Economist Milton Friedman introduced the Friedman doctrine in a 1970 essay for The New York Times, entitled “A Friedman Doctrine: The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits”.[5] In it, he argued that a company has no social responsibility to the public or society; its only responsibility is to its shareholders.[6]

Meanwhile, we’ve decided that these corporations are people. Psychopaths who have no moral responsibilities to anyone but their shareholders, but people nonetheless.

Hey, there’s a key difference with this case vs. all the other cases. It’s a civil lawsuit that Trump instigated. So he is the plaintiff here, he is on the offense in the lawsuit. Shouldn’t he want to give his side of the story? And if he delays this one, wouldn’t the judge be well within their rights to say “If you can’t tell us what he did that warrants a penalty, shouldn’t we just drop all this”?

And actually, I think this is the outcome Trump wants. He doesn’t want to actually win this. He wants the judge to throw it out for entirely sane reasons, because it’s one more thing to complain about and he knows his followers won’t look into the key differences between this and other cases.

If your only platform is grievance, you need new grievances to keep things fresh, even if you manufacture them yourself.

Not their kids, they can afford the vaccines at list price. It’s the poors who will die, as Supply Side Jesus intended.

We’re gonna party like it’s 1899
