Is that the climate change activists that fly private planes around the world to exotic hot locations where new facilities were built with fully air-conditioned spaces where they eat $10,000 steaks while lecturing the commoners about eating

When it comes down to is, the failure of Thomas Cook comes down to a single thing, the inability to have any kind of forward looking strategy and ability to adapt to changes. This story has been told at least dozens of times now in the last

On one hand I agree that it shouldn't be because government should require that both, sufficient reserves exist to deliver on contracts to consumers, and that consumers always have the first priority on any kind of claims against a ban

Thanks for the reply, even if you are seemingly being snarky about it. Yes, Australia has a similar tax burden overall, even though it is still higher, especially since it is way more heavily weighted towards the middle class with $37,001

Thank you for your reporting on this, even if it just seems to chronicle the ever accelerating deconstruction of the Constitution. Even if American Constitutionalists were able to walk back these types of clear abuses on the social compact

I totally agree, but unfortunately, the very origins of that issue lies squarely in the very cause for why these types of things cannot be solved, because the authoritarian paternalistic types who think they helping just keep making the Gor

Let's recognize that the headline should read: Amazon Will Cut Health-Care Benefits for Nearly 2k Whole Foods Employees I am guessing that due to the food perspective of the blog they focused on the Whole Foods aspect of the story, but

On an aside, and I know this is a shot in the dark, but does anyone know where to find a copy of the seemingly impromptu talk Zuckerberg gave some several years ago now, where he explained that he wanted Facebook to replace the internet? It

Once you look at the revised numbers and you then start unpacking all the lies contained in the CPI you start understanding that it's a literal con job, a trick of confidence. There are some people who try to provide alternative accura

I am quite certain the tariffs went from 10% to 25%, so only actually a 15% in crease. The real reason for the remaining increases are probably a combination of domestic Chinese pressures and the inflation machine Obama started and Trump ha

I doubt you are thinking of that “cost” properly … no one seems to accurately as far as I have been able to tell over several decades now. The whole debate over healthcare is dominated by one of two different mindsets; either based in utter

My thought too. I also did not get the sense that someone who “ended up billing at $300/hr and was still struggling with month to month work is someone who really realized the full cost of self-employment, because that is what he was r

It’s interesting you mention the shopping site. I have found their site horrible ever since the beginning and only marginally better since done of their belabored efforts to polish some things. I feel like both WAS and the shopping UI/

So we are essentially talking about a more accessible and immediate forum, not really anything more; this forum you are currently reading, transposed into a group chat functionality, like the yahoo chat rooms of the 90s, on mobile. That’s a

I suspect it's all just PR trying to get ahead of the administration diddling with thoughts of breaking up all the tech cartels. After all, if no one notices good deeds, they don't count, right? It's the currency liberal Ame

That's interesting and also essentially nullifies Brave's credibility as some kind of privacy browser. Either they are ignorantly unaware or they are complicit in supporting wikipedia, one of the many digital organizations that h

Google talking about enhancing privacy on the web reeks of the sulfurous lies of Satan speaking through his children on earth. Google has 0 incentive to actually introduce privacy, let alone anonymity or Constitutional rights to free speech

Although this is seemingly only my own belief, I get the sense that the difference between how those things are handled even between the USA and in general how that relationship exists in Europe, is the strong emphasis of separation of powe

People who have an inverted sense of prestige from the use of credit cards. That's who. It's really not a health or even all that smart community once you start thinking about it. It's almost like the Apple Card is a kind of

I guess it wasn't enough that they cut your wrists when using their MBP, now they want you to bleed every time you pull out their card. I see a disturbing trend here. Who knew that metal has sharp 90º edges? On a side note: This make

You're missing the obvious solution ... not being authoritarian vile people that censor what others legally say and do in public. It has been disconcerting to me for a long time now, even back when I was told that I do not know how the

It's a persistent fallacy to assume that sunniness and heat equal more solar power. Reality is that heat decreases the efficiency of solar, so, the hotter it is, the less efficient solar will be.
