That's completely arbitrary though. They could also increase prices without any interchange fee. If people are willing to pay, the price goes up. Cost (of which the interchange fee is but one) only affects the lowest possible price. No

I don't know about other companies, but I don't really interact with my manager outside of 1 on 1s like once a quarter. Also, it's never his choice to fire someone, it's always from above. I'm sure if he was forced

It's a living thing. It can be understood and lived with harmoniously. That's the job of the stronger, smarter thing to identify. If your bar for ethics is sentience, then fuck trees right? Well no, because you would identify tree

Killing something because it mistakenly wandered into your periphery isn't exactly what I'd call pragmatic. If our solar system drifts too close to another civilization I don't want to get squashed. That's the maxim. We

I can appreciate that the direction for this commercial was "just play the game and we'll find a good 2 second cut". I'm just worried that I'm seeing people compliment an advertisement. It's the kind of overt e

I'm not sure I understand, I'm just seeing a very clearly staged 2 second clip of product usage and reaction like you'd see in any commercial.

The people that he bought the company from already got the money, which was more money than they could get on the open market. They don't give a fuck what he does with his company now. If you think he's tanking his own company t

As someone who wants all of the other things he's supposed to be building, I can't imagine how you would not see Twitter as an objective step back. Every single change he has made to Twitter is exclusively to claw back income from

Anyone using the bank signed a contract that defined how a failure affects them. There is absolutely a moral, philosophical, and biblical truth behind honoring that contract. Galatians 3:15: "To give a human example, brothers: even wit

And we're saying that's not how that works. When the FDIC takes over the bank, they pay out all of the insured deposits, sell all of the assets, and distribute the remaining funds, which in cases like this one are not enough to co

Not sure how you think I "made this political" if you read the first post. I was just balancing the perspective. I'd rather have a president get sucked off than openly commit acts of treason, if that's the equivalency yo

Could say the same thing about a former President publicly admitting to committing crimes, and half of the country not caring. Never before in history have so many people been so openly evil. Maybe the takeaway is that they've actually
