Billionaires are so self obsessed they literally think their presence is a gift to the point they consider existing a service they're providing.

The blood from a stone thing is really reaching a tipping point.

Me and my girlfriend haven't gone out for a meal in over a year. I don't know anybody who regularly goes to restaurants anymore and if they do it's to see a live band and drink booze they brought from home in the parking lot.

At a certain point the people will theoretically just not have any money to spend and then no amount of business school wisdom is going to get somebody with $5 to pay $20 for a burger.

"Huh that's not what the price tag said" dumps it on the ground

"Huh that's not what thenprice tag said" *dumps it on the ground *

Yea I know this is "punishing minimum wage workers" in the short term but at a certain point there's gotta be pushback on this shit.

Yea it'll suck in the short term, hopefully all the grocery store workers start refusing to work anywhere this is a policy. Or better yet people would refuse to continue to shop anywhere this was a thing but hoping for Americans to consume less out of principle is the most useless plan maybe of all time.

It's kind of like when I have to sit on hold for 30 minutes every month to figure out how my insurance company managed to fuck up me giving them $600 and getting nothing in return this month. I understand the person I'm talking to is just a worker but they chose to work for a company who's company policy is to fuck over their customers, I have less sympathy than most especially if the employees attitude is anything short of "fuck these bullshit artist parasites"

Another example of making up words to get mad about.

NEET would have been "people not willing to be scammed.

Now you're expected to let people take advantage of you or you're doing aonething wrong.

Wild that people wont work a job if the full time job doesn't pay them enough to live.

The amount of CYA language in the manual is fucking astonishing.

The whole thing is apparently one big version of those stickers you see on the back of work trucks saying they aren't responsible for damage caused by unsecured loads flying out of the back of their vehicle.

It would get you drummed out of court if you ever tried to argue it wasn't a completely hollow threat, but apparently that completely hollow threat is effective enough to justify their existence.

Is the first page of the manual just "your problem now, sucker!"

The billionaires yearn for the icy black void.

"It's even funnier the second time"

Honestly think we might be onto something here.

Just sell an annual trip to the center of the earth for 2 billion dollars.

It's just a tube that goes straight down for 2000'. Well slowly (and then at a rapidly increasing rate) grt rid of everybody who thinks they're too rich for negative consequences to apply to them.

What finally totally ripped the bandaid off for me on catholicism was when I had to go to confirmation classes in the next diocese over. That church had a young new priest who just got transferred there from a couple hours away.

Who wants to guess why that priest had to be transferred a couple hours away.

Oh wow a dedicated button that opens up the Google homepage but it enthusiastically lies to you.

Good.

Everytime they do this a nato country has an energy crisis and a new third world country gets a new very reasonably priced supply of oil.

Now if the Europeans could stop reacting to those energy crisis by electing people who want to power their homes by pressing immigrants into oil we'd be all set.

Yea that happens every election. Only major party candidates get to be in the debate, they just tweak the wording of the hoops you have to jump through and keep adding more if you get through the first couple.

If he'd met every requirement they'd set forth, they would just add another one that was "and also the cable networking hosting rhe debate has to approve you"

The fact he was able to tame two ravens legitimately increases my respect for the guy.
