One of the benefits of big bureaucracy (whether public or private) is that it's super easy to shift the blame around so nobody is ever held responsible for anything and there's little accountability.

Not in Chicago that's for sure. The city where you have to pay an 'entertainment tax' on your Netflix subscription.
I've never heard of them so I googled it and these fucking things are $500 per plate to start from some private company and are listed as a "theft deterrent." Apparently they don't realize that it takes 20 seconds and a screwdriver to defeat these.
What a stupid idea and I'm pissed that yet another private company gets to take over a government function and charge high fees (after just returning from a trip where a bunch of vultures were circling the security lines trying to get people to sign up for Clear+, another private company, at $199/yr in order to bypass the long TSA checkpoint).
$700 is a bargain. My kid got a speech tablet which is just a small Samsung tablet with a speaker mounted on the back and they billed our insurance $3500 for it.
I think Luigi Mangione is the martyr here.

Why would you want to make things safe for pests?
This is just like Tulsi Gabbard and a slew of other Democrats, which is why it's important to hold the party and it's leadership accountable rather than just being sycophants that support anyone with a D next to their name. Too many Democratic voters refuse to listen to any sort of criticism against party members and this is the result of that.
This reminds me of all those times police bust out the 'jailhouse informant' who claims their suspect miraculously confessed every single detail to them after sitting in a cell with this complete stranger for just a few hours.
I get the joke but it still doesn't exist for anyone that matters. You see free markets, you attack violently
"Free markets" is a complete farce. The only free markets are in places where no government exists like Somalia. In a true free market, anyone could take over a business by sheer force since no laws would be there to protect them.
Wait until you get an adult job where they don't treat you like a criminal/thief/moocher by default.
