I agree, but there's no way that's going to work after tomorrow, right?

Of-fucking-course CNN and the dumpster fire they've become wouldn't even mention that Huy Fong did this to themselves by lying to and defrauding their exclusive pepper grower:

The peppers are what made the sauce, literally. Without them, there's many better chili sauces...

Don't forget that the API won't provide access to any NSFW sub. (There's a lot of reasons a sub might have NSFW posts besides just pr0n.) So Reddit literally expects people to pay for less content. It's absolutely bananas...

The image of the poor developers working in a cave, struggling to make money is only in our mind.

GNU/Linux made this software in a cave! With a box of scraps!!!

I get the desire to strengthen the eastern edge of NATO countries like Poland and Lithuania... But I think Russia/Wagner have bigger priorities at the moment. I don't think they went to Belarus just to ignore Ukraine and launch a hopeless attack on the entirety of NATO.

I hear what you're saying, but we're not talking about a single-mother sneaking diapers out because she needs them or a Jean Valjean-type taking bread because they're hungry...

This is OCR (Organized Retail Theft) where a team of 3+ people coordinate with phones, distractions, and a driver, to quickly get as many high-dollar, shelf-stable items out of a store as possible to resell on Facebook marketplace/eBay/etc. It's typically at least $1000 per store.

If you hate large organizations, you should hate the greed of criminal rings like this, because we all absolutely pay more because of it...

EDIT: I'm just talking about what the article is referring to. I'm not saying companies don't pass the costs on to consumers, and I'm not casting moral judgement.

We spell it different too!? I literally thought it was spelled "aluminum" the world over! My opinion may do a 180 on this one...
