  • Did everyone in the comments suffer brain damage and forget about Hertz and its bullshit AI “scratch and dent” scanners? Or the hotels charging non-smokers $500 “smoking” fees because an AI smoke detector said so? Do people defending this shitty company not see the obvious and unavoidable conflict of interest companies have to make a system like this overly sensitive in order to rack up fines? It would be one thing if the threat was a ban from the service, but it’s just so clearly an excuse to generate more profits I’m shocked this needs to be pointed out.

  • REI was never worker owned or operated; it was a member coop (meaning anyone who bought a membership got one vote on the board), not a worker coop.

  • The relevant law (the Clayton Act) requires the judge to “terminate” the monopoly, but that happens…rarely.

  • This Be The Verse by Philip Larkin

    They fuck you up, your mum and dad.   

        They may not mean to, but they do.   

    They fill you with the faults they had

        And add some extra, just for you.

    But they were fucked up in their turn

        By fools in old-style hats and coats,   

    Who half the time were soppy-stern

        And half at one another’s throats.

    Man hands on misery to man.

        It deepens like a coastal shelf.

    Get out as early as you can,

        And don’t have any kids yourself.

  • They aren’t MAGA as much as they are capitalist, and MAGA is in power right now

  • Maybe in the long run, but corporate profits are sky high at present. Best believe there’s more juice they’re gonna squeeze from this rind.

  • Criti-hype

  • Doesn’t calling it the Department of War make it easier to defund and eventually dismantle, though?

  • This doesn’t seem to be a NIV issue.

    When people who are fighting injure a pregnant woman so that there is a miscarriage and yet no further harm follows, the one responsible shall be fined what the woman’s husband demands

    —Exodus 21:22, NRSV

    May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.

    —Numbers 5:22, NRSV

    What translation(s) are you referring to that seem to suggest something different?

  • Actually God only demands a monetary fine if you cause a miscarriage in someone who didn’t want one (Exodus 21), and requires that you drink a potion that will give you a miscarriage if you got pregnant by someone who isn’t your husband (Numbers 5). If only those Republicans could read their own Bible, they would be very upset.

  • Valve represents the acme of capitalism, with likely the highest profit per employee of any corporation that has ever existed, and you’re out here sucking them off?
