That was even more fucked up than it originally seemed, it turned out they knew the map was wrong years ago but just didn’t actually update their map. It was criminal negligence by those specific people who were informed of the school but failed to carry out their duty and instead allowed the school to remain on the targets list. There is no reason those specific people couldnt eventually be prosecuted if the rule of law is restored.
It is true that “market forces” used to be somewhat tempered by cultural ideals around how news media was supposed to operate. Recent decades have seen an increasingly profit driven management as US media has transformed into a much more consolidated industry under the control of fewer and fewer corporations. The US media has always been “capitalist”, but it also has a history of at least giving pretense to serving the public good.
I’ve never seen the New York Post described as “esteemed” before.
Sinema was actually in the Green party before becoming a Democrat. There was a time where her being a Leftist was believable.
You could tax tires, it avoids all the tracking while still distributing road maintenance costs based off actual use of the roads.
I don’t, I quit Facebook almost a decade ago and then Reddit when they did the API bullshit. I do still end up on Reddit sometimes through search results but I nuked my account and will never create another one. I’m not exactly a purist about FOSS or decentralized platforms but corpo social media is dead to me.
There is a balance though or else the system feedback breaks the economy. Too much deflation and the “progress” stops because it starts making more and more sense for people to hold off on spending their money as much as they can. As an extreme example, if you know you can buy twice as much of something for the same dollar tomorrow, you must really need that thing right now to justify not waiting for a day. Scale that behavior across the entire population and it can start producing real problems.
As far as I’m aware there’s not really a feasible path to miniaturization for most of the current medical scanning technologies. Physics and materials science are fundamental barriers.
It depends on what the extraterrestrials are like. I think its probable they would be as incomprehensible to us as we are to fish or bugs. I am confident that a significant percentage of people will immediately freak out and react with aggression regardless of what they are like, and that the wealthy will be looking for any way to make money from them, even if it means selling out life on earth.
Which country? Consumer fuel prices have been subsidized to artificially suppress them in a number of places, Brazil for example. The profits are still being made but the rise in prices is being shifted onto the public via govt. debt so it gets paid through future taxes instead of showing up immediately at the pump.
I remember when they were calling it “Plandemic” and insisted liberals were trying to turn the US into a dictatorship. Funny how it all worked out and yet nothing was learned.
Somewhere between $90 and $120.
8 to 10 is ideal. Below 5 or 6 is not ripe. Above 10 is banana bread territory.
Do you consider the cartels to be corporations? They operate like corporations but exist without the sanction of governments.
Mostly no. If you are in a VHCOL area and have a lot of financial obligations, like a large family to support for example, it’s really not that much. Outside those circumstances its enough income to support a middle class lifestyle in any developed country on earth.
ARR is around 30b, valuation is over 800b.
Yes, it is one of the main reasons I started paying for Kagi. Google search is designed first and foremost to serve you up to advertisers who pay Google.
