Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that?
  • I finally was able to cancel a Telus home security service after they tried to put me in a 3 yr contract. I finally was able to cancel. I sent the equipment back and then they started charging me other monthly fees as if I had renewed. I didn't even have their equipment anymore.

    another 45 minutes on the phone and they say it is finally cancelled. But who knows. I'll probably have to call again when they take the amount from my bank account despite removing my bank info from their site.

    A company with 19.2M users. Imagine how many people are robbed "by mistake." This is not a mistake but part of their internal procedures.

    Cancelling a service even when contract is over is made difficult on purpose.

  • Venezuela’s opposition trounced Maduro, election receipts show
  • How did the world react when Bush and Gore election results were questioned and it was decided that despite Gore having more votes Bush won? I'm not saying Maduro held fair elections but the only reason the G7 countries want to remove the dictator is so the oil can be extracted for private companies. Not because of the nature of the current government. If this were the case they wouldn't have wreaked chaos all over south America, the middle East, Asia and Africa by replacing democratic governments with dictators throughout the past 75 years.

  • Argentina posts largest monthly primary surplus yet under Milei
  • Define "healthy" economy? Would you say the USA & Europe are "healthy" economies? Would you agree that poverty, a constantly increasing wealth gap and access to affordable housing, medicine and education are some factors that define an economy's "health" ?

  • Who else wakes up and has to blow their nose or clear their airways every morning and why?
  • Yes, snoring and waking up from a dream where you were suffocating or couldn't breathe for one reason or another. My girlfriend sometimes wakes me up because she thinks I'm choking. It's also worse if you happened to drink that night.

  • Who else wakes up and has to blow their nose or clear their airways every morning and why?
  • I've had the same thing for years. You should get checked for sleep apnea... I have it but unfortunately the CPAP machines don't let me sleep. I cannot get used to it.

    But I sneeze at least 50 times and blow my nose as much for one or two hours after waking up.

    The rest of the day my sinuses are clear. I've asked Doctors and haven't gotten any real solutions.

    Spotify quietly moves lyrics behind a paywall.
  • My biggest problem is the censure. I'm in my car, "hey google play teenage dirt bag on spotify". Sounds great until the "her boyfriends a dick he brings a [silence]. And he'd simply kick my ass..."

    Or Jay-Z story of OJ : "rich jigga, poor jigga, house jigga, field jigga"

    What? Seriously loses all context and meaning.

    Spotify redefining the message of whatever was happening... Some cracker ass Swedish company censuiring the n-word when used by an artform that is legitimate and on purpose.

    That's why I collect vinyl. Can't change that shit up on my listening it. It's the way it is. If Jay Z wanted to use the N word then I want to hear it like it is. Not some bullshit "jigga" shit wtf is that? Isn't it denying his message?

  • Argentina’s Inflation Hits 211% in 2023, Fastest Gain in Three Decades
  • Milei boot licking the IMF by privatizing resources and public services will end up like it did last time. Middle class will become poorer, child poverty and pollution will worsen and the wealth gap will get worse.
