Everything old is new again.
  • That still makes no sense. Cabs have no affiliation (e.g. yellow cab) with Uber. I doubt any cab driver cares about Uber PINs. What am I missing?

  • Everything old is new again.
  • Why would you give a regular taxi driver an Uber PIN? You just walk up to a taxi and get in.

  • Elon Musk Begs Advertisers to Return as Twitter's Revenue Plunges
  • I think he might be starting to go mad.

  • CEO pay is rising faster than it has in a decade — and 3 times as fast as worker wages
  • The term 'CEO' is just individuals who exploit legal loopholes to unjustly enrich themselves at the expense of others, while being rewarded for such unethical practices. They serve no real value that can't be accomplished by those under them.

  • PSA.
  • Cockrings are dumb, and they deserve this if it happens to them.

  • The US healthcare system is broken...
  • It's crazy how we call health insurance, insurance. All it does is slightly discount the bill. It doesn't insure anything.

  • L.A. County wants to cap rent hikes at 3%. Landlords say that would push them to sell
  • I have no vested interest, as I'm not a landlord. My point is that people generally won't settle for less when they can earn more. Regardless of how essential the item or service is, businesses and individuals will always aim to maximize their earnings if the market allows it. It would be a poor financial decision not to. Whether someone feels resentful because others profit off of them (which, by the way, is all of us in America when we buy foreign goods who use children for harvesting raw materials or other labor), it's irrelevant to the situation. It isn't going to change until God changes it.

  • L.A. County wants to cap rent hikes at 3%. Landlords say that would push them to sell
  • If the government gets involved, the owners will just sell, making homeownership even more unaffordable and reducing rent options. What you want is less greed in the world, and that isn't going to happen in its current state.

  • L.A. County wants to cap rent hikes at 3%. Landlords say that would push them to sell
  • Yes, but it isn't fair to expect anyone to provide housing at their own personal loss. I agree that people need homes, and we're on the same page there. However, consider it this way. If you could earn more by charging a higher amount, would you charge less out of generosity, or would you try to maximize your income? This applies to anything. If you're selling a car, would you sell it for less just to be nice, or would you sell it to the highest bidder? People need cars too. You see my point?

  • L.A. County wants to cap rent hikes at 3%. Landlords say that would push them to sell
  • While I sympathize with high rent prices, it's still no different than say someone who owns a Wedding venue and rents out the location, tables, chairs, etc. They paid for the initial investment and are making money off of it through rental. That's how investments work. Otherwise, what benefit is there to owning it outside of selling it outright.

  • Nothing to do with rigged elections or propaganda. People are realizing that neither party represents the people. It's a fact.

  • Google ad on a magazine from 1999
  • All these companies start off with altruistic intentions and then become evil. Money and power is helluva drug.

  • CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information
  • Hrmm, couldn't be the 3rd world outsourced coding, could it?

  • Being an adult is so fun
  • This. Sometimes it's even cheaper than making a meal at home depending on what you get.

  • Norway has some surprising stats
  • Yes, but it's not the same atmosphere, story, or visuals. It went from a serious tone to very Disneyesque.

  • Norway has some surprising stats
  • And yet, they closed the Noway ride 'Maelstrom' at Epcot. I'm still sad.
