The last major antitrust action on this scale in the U.S. 8 years to process.

This type of lawsuit is why the billionaire bro’s are backing the senile rapist and felon. Making them play somewhat fair ruins their business plan.

Firing middle managers is a fun way to kill the company. Not that cleaning house is a bad idea. Unfortunately the people making decisions of who to keep and who to let go are usually idiots.

Middle Managers are promoted for two reasons: technical expertise and ass-kissing expertise. Now the technical experts tend to not mix well with incompetent parasitic c-suite types idiots. The ass-kissers are beloved by the c-suite as that is their only role in life.

So when firings come around guess who they get rid of? Then 1-3 years later everyone is shocked when everything starts to fall apart.

They also need to remove the limited liability from companies for intentional illegal activities.

illegal business practices should be charged to the people involved instead of the company. The executives who made the decision to break the law lose personal assets.

Otherwise the shitheads just pass the company losses onto the employees: no raises, hiring freezes, layoffs, reduction in benefits, etc…

The lies that people tell themselves. Frostbite says bullshit to that. When it gets that cold staying warm is not easy. Especially when the wind starts to blow.

My very first job was in Minnesota and the snow is not what you have to be afraid of.

It’s the damn frigid temperatures. My wife and I quit our jobs, broke our lease, packed up and moved to California after one delightful -27F day.

With a scope an AK style gun is effectively maxed out at 300m. After that their accuracy is too low to reliably hit the target. They are designed to put out a spray of bullets at closer ranges. In WWII most combat occured at ranges under 200m so they are effective for what they were designed for.

Very good for combat, not so good for sniping.

I have been using custom start menus since the whole win8 full screen disaster. Every time I see the default win 10 or Win 11 menu I cringe. So much crap in the way.

Process optimization reaches a point of diminishing returns. Then if tweaked further it degrades the performance. Microsoft reached the close to the optimal OS design at Win7. It’s all been downhill since then.

The mobile OS systems are reaching the same point. Optimization has occured and most of the “new” additions degrade the user experience.

Staggered based upon gross income just like personal taxes.

Tiny businesses 5% Small businesses 25% Mid sized companies 50%. Mega-corporations wth billions - 95%

Likely had a long list of disciplinary actions against him that daddy squashed with a nice big donation.

Based on the rest of his life I would guess, sexual assault, cheating, plagiarism, bullying, hazing, and chronic absenteeism.

Why is basic math.

In a made up scenario let’s start with a dumb 50"ish TV. That cost them around $100 to build. Add in another $50 for shipping and distribution fees. It’s at the store for $150 cost. If they set the price at $400. There is $250 dollars of profit to share between the store and the manufacturer. The manufactuerer likely gets under $100.

Now for a smart TV the revenue stream looks different. First their costs only go up by a few dollars for adding the “smart” chips. So let’s say $155 cost. Then they collect revenue from the streaming providers to be supported by their smart TV say $30 per set. Then they collect the $20 per set per year in user data collected. So if they price the smart TV the same as the dumb one they generate $95 from the sale of the set.

So the profit from a dumb TV is $100 at he point of sale.

The profit from a smart TV is $225+ in a constant revenue stream over 5 years.

And this is why we see so much advertising for smart TV’s as being the best thing.

If you compared wait times in Canada versus wait times in the U.S., Canada would probably be shorter overall.

The U.S. system creates artificial shortages in many different areas. They seek optimal profitablity by staffing slightly below what the need requires. This shortage justifies charging higher prices.

You can also probably blame some of the long wait times in Canada for things on the U.S. Specialist in the U.S. make a lot more money.

My best guess based upon the old perverted felons he associates with:

…To rape teen girls and young women so that their “superior” genetics can be passed on to more offspring.

I feel dirty now…

They were a bit more tricky than that I believe. They capped the user page at 3 years of search. So when you delete everything using those scripts it deletes the newer stuff but misses all the older ones. Then after the script runs it shows - no comments.

Introduced in the late 90’s if I recall correctly. He should the the older pension that guaranteed income.

The heyday of the forums. For about 2 years the combination of Tapatalk and forums was awesome. Centralized interface with no ads, all the discussion.

Then they both gutted their functionality and spammed in the ads.

Go back and check again. They are actively restoring deleted comments. About once a month I log back on and delete another round. Usually another 10-15 “mysteriously” pop back up again.

I had that T-shirt as well. Wore it to school all the time. Never got a comment on it.

A very strategic pick.

“Think of the children” (both him and his wife were teachers).

Did Richard “Gerbil” Gere say that?

If you noticed in the article, most of these schools are based on Utah. It combines two things that Mormons are very good at: abusing teenagers and making
money in dubious/illegal ways.

The state laws are lax, the child protective services and schools are underfunded, and culturally parents attempt to exert extreme control over their teenagers and barely adults.
