Inflation is largely not a problem, corporate price gouging accounts for the bulk of increases. Price gouging increases are an enormous fucking problem for people. Calling it inflation is their script, don’t adopt their language.
Consolidation or competitors that has been allowed almost unabated the last 25 years exacerbates the effects.
Just like the letter I got yesterday from an ISP I haven’t done business with in 4 years, letting me know my birthdate and SSN were compromised. Why did they even maintain it if they didn’t have a need for it? Also, why did an ISP need that in the first place…
They offered 1 year of credit monitoring. Lol. I’ll wait for the class action.
And by super intelligence we mean connected to a lot of things and able to wreak significant havoc, but absolutely fucking worthless for complex thought.

People also just get confused by terminology and the mechanics and do it on accident, though much less common if state isn’t including it on voter reg for sure.
The genesis of this post was a family member in a very blue state, who went to an ivy league school and is extremely progressive and was sick of blue/red and googled “independent party” in her state and when I sent her the party platform she was registered for she lost her mind.
Political parties vary by state, and registration processes do also as noted elsewhere in the thread. There may not be an Independent party in your state, but there are in others and it causes confusion.
The point of the post is to share the point of confusion so people can read up on their registration or state party platforms. If you’re not going to bother to learn about the differences that do exist, but still want to broadly claim “election year bullshit”, maybe you’re part of the problem you’re raging about.
I’m in Oregon and it’s on the voter registration form, not required, but a big drop down with party name and no other info. Oregon is hardly red.
Picked some random states, they’re all different which is also part of the confusion when citizens move. They may not record it for the state but can those in the state still register or join a party on their own? Issue would still exist if so.
They’ve set the board, and are betting they’re too big to fail and that enough choice has been eliminated consumers won’t have viable options.
Your move America.
Is that bebop or rock steady?
United is Four Seasons compared to American.
As an employee you can enroll in our voluntary PTO insurance coverage benefit to only pay 40% of your salary to zoom while on PTO, you get to keep 60%!
The #1 feature they won’t add: I hated this job.
They always show industry jobs and suggested connections from all your jobs…if they were human and not interested in maximizing data suck they would have talked to 3-5 users out of their millions and realized people have bad job experiences and want to delete the memory, not be reprompted about it for eternity. Also, even when you decline a suggested person, imagine your worst coworker, they suggest them again later. Fucking stupid robot company
Thanks to massive lobbying, and this won’t surprise anyone on Lemmy, but cosmetics as a whole have no regulatory oversight mechanism. The FDA can recommend things and it’s up to corporations to self-regulate, which usually works well with no significant fines to deter bad actors.
Don’t let your kids use anything.
Partenered with? It’s owned by BOA, US Bank, Wells Fargo and JP Morgan Chase. Might be used by smaller folks too but was started by those goons to try to capture mobile and p2p needs and is proprietary and doubtless whores your data. Stay away.
I always see it being used in place or dishonest for people who think they are the same and feel it makes them sound more intelligent.
Holy Christ someone using disingenuous appropriately, I’d almost given up on the word. Thanks for saving it!
Didn’t mean to say venues have many options, TM needs to be broken up. Even non-profits and the like have had to sign the Ursula contract with TM as they dominate the industry so
One of the few good legal standards around bankruptcy is that unpaid wages to workers are actually, surprisingly paid out of assets prior to investors getting their cut.
