There’s no way in hell that a small business owner could afford to pay a wage even close to what I make in tips.

Sure they could. All they'd have to do is set the prices to include what would've been your tip.

This could be solved by banning all tipping, then all restaurants would have to display the honest price upfront.

If I find come across a great sale, I might as well pick it up. I wear my shoes until they disintegrate, so it takes a while to get through to the next one, so I'll have a backup of maybe 3-4. It's good to at least have one backup just in case anyway.

The market can remain irrational until the bag can be safely passed onto retail and/or bailouts are secured.

We know about that extra 10% to 15% exception by custom.

They actually get angry and insulted at "just" 10% to 15%. The standard has somehow risen to 20% at a minimum!

$185 is still way above the already ridiculous IPO price of $135. If this market made any sense, it wouldn't have gotten this high in the first place, but since we're here, it should really continue dropping. However, knowing how this market is, I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a momentary dip before going back up for some dumb made-up reason.

They're going to get that $300 billion one way or another.

Too bad I don't get to sit around and think all day so I can discuss with others who sit around and think all day.

Neither can AI, unless you want a garbage heap of a codebase.

I hope to see this happen in my area. The kind of emissions I'm stuck having to breathe in, especially while I'm walking on a sidewalk next to a main road, is awful. Unfortunately, it's going to take much longer for the switch to happen here.

eLbOwS uP!!!

The closure of the strait impacts helium supplies used for chip manufacturing which will impact data center build-out, so maybe the result is lower electricity costs overall.

My point being that people pretending to be leftists claim to care about human rights to use it as an excuse for bombing countries (see Iran during the protests as a recent example). Are you requesting drawings because my words were too difficult for you to understand?

The same "care about human rights" used to justify bombing countries?

It's all fake. Might as well call him a quadrillionaire.

I enjoy looking at butts at uncommon angles.

Demand destruction in action?

Organized and then busted by the FBI, yes.

Sure, but I assume it's easier to collect wastewater for proper disposal than the air pollutants.

None of that matters when SpaceX is bleeding money like crazy thanks to the AI that is supposed to justify its trillion dollar valuation.
