They learned their lesson after 2008. That lesson was, the government will bail them out. These people and companies don't care.

When VC and PE call a company or industry "mature" it means they don't see increasing revenue, only something to be sucked dry and sold for parts. To them, consistent revenue is worthless, it must be skyrocketing or nothing. If you want to see this in action right now, look what Broadcom is doing to VMWare. They also saw VMWare as a "mature company".

I can confirm this. Latest firmware and a generic toner cart. I just printed some stuff yesterday

I replied elsewhere, but this is a manufactured case. The goal is to get it in front of the supreme court and get a blanket ban on all porn. This is one of the top objectives of project 2025

Republicans are so terrible that Obama was given a Nobel peace prize early into his first term just for not being a republican

Your theory is completely provable. Remember how loud the pizza-gate nut jobs were? And now that some of the Epstein documents are starting to come out, it's all crickets.

And my state just made a law mandating schools have TPUSA student clubs. Knowing my shitheel government, the next step will be compulsory membership

What a coincidence that the VP has a financial interest in independent farms going bankrupt.

Performative patriotism is such an obvious thing to spot but too many people eat that shit up. You can tell exactly how much they really care for veterans by how they're treated when not being used as a political prop.

He has an app on his adult son's phone to track his porn viewing habits. He's a creep that has no ground to stand on to criticize others.

That and the uncertainty of being able to open the doors when a quick exit is needed, say a fire or something. There's a big difference in price tag in total loss vs. loss of life.

They lack unity and any sort of definitive leadership. They're a rudderless ship in a storm. What consensus they can muster among the older ranks is to not upset their wealthy donors, so any chance of creating a policy to invigorate the working class is out of the question. Any policy that is good for the working class will tap the brakes on the unfettered looting being done by the ruling class, so that's a no starter for the establishment Democrats.

The plantiff is unnamed. This is a manufactured case to test getting the supreme court to pass a blanket ban on all porn.

You're right, it's just small beans gossip.

It's also just one more example to throw on the pile of why it's completely stupid that he has such a large following of devout Christians, who if they had actual moral principals would denounce him.

When the legal system is rigged to allow corporations to exploit and extort the average citizen this is the one of the few avenues we have left. If I kill a person, I go to jail. If a healthcare CEO generates record profits by denying care to people who have paid into the system, he's protected from his actions by corporate law, and even rewarded with large sums of money.

I understand your point, but it's based on the false assumption that we live in a just, single tiered justice system

I'm not shocked. I used to love their shoes but the last couple pairs I bought dropped noticeably in comfort and quality. The enshitification rolls on

GetRight ftw. I just googled it and it's still a thing.

Now, burning CDs at 2x speed on windows 98 was a chore. Converting a whole disc with of mp3's and not breathing on your computer for 40 minutes so it didn't freeze and ruin an expensive CDR sucked.

Very true. In this case though, it's a fabricated story. The airline has publicly stated that this didn't happen. It's only been reported by a far right German rag, and re-reported by other right wing media. This also is close to election time in Germany and stories like this help push their agenda.

This shouldn't be shocking to anyone who pays attention. Every 2 years in america there's some impending migrant crisis that evaporated around November 5th, like migrant caravans and such.

If anyone really cares, gopher is still somewhat alive.

Misogyny and bravado. Same for a lot of the Latino and Muslim communities. If the election were rerun tomorrow they'd probably just not vote. People with these personalities will never vote for a woman.
