Your Fox talking points are easily disputed with raw data.

I don't need. "Talking points" from anyone to know from personal experience that my health care costs skyrocketed starting from ACA times.....my bank statements show that...

All my friends I talk with...saw their costs rise too.

Let us not make light of the fact that the fucking Vice President just today has said "no unity" and basically siccing people against their perceived enemies to get people fired. The VP has sanctioned cancel culture.

Hello Pot....Kettle....Kettle....Pot.

And with this....it isn't the govt supports sing speech , it is repercussions in the private sector ....which the liberals cheered in the past recent years.

And this time around, the govt isn't forcing social media to cancel people or deplatform them either...the Dems were caught red handed doing that.

Comment I never answer them... (Score 5, Insightful) 147

I mean if they're calling by phone, they won't get me...I do not answer any phone calls I do not recognize (ie on my contacts list).

I figure if it is important enough, they'll leave me a voicemail.

And even if they get through, with phone or email, I don't answer questions to unsolicited contacts from people, as that I have NO idea who they really are or what they want.

I assume most every call or email is a scam unless they prove otherwise.

I kinda figured anyone today with much common sense or even slight sense of privacy and personal security pretty much did the same.

I've instructed my aging parents to do the same thing....too many old people getting swindled.

There are literally millions of people doing nothing today, what you are advocating here has already happened, why aren't you happy anyway, is it because it's never enough? AFAIC everyone who can work should be taking care of himself/herself, government must not steal from one to subsidize another, especially in the system basically designed for complete corruption (and it is designed for complete corruption).

It is up to everyone individually to survive on this planet, if there are too many people unable to survive then it's a self correcting issue - they will not survive.

Comment Transparency (Score 5, Insightful) 105

One reason for quarterly reporting is that it gives greater transparency and insight into how a business actually works. Many businesses are seasonal. Most obviously, virtually all retail has its best quarter at the end of the calendar year. But many other types of businesses have key cycles each year that are tied to, for example, the buying habits of their largest customers. Suppliers matter, too; if farms have a bad quarter due to weather or other factors, for example, you're going to want to watch how that impacts food producers somewhere down the line.

Comment Re:I predict everyone will want tips now (Score 1) 61

It's okay if you live in an area where tips are decent, or if you are an attractive young woman/twink, but generally speaking having to rely on tips to earn a decent amount is discriminatory and works greatly in the employer's favour.

I worked in smallish cities in the southeast of the US...so, no major tipping capitals....and I"m an average looking guy I guess....

I found that a sense of humors and being outgoing and friendly did more than anything for tips...

Hell, there were a couple of times I dropped a whole large tray of food....everything..gone....and well, I just made a joke and everyone laughed...etc.

I ended up making a HUGE tip on that one....

I did well as well as my co-workers...and there was nothing discriminatory about it.

Comment Re:S Mode (Score 1) 24

I imagine that the first question after installing Linux would be "Now how do I sync albums that I bought on the band's Bandcamp page onto my iPhone?" As far as I'm aware:

- iTunes for Windows uses the Apple Mobile Device Service driver to sync over a USB cable, and drivers don't run in Wine.
- libimobiledevice on Linux can write files to an iPhone but not the music database that the included Music app uses.
- Though the VLC app can play music from files, nothing but the included Music app can make playlists containing both purchased music and rented music from the roommate's Apple Music family plan. Not all bands are with a label that's on Apple Music.

I left Windows on her laptop and turned off S Mode.
