Off of the most scammiest of scam advertisements on their site. I don't mean all the other ones that are probably scams but the ones that are so obviously scams that they had been flagged hundreds of times as scams.

Some internal documents leaked where Facebook employees were talking about how they needed the extra cash to fund all the stupid AI bullshit they were doing.

The government should obviously be stepping in and investigating and regulating. It's one thing to get duped into running a scam ad it's another thing to know that you're running 16 billion dollars worth of the worst and most obvious criminals advertisements.

But fuck me laws don't matter anymore. Keep an eye on your grandparents people or your parents if your old like me. It's open season on them.

Diligence my ass. They won't do that because means testing helps dismantle programs and because they get off on hungry children.

I mean, if those 14 year old girls aren't poor and hungry then they're not going to be as impressed when a republican picks them Up in their beat up Camaro and they're not going to put out.

You're going to do a 60 minute commute one way and you're just now noticing the bridge you're stuck under is crumbling because we haven't built infrastructure in 30 years.

It's almost as if giving all of our money to the rich because we were busy being distracted by moral panics was a bad idea.

The funny thing is when I say moral panic everybody agrees with me but if I mention the specific moral panics that caused you to give all your money to the rich then everybody gets upset.

Also (outside of California) wrongful imprisonment is a legal justification for the use of deadly force.

But California is intentionally destroying their former high-trust society as a pretext for totalitarianism, so ... whatever ... get out like everyone else with a brain.

Not too long ago U-Haul was offering free one-way hauls TO California because the escape rate was so lopsided.

Part of me wonders if Disney is still somehow nervous about the old deals forbidding toy deals around Spaceballs.

As far as I know they no longer apply and Disney can do whatever they want but when it comes to weird edge cases companies can get weird.

I can't say I would blame them.

The method we use to calculate unemployment stats was explicitly designed to hide the real unemployment.

Unemployment is going to be closer to about 8 and 1/2 to 10%. That's the underemployed and people who gave up on looking.

It also doesn't include people who don't are elderly and would be working if they could get jobs but who are basically unemployable and a doctor wrote a disability script for them so they could get enough benefits to not die in the streets. That's a dirty little secret of our economy we don't like to think about let alone talk about.

But a better statistic is 2 and 5. That's the number of quality jobs. There are two quality jobs, defined is a job that can support a adult and isn't paycheck the paycheck, for every five Americans. Basically the majority of jobs cannot support an adult.

We are rapidly becoming a failed state. A third world country if you will. It's why we keep doing stupid crap like electing a game show host with a history of sexual abuse. People under a lot of pressure don't make good decisions. That's a TV trope but the real world that's not how it works

No you didn't.

Yeah I don't give a shit if they claim this isn't a problem because it unlocks when the fire alarm goes off screw that noise. This is a little bit of improper maintenance away from being a death trap.

I want to say I wouldn't shop there but I know damn well that with all the monopolies around nasty shit like this will spread everywhere and most places only have two or three grocery chains.

I want to take away the power corporations have to do this and I want to take away their power to starve people so that people aren't feeling the need to shoplift groceries.

As for shoplifting booze since a fuck wad like you is bound to bring it up, people over the age of 21 don't steal booze for the hell of it they're using alcohol to cope with the misery of modern Life. And kids do it here and there and that's nothing more than a youthful indiscretion. Alcohol is cheap and ultra high profit and don't be an idiot if you think corporations will cut prices because shoplifting goes down you don't know the first thing about supply and demand.

What happened to you to make you so mean spirited and angry that you would revel at the thought of people getting punished for stealing food or a little bit of booze to cope with life? Did your dad beat you or something? I get it that sucks but don't take it out on the rest of the world. Be better than your dad or whoever the fuck did this to you. End generational trauma.

No he meant unhoused. And what the fuck is wrong with you? Do you really think you're going anywhere but hell with an attitude like that?

On the other hand Trump said he's not going to heaven so maybe you just want to go to the same place Trump's going...

And further tilt the balance towards on-prem.

I'll be sure to tell my very real clients their infrastructure doesn't exist.

To take food out of the mouths of hungry kids. They couldn't possibly give less of a fuck about children. I mean except for like they did in the Epstein files but I don't think that's what anyone means here...

The only question is which ulterior motive is the most prevalent. On the one hand this is red meat for voters so that they can offer them something other than a functioning economy. On the other hand they are trying to eliminate anonymity on the internet so they can relentlessly punish anyone who says anything they don't like while also pretending they are persecuted.

Whatever the result it won't help children but it will hurt you and me.

At the rate the shutdown is going, perhaps we should take a cue from the billionaires and just stop paying.
