If so, then why are drug companies allowed to advertise to consumers?

Welp, watch my health insurance premiums jump next year with United to pay for this...

we pass a law prohibiting mass layoffs at highly profitable companies?

STILL starting at 8G for the base memory.

Apple - this is disgusting. You haven’t updated your base RAM in like a decade!

Slashdot won’t let me reply in Morse Code.

Because it also creates a mostly permanent Democrat voter base too. THAT’S the prime reason. What is all the student loan forgiveness stuff REALLY about? Buying votes, nothing more.

And conversely, we had innumerable reports of deaths where someone had covid and died being recorded as died from covid. Things like gunshot wounds, car accidents, etc. but if the person tested positive for Covid, it was counted as a Covid death.

Well, that’s one good way to get rid of all those stupid self-checkouts.

No one is going to voluntarily pay for bags at a self-checkout.

They NEVER would have punished them or removed the account. They'd be all "well, we can't really do anything about it, free speech, yadda yadda yadda." It's (D)ifferent because it was Biden.

I tried to do this. But they don't have an English version of their web site at al. Trying to use it with Google Translate is an exercise in frustration.

The rail industry finally got paid sick days. But it's a sham. First off, our unions did it without telling us anything. We can't get a copy of whatever agreement they entered into with the railroads.

And secondly, although technically yes, we get a few paid sick days, they COUNT AGAINST US for their attendance policy.

So if I'm at home, puking up a storm, and call in sick, I don't lose pay for that day. But I've got one significant ding against me for attendance.

What might that be?

Apple's navigation is actually extremely good.

I'll keep my cash stuffed under the mattress before I EVER bank with Wells Fargo.

So it was published almost 20,000 years in the future? I mean, by then we probably will have room temperature superconductors!
