Just driving across Texas takes 12 hours if you push it. Most people take 2 days, including food and rest.

I had to cancel netflix because I move every month or more, and Netflix flagged my account.

I expect Hulu to do the same, but for me, I’m back 100% pirated content like in the 2000s.

Seriously, you should spend a month in Dubai.

If you still think that, on average, America is as good or better than Dubai is, on average, then you’re living in a different world than me.

No income tax, government remains small and hyper-efficient. All money for the government and running society is gained from buliiding public works that either build the economy (excellent and affordable mass transit) or deliver services (50% of cell phone and Internet profits go to the government, who maintains and extends the infrastructure).

In 28 years, I think that you’re the first person who both uses their real name and provides a link to their website in their slashdot bio...

It also isn’t free if you make more than $73,000 in 2022.

I have made more than that since I was 23, back when $73,000 was worth $110,000 in today’s money.

This is slashdot yeah? Who is going to the mall? Get it delivered.

Why the hell did your lines wrap like that?!

In over 26 years of browsing slashdot, I’ve never once seen that! Did you type in some hard-wrap editor and then paste it in?!

I use Authy Desktop and gauth. I NEVER EVER use 2FA on my smartphone UNLESS I’m away from my laptop and on my smartphone (very rare).

Just use Authy Desktop or gauth.

The silver Nol metro card has a minimum-usable balance of 7 AED and you can only buy in 10 AED increments.

The gold Nol card is even worse. It requires you to have 15 AED and can only buy in 25 AED incrememnts.

All of the profit goes to the government.

It’s so true!!

One of President Joe Biden’s top donors and “closest friends” has scored millions of dollars in federal contracts and a prestigious job in the White House, according to a Washington Free Beacon review of government records.

Biden in September [2021] of last year placed close confidant Joe Kiani, the founder and CEO of the medical technology company Masimo Corporation, on the influential President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. Kiani’s company, which manufactures various medical devices, has received almost $3 million in federal government contracts since Biden took office in 2021. Its contracts include funding from the Department of Defense and Department of Health and Human Services.

My God, it’s true!!! Total democrat corporation!!

I apologize for not being clear enough in my comment: See https://tech.slashdot.org/comm...

The elites short -the buying company-....

The puts are placed on the PARENT COMPANY.

In the “worst” case scenario, of the entire corporation failing, 99 out of 100s, the executives who did the terrible mergers and destroyed the consumed corp, get to exit with BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in “parachute packages”.

Just look at Neumann of WeWork.

Paul Ichan did this with Target Corp.

You can read the tea leaves and see that the elites do these planned destructions in 3-, 5-, and 10-year increments.

E.g., Marvel was bought by Disney in 2009 and so its planned destruction would begin in 2019/2020. If you look at profit/loss of Marvel, that’s exactly when it started dying.
