The sky is falling!!!

No wait, AirBnB hosts are simply going to have to follow the same laws as hotels, hostels, and other short-term rental providers in the city.

That means collecting the hotel tax, getting licenses and insurance, and meeting minimum health and safety standards.

Cry me a river.

The AG is too busy counting his money

SBF must have done something to upset the ruling class, as they apparently rejected his application for admission to the oligarchy. He did everything right. He stole money from the everyman, funneled it upwards into his own pockets, and lied to everyone about it. It's textbook oligarch.

I wonder why they did not accept him. Perhaps he was not making the "right" political contributions or something.

Jobs are meaningless because life has become meaningless. Instead of trying to live full, enriching lives, we have been herded like cattle into money-making schemes designed to enrich the privileged few.

When you exist solely to make someone else rich, your life becomes meaningless, and along with it, everything you do with it.

The riders are having to double-up on drugs to keep going in this heat.

The EPA.

"How does a company burn through $200m slapping their brand on chinese e-Bikes?"

There, fixed it for you

Because a college degree is not an asset.

I think the word "loan" sort of implies that they are not being "given" the money.

"Seriously... the cost of providing service should be covered by what you charge for the service."

ISPs already charge as if they were paying for it. They're just not paying for it, and they want to continue not paying for it.

Reddit isn't dying. Reddit is dead.

Why is Reddit dead?

Reddit is dead because it operated for far too long as a charity and gave everyone the impression they were not in business to make a huge profit for their private equity investors. It turns out that the benevolence of those investors has worn out and the time has come to start delivering on expectations.

Once that happens, most of these online services begin the exorable demise.

Gen X-er here... when I was hanging out in IRC in the 1990s using mIRC and enjoying thoughtful discusson on Slashdot, the Internet was pretty cool. Websites had page counters, obnoxious backgrounds, annoying animated GIFs, and people who authored web pages basically didn't know what the fuck they were doing. It was fantastic, and a lot of fun.

Needless to say, the Internet has turned into something else entirely, and I don't like it. Today the Internet has become just another method to exploit, agitate, and divide. I don't even have Internet service at home anymore, because when I go home from work, I want nothing to do with it. My house has no Internet and no TV, because they both suck anymore, and I definitely don't miss them. At all.

They are trained to be experts at a well-developed standard for misleading customers. Competency at the job is measured by how well they accomplish the goal of misleading customers without creating a liability. It's not a poor standard. It's not poor training. Everything about it is precisely calculated and razor sharp.
