Another good metaphor is like trying to talk a toddler out of a loaded gun.

Because Amazon is frequently more expensive than other retailers.

Gee, what ever could the reason for rising fuel costs be?

Duh. Hunter Biden's laptop!

When they do the math on buying 30 gallons of gas for their F150 and see it will cost $150.

Funny. Here's video of an orange turd saying he won't start any wars and will in fact stop them. https://www.c-span.org/clip/ca...

You sound like a poorly written perl script.

Rob Reiner started out as a sitcom actor and made many great movies.

The same company that banned people for linking to the British Holocaust Museum (HMD.Org.UK) claiming the links were violations of the policy on "dangerous individuals and organizations." Zuckerberg is a pedophilic little-boy-raping sick-trash Nazi.

Well China can produce cheaper and better electric cars, so...

Sora was useless because the primary value from video generation is porn. Anyone not willing to allow porn shouldn't be wasting their time on GenAI video R&D.

Every company has values. A value is simply a judgement about what is important. Maximizing shareholder value is absolutely a company value (probably the most common one). Maximizing customer, employee, or society value would be different values a company could have. There are plenty of companies that focus on customer or society value, but they are usually nonprofit. If someone is investing in a company they usually expect to be the most import stakeholder to the company.

Most companies don't actually document their company values. They use principles like Integrity and Excellence that are simply core principles that every company should strive for. You can tell if your company's values are "real" if you could imagine another successful company having nearly opposite values (without breaking the law).

Not every company should appeal to every investor, employee, or company. I wanted to work for companies in my youth that worked me to the bone while accelerating my career growth. Now that I have a family I want to work for a company that respects my personal time. I'm glad there are companies out there with different values so I was able to choose employers who aligned with my values at the time.

Sorry, best we can do is a blank check for ICE and Israel. Could you imagine if the president spent $200 billion on improving the lives of the citizens instead?
