Just answering your literal question rather than advocating for whether this is right or wrong:

The 1936 Robinson-Patman Act "prohibits price discrimination, preventing sellers from charging different prices to different buyers for goods of 'like grade and quality' if it harms competition."

It's extremely rarely enforced, but ... there you go. You can read more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

No, we don't actually need housing. It's a stinking lie that is perpetuated by Democrats.

We have 1.1 units of housing per family right now. And we're near the absolute record on per-capita housing. Don't believe me?

What we need are _jobs_ that are not concentrated in the Misery Centrals (aka downtowns of select large cities).

That's been asked once or twice with no answer, so I'll give it a shot.

Context: I'm a relatively new (~20 months) POGO player, currently level 75/80, with 34 platinum medals (you need 50 to get to the top level, 80). That probably makes me knowledgeable, but not entirely an expert.

The thing that has made POGO so successful, I think, is that "gameplay" is really broad -- there are a bunch of game mechanics in the game, and you can progress while specializing in some and ignoring others. You want to go out and spin pokestops and find new gyms? You totally can! You want to stay home, do remote raids, and remote PVP? You totally can!

I'm really not a PVP person, I kinda hate PVP in all games, but that's just me. Others really love PVP in general, and some of them love PVP in POGO. So a POGO tournament could literally take place in a basement, away from any pokestops or gyms, because you could just PVP against each other (Heck, if you didn't have to worry about cheating, you could have PVP tournaments involving players coming in from their own individual basements across the world).

Submission + - Microsoft pulls faulty Windows 11 Update (techrepublic.com)

Ol Olsoc writes: Another Windows update has tripped over its own feet, and users are once again left staring at error screens instead of progress bars. Reports Tech Republic: https://www.techrepublic.com/a...

FTA: Microsoft has rolled back a recent non-security update after widespread installation failures. Designed to quietly improve performance and stability, it instead fails before it can even get off the ground. Unlike typical update issues that surface after installation, this one blocks users at the door, refusing to install or crashing midway through the process. For many, the result is a familiar frustration: a cryptic error message, stalled systems, and no clear path forward. Microsoft has since paused the rollout entirely while it investigates the issue, leaving users waiting for a fix instead of the improvements they were promised.
