They do work at the User Data Extraction Factory, after all...
They know exactly what I've bought from them and when, so computing the tariffs I've paid through them is a matter of database queries.
They know how to give the money back to me - they send me a credit based on my executive membership every year, and that would be an acceptable and minimally painful way to refund the tariff windfall. They could give Costco store credit cards to non-executive members.
I seem to remember the Iraq-area wars that the US was involved in going on far longer and less of an oil crisis happening this fast.
That would be because even during those wars and conflicts, we didn't have an orange-painted pedophilic retard with delusions of grandeur causing a weekslong blockage of the major shipping lane through which ~35% of the world's crude oil trade flows.
The closest we've seen recently was when the Ever Given got stuck in the Suez during 2021, and even that only lasted for 6 days. Plus, it wasn't as big a deal because less oil was being used worldwide during pandemic countermeasures.
The closest in the past 100 years is when Treasonous Klanbitch Ronny Reagan betrayed the USA and convinced the Iranian Ayatollah to cut off shipping to hurt Carter in the 1980 election, in trade for guns and other military supplies that the Treasonshit Republicans paid out later during Reagan's terms.
Wait. You say Microsoft is doing the same thing they've done a dozen times before, again? I'm shocked, I say. Shocked.
........ well, not that shocked.
Basically the EFF exists to defend pedo rights
You are disturbingly confused and thinking of the (GOP) RetardedKlan Party whose head is a literal 34-time convicted felon, pedophile who admitted in a Howard Stern video to invading locker rooms of underage girls at pageants, and all-around Treasonous Shitrag who wears caked orange makeup to hide his syphilis blemishes.
Witness Houston Space Flight Center, which was LBJ's quid pro quo for getting the Apollo program through Congress, and is responsible for the handoff of manned launches from Florida to Texas just after the vehicle clears the tower.
Basic is a high level languish. APL is a high level anguish.
