You pay if your toilet leaks, they can be held to the same standard. They should have noticed their water meter reading crazy numbers and deciding to inform the utility company and investigate their pipes.

He doesn’t need to be right.

Cancer doesnt have to be correct to spread, it just has to take hold in enough places to become a real problem.

Try to remember that everything you have in your life or purchase for daily use is conveniently close to your non-car lifestyle because of hydrocarbon powered transportation networks, which doesn’t just eat the cost as a gesture of goodwill, the price of transportation is included in what you purchase.

COVID and recent financial policies changed our economy from “charge what it costs + a reasonable profit margin” to “what’s it worth to you?”

I think we need to seperate the ability for a corporation to make decisions of its own free will from the notion of fairness and equity for a society which allowed a franchise like Wendy’s to be created. They’re giving many of their supporters the middle finger after thinking they found a winning lottery ticket.

I can understand being pissed off about it as someone who isn’t rich, but I also understand it’s a system I have no control over other than what I choose to buy myself. I won’t support Wendys if they want to choose profits over people. It’s sad to see more of the world turn into a heartless corporate hellhole.

I personally hope they got their numbers wrong and they fail.

They wouldn’t do it without crunching the numbers first.

They may lose 15% of their customers, but the ones that stay bring in 25% more money with less capital spent on labour and resources by having less customers.

The point isnt making good food for people. The point is funneling money towards the conglomerate that owns the Wendy’s franchise. This is capitalism.

They’re outright accepting less customers in favor of those willing to pay higher prices.

That’s great for a quarter, maybe a year, maybe 5. At what point does it catch up and you’ve trained everyone to stop eating fast food because you wanted to charge more than people can dedicate to food?

Your UK community ended up on the front page of someone outside the UK, it’s a risk you take when discussing things that others are participating that aren’t a part of you society.

Gives you something to think about anyway, depending on the context.

Weird, I don’t think I mentioned the UK in my comment. While I’m sure the Israeli PM has quite a bit to do with UK elections, it wasnt mentioned in the article.

I was speaking about AI being used for immoral political discourse, which is what the article speaks to, and extrapolated the concept to other areas it in can have an arguably positive impact.

If they’re using it for bad, fair game to use it for good with some AI deepfakes too. I wonder if we’ll see a paparazzi style video of Bibi eating a pork chop soon.

Building anything on land starts directing rain elsewhere, which has implications for downstream flooding and the levels of the natural aquifers people and the environment depend on. Disconnecting your dow spouts if you have them is a great thing to do, since they’re usually connected to sewers

Sad.

We’re talking about someone will the IQ and memory capacity of a goldfish

I LOLed so hard when I heard their demands were the removal of our elected representatives to be replaced with THEMSELVES

Only if you’re an idiot that compares the attempted genocide of a people to a leader ensuring trade routes remain open for businesses and a city’s residents aren’t traumatized by racist children that like to make noise.

You could be green with 6 arms, it doesn’t matter. One doesn’t need to be Jewish to be sucking Bibi’s cock as passionately as you are.

The same bad actors have muddied the lines through limiting online discourse and pushing their message consistently enough to drag some well meaning, but lacking in critical thinking skills, people to join the cause.

Like algorithms for social media, they’ll feed you little bits that become normalized, and sudde ly the stuff that was crazy 5 years ago seems tame and pointless to fight against now.

He’s not an idiot. He pays attention, and has many smart people around him that push this agenda. The privacy breach is the point.

The real question should be why the conservative party considers it their business what people watch. Aren’t they supposed to be for less government intrusion into your life? Seems they want to have much more control than the liberals and NDP who simply want us to stay out of everyone’s private business.

Funny how hearing a message associating someone with a movement, true or not, swayed your opinion. Almost as if it proves my point.

Don’t forget to put those sunflower seeds in your pocket komrad, Slava Ukrainia and glory to the heros!
