The billionaires want immigrants from poor nations because they're less likely to unionize or demand higher wages.

They got a guarantee to future access to rare earth minerals, which Ukraine can easily just deny after the war.

Tiny plastic part that holds the handle to my fridge broke. Need a new 50 cent plastic part.

GE wants $200 to replace all 3 metal handle assemblies. Can't just get the plastic part, it comes in a bundle with all 3 metal handles. Which would immediately go in the garbage.

If we can't get them on the "intentionally gouging customers" angle, we can surely get them on the "creating excess waste" angle.

Because there's fewer foreign bots trying to make you hate everyone in your country, and fewer social media engagement bots trying to make sure you stay online arguing with someone.

Why not? They were fixing Windows XP remote-execution exploits all the way up to 2017. For free, for anyone to download.

And that stuff is only used to take down children's hospitals, they don't waste 0-day exploits on some rando's home PC.

Unskilled labour refers to those in the precarious and more easily replaced position of workers. It is used by labour advocates to identify those with a greater need for union representation.

It isn't an insult. And the never-ending euphemism treadmill only serves to divide generations and make a handful of people feel important.

This knee-jerk reaction to the term "unskilled labour" reminds me of the one that replaced the term "ebonics" with "AAVE", implying that the black men that came up with the term were offensive.

Linux isn't hard anymore because I have ChatGPT to come up with all the command lines for me. And they work 60% of the time!

Reddit shadowbans all new accounts. So new users have no idea why nobody replies to them for the first 3 months.
