  • Wtf is the point of this. Even if they wanted to save on labor costs of wait staff and everything why not just use your own card instead of trading it for a temporary card.

    It’s like this pizza place I went to recently. They had a little arcade so I went to put some quarters in and realized I had to go buy tokens at a machine first. It wasn’t Dave and Busters or anything, just a hole in the wall with a few games in a corner. I didn’t buy any tokens. Same with laundromats that now want you to buy tokens ahead of time.

    There isn’t a single business anymore that isn’t trying to just blatantly scam you out of your money. They used to at least be more subtle about it.




  • I’m not saying it’s the same here

    “I’m not saying the example I just used in this situation is an example that should ever be used in this situation.”

    And if scientists can’t “magic” new chemicals, I wonder how they came up with the ones addressed in this article? Besides, isn’t capitalism supposed to “drive innovation” and all that? Amazing how that suddenly goes right out the window the minute anyone questions the status quo or, god forbid, the profit that comes from destroying the earth and the people on it.










  • what is he expected to do

    Well maybe he should have thought of that first, before running his mouth like the wheezing piece of sweaty shit he is and victimizing innocent people in the process who were already suffering.

    You know, I will literally never ever understand standing up for someone like this. I have an elderly far right trumper family member who barely survives on fucking social security who tries to defend Bezos and Musk this way. “Oh BuT iTs NoT lIqUiD.” Who gives a shit?! Fuck all of them.

    If he managed to spend that much in a month on himself and his wife, he can manage to spend that much on his victims. Who gives a flying fuck where it comes from? Why the fuck would you? Is it his victims’ fault he has to declare bankruptcy and rely on lines of credit (supposedly)? Of course not. So he can take out more and more and more lines of credit to pay them. It’s not that hard.




  • FreeTaxUSA also tried to charge me for state after saying it was free though.

    I guess I could have printed out the forms I had just filled out and mailed them, but that’s not exactly what was advertised. It’s “free tax filing” not “free forms.” I paid it because it was cheap, but then they kept kicking both my federal and state back to me with error messages saying they were not “accepted” by the IRS.

    Cash app had no issues with the exact same information being “accepted.” It just worked. And it was actually free.



  • Also Ross. They’re a gross company that treats their workers like shit. When you start working there they give you pamphlets on how to sign up for social services like food stamps. They also have one of those employee funds, where everyone pays into it every month and if someone has an emergency they can use money from it. Maybe if they paid their employees a livable wage they wouldn’t need makeshift insurance funded by their impoverished workers. So fucked up.
