  • Can... Can you sign up for this or?

  • AOC wrong: More civilians die when we send Israel 'defensive weapons'

    Jump

  • They are politicians and they all get elected based on lies to their base.

    AOC didn't even grow up in Bronx and campaigned hard on her being a girl from Bronx. If she was willing to lie about where she grew up, why wouldn't she spout bullshit to appeal to her constituents?

  • Mastercard and Visa face backlash after hundreds of adult games removed from online stores Steam and Itch.io

  • How hard can you throw?

    Amex gift cards. Cashapp uses Block(Square) for their payment processing, which is easier to use because you can transfer funds to that from your bank.

  • They got together enough people to mass email, that is all it took.

    Companies tend to multiply received responses to represent the total number of people who were to lazy to complain, so Visa and MasterCard saw 1,000 emails as 10,000,000 in their risk averse actions.

    Now 4chan is pissed and have started their own mass email and phonecall campaign, so we shall see where this goes...

  • Does the average american, when naming a price of any given item, takes into account taxes or disregards it?

    Jump

  • All of that is nonsense.

    I worked for 2 corporate retail chains that would send the stores the price labels for sales and we would print out a file for other tags.

    In a quarter, most labels would be replaced and they would send irregular price changes every week. We would spend probably 10 man-hours a week taking down and putting up labels under typical operations.

    Items don't generally move far or often, except for rotating display spaces at the ends of aisles for promotional items where every tag changes. Every few years they might make radical changes to item placements, but they tend not to because it confuses customers.

    There is no reason to exclude the tax in the price labels except for tradition and/or concealing how much you will actually pay with the tax added. Most people know what the taxes are in the area they shop and will just round up to the next dollar or add 10% if they are on a budget.

    Bring on wireless electronic price tags that show the price including tax.

    Come to think of it, I think one of the people who heard my vertibre crack OD'd a few years later.

  • It is a relief knowing I have like 6 years before I get the bad news.

    I had zero pain or discomfort after(totally the opposite) and was very conscious of any signs that I might need to go to the hospital. All was well, but I am sure I came very close to having a bad time.

  • The first and last time I was on a trampoline, I tried to do a backflip and landed on my chest in a full scorpion. My spine whipped and cracked pretty much every join in my spine. It was loud enough for the people standing next to the trampoline to hear.

    I felt such unknown levels of comfort and relaxation that I was worried that I had just paralyzed myself, until I realized I could feel my toes.

    That was the only time in my life I have experienced such nirvana, from the tension and pressure being released from my back to the euphoria of not being paralyzed. It was a serene tranquility that I imagine only the Buddha knows. I was in a moment of Zen that can otherwise only be achieved through dying of natural causes while meditating.

  • Microsoft concedes that 'The Outer Worlds 2' retail price was too high — Xbox says it "will keep our full priced holiday releases at $69.99," with refunds incoming

  • Last part of the last paragraph, we agree.

    We need wage increases across the board, not importing new workers to fill roles at lower wages because we have plenty of workers that only need higher wages to fill those vacant roles.

  • They are generally paid well over a living wage for a position that a citizen could occupy at a market wage that is even higher. Median tech job income is over $100k, twice the national average.

    Hiring a citizen costs more, so profit chasing dictates hiring an immigrant that can be paid less than market rate. Hiring an immigrant under an H1-B not only is cheaper in wages, but also gives the company more power over the employee because they can fire that person and then they get deported for not being sponsored.

    Hiring an H1-B at a cheaper rate also suppresses wages for citizens.

    Unemployment in tech is like 3%, we don't need H1-B visa for tech jobs. We don't even need H1-Bs for the industries with the highest unemployment, they need to increase wages to attract the nearly 7 million unemployed in the US, and there are even more people that are underemployed or have given up because wages are too low across the board.
