This is such a wild departure from real beauty pageants, which have always been known for pushing realistic beauty standards and for making normal women feel good about their bodies.
You know how corporations acquire other corporations and the government dramatically reviews it for a period of time and then allows it? Trust busting is like that, but in reverse. We just need to do the opposite of what we do now. Instead of watching corporations acquire each other and get bigger, we should be busting them apart into separate entities.
Specifically, it’s supposed to prevent business agreements and practices that are intended to hinder the ability of others to be competitive or do their own business. IOW, it prevents monopolies and industry consolidation.
Here are a few examples of why robust anti-trust laws are needed, and need to be enforced:
Everything Walmart has ever done.
Everything Amazon has ever done.
ISPs preventing competitors from moving into their territory so they can keep prices artificially high and quality of service low.
Everything Microsoft has ever done with Windows and what they’re currently trying to do with their gaming division.
The way Apple operates their App Store.
Everything Nestle has ever done.
Everything Google has been doing.
I mean just look at the state of the corporate world. We got here by an endless string of unhindered massive acquisitions and undercutting competitors. Now prices go up and quality of goods go down because no one can compete, and your “choice”, when there is a choice at all, is between 2 or 3 shitty products created by corporations that operate with the exact same min-max business model.
The geothermal energy system will ensure that the temperature in the athlete apartments in the Seine-Saint-Denis suburb does not rise above 26 degrees Celsius (79 degrees Fahrenheit) at night
Sorry, but fuck that. Hopefully the system will help the ACs that everyone will need to bring to use less power though.
I can charge mine when I shower and get dressed, and sometimes when I brush my teeth and feed the pets at night - about 30-60 minutes a day total. I wear it the other 23-23.5 hours, including sleep with the AutoSleep app. It sometimes gets down to 20% before charging.
If it didn’t charge so fast then it would be an issue for me.
Those old people probably had steady hours and earned reliable paychecks. That’s not how it’s done anymore. Employees work part time, if it can even be called that. A single restaurant has something like 200+ employees, and some can go weeks without having any hours.
Those senior employees were too expensive. They probably weren’t fired or laid off. They were probably phased out in a flood of new hires so they would quit and not collect unemployment. Nowadays your server could have worked there for 2 years and have a few months’ worth of experience or less.
