There are not that many trust fund kids and I don't care if they blow their family fortune on something stupid. It's their money, it's not like spending it makes ME worse off. But high shipping costs? That causes INFLATION.

Again, my complaint isn't the pay. My complaint is the automation. They can fight for a huge raise! That's good, because it will make it very profitable to just automate things. Of course they know this and that's why they w

This strike is about automation, not pay. US ports are some of the least efficient in the world because of these unions and how effectively they've opposed automation. If dock workers strike for higher pay? Fine. Pay them and then auto

Google is the group pushing hardest for the removal of third party cookies; they don't need them because they get your data from other sources. It's everyone else who wants to keep them around.

No, it didn't help, but FTX should not have ever been in a position where a bank run forced them into bankruptcy and froze customer assets. They're not a lender, they're just an exchange. Regardless of taking on debt to manag

FB should allow DT to degrade the quality of service and display a banner to DT users - the people it pisses off are going to be the Instagram-using public who in theory were the ones paying to connect to Facebook anyways.
