No, don't be ridiculous, it doesn't just go to shipping, it all goes to just these 3 entities. All other shipping companies are about $25 trillion. It's truly surprising how little of all money spent actually goes towards stu

Externalized costs would make tons of entire industries completely unviable. We as a society completely ignore them when it comes to business for a reason. It's shitty, and usually at the expense of our long term sustainability, but go

I take it you haven't been reading much gaming news in the past few months. Steam now has refunds, like, for real. It used to just be a one time thing and they were real hard asses about it, but now they're very willing to give re
