Amazing. I've ranted about the disgusting practices of Getty Images before. They claim ownership of public domain photos and demand payment of $1k/photo for access to them. Utter gutter scum.

That's so bizarre. In my country only the government can force you to sell them your land under eminent domain. Insane that in the US, companies can use eminent domain as well.

It shouldn't even be a US State. Stolen land that should be returned.

> indict a previous president over this with all of the ramifications. Some would argue that the consequences are positive. It's important for every citizen to know that nobody is above the law.

Tomatoes are $18NZD/kg in Fiji right now. Imported from NZ. We can't produce our own tomatoes in the hot months. Prices should drop massively come July.

Nope, not at all. BUT on further thought, beef at a local burger joint is locally produced. Everything else (wheat, cheese, onions, tomato, lettuce, sauces, etc) is usually imported. Of course at McDonalds and Burger King, everything is i

> Practically everything has to be shipped/flown in. That's no excuse. Burgers in Fiji cost a quarter of that, and everything is shipped in from far further than it does to Iceland.

Spoken like a true capitalist. "There's money to be made here. We must allow the corporations to take over and build 10,000-acre monoculture farms in the ocean. This is the only way we can make a difference"

The US vs the entire developing world? LOL, of course there are going to be more in the developing world, since that covers most of the habitable parts of the planet.

They sell the articles to other parties, so the more they churn out, the better. It's a content mill. Below is an example of a factually incorrect article that they sold to the Washington Post: https://www.consumerreports.or

Consumer Reports is just blogspam now. If you read anything they write about a topic you're expert in, you realise how much bullshit they spew. It's all just garbage to slap ads around.

News broadcasts are filled with the "dumb and serious mistakes" of the common man. They're turned into pariah's. Why a different standard for the rich?

What I'd like to know is why through the all of the posts and comments about this on here, the people responsible are never named. Who are/were the scoundrels running this bank, and why haven't they been run out of their home
