And yet these stores aren't considered a monopoly? There is no competition and no one can make an app and distribute it outside the store in Apple's case, but no you can go to Google where the situation is virtually the same. Regu

Instead of bailing out the banks after the crisis, the government could have decided to do something like this and sever the loans. Let people keep one home (the cheapest if they had more than one) and let the banks take the fall for what w

Taking patients off benzos without properly tapering them off can lead to death. Some clinics are putting their own liability worries ahead of patients' well-being and risking patients lives in the process. It's not every place, b

I've seen plenty of doctors who prescribed benzos and not a single one had any idea how to taper off their patients properly. Nor was a single one interested in it. This is a money-making machine for them and they have no interest, reg

Do you have a source for this "common knowledge"? I've seen plenty of people on methadone do just fine with benzos, especially if they take prescribed doses. I'm not so sure this isn't some bullshit pushed by doctor

I've been working remotely for four and a half years and not once have we used video conferencing. Voice and chat sure, but video is useless, doesn't add anything, and makes a lot of people uncomfortable. I personally despise it.

It's too bad the owners of such establishments don't remind themselves in the same way by giving their employees living wages. I too am fortunate and thankful and have been duped many times but you know who is a lot more fortunate

I've never seen such things, but unless it's stated clearly somewhere beforehand on the menu or elsewhere, I'm pretty sure you don't have to pay such bullshit costs. You should bring it up to the manager and ask why you&

The employees who don't do anything yet think it's right to shame others into tipping them for nothing are the ones who should be ashamed. After accidentally tipping a few times for no reason, I have made it a priority to resist t

Who cares? Why does this article assume that giant corporations like fb and Google are even desired? For everyone but their founders, they are a cancer to society. Europe's cultural barriers are a net positive, preventing these cancers

How about 1% of that year's revenue. Problem fixed. There should never be a false accusation by a merchant. This allows up to 100 of these atrocities before the business goes out of business which is what should happen to corporations

The problem here isn't so much scummy companies like Walmart, which will always exist and make false accusations, but the police who take those accusations and without proof make arrests. They are the truly big part of the problem and

There's simply no way to substantiate your claim. Plenty of people who drink daily get sick and die from the effects of alcohol, including drinking one beer a day. Also, if you're comparing one beer, you need to compare it to the

Of course they're not comparable because MDMA is much, much safer than either alcohol or cigarettes. We're talking millions of deaths a year for alcohol and cigarettes vs. a few isolated deaths with MDMA. Socially, there is no com

What frequency is it safe to consume alcohol at? Last I checked, never, unless of course you want to cite studies funded by the alcohol industry. Your opinion is that MDMA is worse than alcohol. I don't even think it's in the same

Great article but I was hoping to read arguments about why we should turn off air conditioning as the headline promised yet none were provided. I guess the author couldn't think of any despite alluding to costs and a lack of public spa

This article confuses the issue of preferring walking, biking, and mass transit to owning a car with the issue of software freedom. The former is still based on ownership of sneakers and bikes. More importantly, it's not the same issue

The police chased the victim instead of the perpetrator believing the hospital despite the hospital's obvious lies. Yes, it's amazing they did finally stop but giving them credit for chasing a sick girl to another state is prepost

This is one way to make a profit off the patient. I wonder if it would have happened if she had no insurance. Highly unlikely as the hospital wouldn't be able to milk the patient for money. A second issue is these social workers whose
