  1. This is straight up #fraud. And as usual, there’s zero consumer protection. Even when caught it’s cheaper to just pay the minuscule fines rather than do anything about it.

  2. Cool, cool, the #ChronicleOfHigherEd wants to charge us 10% more (haggled down from 20%) to support their work on an AI feature we didn't ask for and don't want. #libraries #AI #capitalsim

  3. This is just so damn good.

  5. Just read an article where the author's solution to why many Americans are barely living paycheck-to-paycheck is to:

    * "Save more!"
    * "Live within your means!"
    *"Stop impulse buying due to
    FOMO (Uuugh)"

    Here's a very expedient solution never put on the table:

    *"Make the wealthy and
    corporations PAY THEIR DAMN
    TAXES!" along with
    "*Close all the loopholes in the
    U.S. tax
    code allowing corporations and
    rich asses not to pay taxes!"

    This alone would do a great deal to resolve income inequality.

    But no, let's demonize those struggling financially who already pay a disproportionate share of government taxes.
