I'm mostly with you on this one, but you have to admit, "an animate bowl of tapioca" has got to be one of the funniest ways I have heard of President Biden described as. But yeah, I think he does care and is trying pretty hard to effect some level of significant change. I feel like he's trying to softly get the ball rolling for a second term where he really shows what he's made of.
I hope for and look forward to great change and progress in the coming years.
"However, the proposed settlement against Razer includes a $100,000 civil penalty, plus $1,071,254.33, which the FTC said is equal to the amount of revenue Razer made from the Zephyr and will go toward refunding "defrauded consumers."
Fucking. Yes. The money goes back to the customers. Hopefully, every last cent.
110% seems like it could be a middle ground between actually nuking the company into the ground vs. impose to little of a fine.
They're forced to give every cent back (hopefully that can find its way into actual customers hands instead of the government pissing it away) plus lose an additional 10% of whatever they made that is now a loss on the company financials. Shareholders wouldn't like a loss on their spreadsheets and quickly fire whoever was in charge or sell. It's bad for the business, the stock market, and the economy.
It would quickly train the stock market to deter that kind of behaviour. But we need politicians who are not bought by these companies to be able to pose these strong fines across the board.
10% loss on something on the scale of the likes of what someone like Apple or cough Tesla cough brings in on products would add up very, very quickly. More money back into people's products going back into the economy in the form of more spending anyway, which is good, and more tax revenue that the government might one day learn how to spend efficiently and dilligantly, since the government would keep the 10% loss, I'm sure getting that 110% out of the company takes work, time, and spending anyway.
Capitalism only works with extremely tight regulation. And humans can corrupt that regulation very quickly.
It's 110%, not 10%.
Still hot (the chick is cute too)
If not, that sounds like a good plotline. But honestly that sounds like something they would've done already
Fuck, I could use 20 hours where there's nothing that could guilt me into feeling I could be spending my time better than gaming. Go find a nice comfy couch somewhere and just veg man, enjoy your freedom from responsibility for 20 hours. Won't happen often.
Fuck that sounds nice, I'm trying to sell my boss on changing to a 4-10h day work week, and he hasn't said No yet, so we might be getting somewhere
Now that's what I call pissposting
Luckily I'm pretty sure we are at least on an up trend when it comes to the ozone layer so even when eventually it kicks the can you don't need to worry too much about that anymore. Now we just gotta fix carbon emissions.
