I find Amazon’s alleged working conditions as disturbing as the next person, but let’s not muddy the waters by pretending that prayer is a “basic necessity”. Just because your hobby is really important to you doesn’t mean you get paid time off work; you don’t see avid stamp collectors or model train connoisseurs get…

No one just started randomly spraying them; they did that on purpose to get a photo op, as people trying to advance their…

When you prevent newer, more advanced pipelines from being built, and coupled with ever rising demand, pressure is put on legacy capacity. A self fulfilling prophecy, sort of analogous to what is happening with ageing nuclear plants.

This is disgusting. Look how many of these players are kneeling and not showing the proper respect to the Lord.

Whatevs. Hail satan.
