The sum of laid off workers annual salary equaling a tiny fraction of the CEO’s pay is nauseatingly gross and happens an equally nauseatingly gross number of times. Very very sad. I wish all those impacted the best.

Love is a bit strong but yeah, I find it easier and more convenient than shopping in person, if I could find every product in a store that I find on Amazon.

Confused about the “no more free 2-day shipping” statement.  In my experience, there is more and more free same-day and 1-day shipping.

Followed closely (since it’s related) by the idea that if a company projects, say, 5 billion in profit for a year, but only makes 4.5 billion in profit, it’s panic time. It’s still 4.5 billion in profit, ya d-bags!

“Growth” always has been, and continues to be, the most asinine metric of success the business world has ever latched onto. Like cancer, it eventually kills the host, due to greed.

This is the wrong take.

If your business model revolves around users posting and creating content then yes, you are definitely responsible for what is posted.

And the fact that you can “say whatever you want” anonymously, and have zero repercussions for it. Require people to use their real names, and social media will change drastically.

She’s actually allowed to do whatever the fuck she wants, and you can choose to pay for her content or not. Are you this mad when bands go on multiple ‘farewell tours’ or athletes un-retire to play another season?

Sure you can, if you can create reliable artificial labor.

More junk science, probably supported by the same folks who are trying to ban gas lines from new homes in California because going all-electric is “greener”. Most of these so-called studies are questionable at best.

Dear BMW, contrary to popular belief, there are still people with eyes in this world, please stop assaulting us.

...and not a single car I’m clamoring to get in line for. That said, I am interested in the new Impreza, and amused by the new Prius. I’m so happy to see an Impreza that’s not a SUV / CUV wannabe and the Prius AWD seems like a pretty good second car for me. 

Better than the other fiction books that most of them use to swear in on.

“But just look at the G80 Sport: It’s gorgeous.”

So no human art has ever been influenced or learned from any of the work that came before? I never knew that!

You never, ever take an oversize load over a railroad track unless you have adequate space on the other side to get clear. If necessary you ask law enforcement to stop traffic so you can cross or turn onto a road to gain the necessary clearance. The trucking company is in a world of hurt.

if the truck driver was really just sitting there waiting for a green light doesn’t make him at fault? You have to be sure you can cross your entire vehicle before attempting to cross any kind of intersection right?

yeah same for texting and sleepy drivers. lets not focus only on the DUI folks. controlling your alcohol intake is every bit as easy as controlling your cell phone use.
