It’s almost like a ‘currency’ not backed by a governmental financial institution isn’t real, and the money put in was only used to pay back earlier investors.

If only their was a name for that sort of thing.......

It is, but I was just citing the people who want more than what they paid for are people who also are cheap. The rest is still relevant to the article. 

They even have a new advertising campaign!

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again, if “just doing your job” is “quiet quitting” then giving sub-inflation raises or increasing insurance costs is “quiet firing”

how about twitter just turns itself off from September to... well forever? i mean that would cut down on a lot of misinfo.

Conserve Water: Shower with a friend.

How do you shower in only 8 mins? Thought everyone takes at least 15…

Ugh, the original once you get past the effects and shiny CGI is just unwatcheable now. The plot is tired, the writing is sloppy, it’s offensive in it’s hubris and cultural appropriation, the acting is either lazy or phoned in (not to bag on the actors but clomping about a green room is not the most conducive…

Man,... If only there was some kind of organization that everyone could decide should be put in charge of regulating these kinds of businesses so that people don’t get taken advantage of...
