Companies are, and always have been greedy, that’s the point of their existence. They didn’t decide one day to become greedy. They will always maximize profits, always. You should more blame inflation than anything, it’s by far more damaging to your spending power and savings than anything else.

That’ll happen as long as people keep buying them.

Like many others here, travel. I would also like to get into gardening and become a better cook.

“Literal nazi” really?

The government (in any form, city, town, etc) shouldn’t erect statues or monuments.

When I was younger: Vanilla ice cream & maple syrup. Talk about a sugar high!

It’s also used in gum, not sure how much though.

Craftsman has brought back a lot of their manufacturing back to the USA: https://www.craftsman.com/pages/where-its-made

You want me to compare a country to a continent, which contains several different governments?

The US system has it’s problems, obviously, but it also has the best treatments in the world. People come from all over to get treatment in the US.

Money is a great motivator for “big pharma” to develop treatments.

Keypad deadbolt lock for my front door. Not a “smart lock” (I try not to have anything online outside my house). I haven’t pulled a key out of my pocket in years.

If it died I would buy one same day.

Healthcare is one of the heaviest regulated industries in the US. Less regulations would be better-you could go to a store, see a menu board and order an MRI with upfront pricing.

Florida checking in: it’s good for your skin! I don’t like getting sweaty in the 10seconds it takes to walk to my truck, but i prefer it over everything else.

Why is it rigged? Are adults surprised they’re obliged to pay back money they borrowed?I

College prices went sky high when the government started backing student loans, they should have never done that.

It’s not at all capitalism. ISPs are a regulated monopoly. If it were capitalism there’d be a choice.

Try starting your own ISP, the government in your towb wont let you. At most this is crony capitalism.

Yeah, the other heavily regulated industry.

Has to be Freaks and Geeks!

I’m also on K9, while not the prettiest, it’s much better than it was.

If you weren’t aware Thunderbird and K9 have teamed up. On the roadmap for this year including updating the message view and a major overhaul of the UI:

The K-9 interface looks outdated, does not conform to the current material design (Android platform) standards. We intend to bring it up-to-date with these as well as fix some workflow issues. https://developer.thunderbird.net/planning/android-roadmap

Serious question (abd a likely unpopular opinion given the comments here) but do you really think Elon has “inflicted net harn on humanity?” And did you feel that way before he bought Twitter? In my opinion, he’s one of the most important persons of this century so far. Getting us to mars & making electric cars commonplace are huge for humanity.
