WOW. Look, being in the country without "authorization" isn't even a crime. It's an administrative matter. Don't go implying that actions are somehow worse when someone who took th…

I mean, who even steals anymore? These people are so out of touch.

These exist in retail space now, but you can't go there. DashMarts are full-service general stores that delivery drivers stop at to pick up orders. It's like a ghost kitchen but fo…

Violence is okay to perpetrate, but not to respond with. A violent person will probably get it out of their system quickly. If you fight them, though, that creates a feedback loop …

The shrink from "forgetting" to scan things is how they pay you.

Most policy decisions should put people in prison, laws be damned. We have to reign in corporate overreach while we still have a government to do it with.

The delay gives you time to arrange a refund from Visa/Mastercard or to make an insurance claim, if you're a business. You don't really have to lose anything from theft. It's just …

People don't need "rehabilitation", they need help. Nobody would need to shoplift if they could afford what they need. Prices should always be indexed to the customer's income. Tha…

Peak COVID never ended. It's more important now than ever to stay vaccinated, maintain social distance, and mask up.

I swear that the only thing that draws people to this industry is the desire to escape their home village. It certainly isn't the quality of conversation with like-minded tinkerers…

You can just say it.

You're right! Your anecdote is much better than theirs. You won me over at least.

Let's think about this. You say that Texas and Florida are "donors" in the same way as California is. But what do those states do? Take Texas. Its main industry by far is oil and g…

People in red states can't afford those materials. Half of the houses in the Midwest still use PVC siding and wooden stilts in crawlspace. The first hot day or heavy rain they see …

California supplies a significant percentage of the federal budget -- more than your state in all probability. And our insurance industry is the fourth biggest in the world. We can…
