    The "money mules" may not realize that what they are doing is illegal. If they are people looking for part-time work and have already done weeks of menial tasks before being asked …

    It's not your phone company that's making money from your location data so much as the third party apps (Yelp, Weather Channel etc.) that you have installed on your phone for free.…

    I see you haven't read a lot of right wing media over the past 20 years.

    Don't I already subsidize them by paying taxes? Large tech companies get subsidized by tax incentives which get offset by the taxes I pay. My taxes also go towards food and housing…

    Doesn't a diamond ring lose value once it is sold, though, in terms of re-sell value? A ring worth one bitcoin is not going to lose value once it is sold (aside from market volatil…

    >I have also found that the losing party tends to suffer from the wildest delusions. I would disagree with you on this statement. The far right is consumed by conspiracy theories (…

    I think you're being a bit melodramatic. Outdoor advertising is not intrusive or annoying at all when compared to other forms of advertising. It's not like I'm trying to watch a vi…
