    It's crazy to me how MS continue to do stuff like this. Ads in the start menu, anti-user UX, spam apps, etc. Every time I think their behavior will change and I am always disappoin…

    You think XYZ Company is going to listen to some consultant telling them in a press release that they should go back into the office because some REIT needs more money in it? Why w…

    If you are willing to believe a nonsense conspiracy like that then there is no way we could have a productive conversation.

    The idea of a "one time" tax is so stupid that any person, regardless of income, should oppose it. It just makes no sense whatsoever.

    It's 2026, the conspiracy theory that business people wanted RTO for office space value has been debunked 100 times. Such a silly, nonsense idea.

    Nobody would say we should divide the total cost of all USA highway spending by the miles driven by a suburban family to figure out what it should cost them. Or would you? Because …

    Sorry, I didn't realize you're a parody account. A typical trip on the NYC subway is not 20 dollars haha. You almost got me. Thanks for the jokes bud. Hilarious that there are seri…

    You seem to have a axe to grind against cities. And based on how you describe them, you actually never lived in a city with children. If you think most families who live in a city …

    Nobody is forced to take out 200k Gender Studies degrees that don't pay anything.

    Yes, that sounds great! I love my iPhone and air conditioning. Don't you? Will you be the first to go volunteer to back to the stone ages? I didn't think so.

    People have been saying the climate is going to fall apart and kill us all for the past 30 years. It's time for a new approach.

    Our expanding economies and improving quality of life depend on young people and a growing population. So it brings up an interesting question. In 20 years, will countries start to…

    That would be true if the money spent was actually optimized on output rather than expensive contractors, consultants, and third party profits. :(

    Some of these farms are truly impressive. Although balancing the health of the fjords is hard. People seem to prefer "wild" salmon but just like we don't eat "wild" cow anymore, I …

    Imagine seeing a comment you disagree with and find the urge to dig into someone's history and try to tar and feather them. Do better.

    Insane? Please stay on topic and avoid personal attacks. Disagreement is not insane. Believe it or not, not everyone who disagrees with you is some paid shill. Like... really? Hila…

    > Hold management accountable to promises made to staff This is just silly. Management are the most accountable people in any organization. This makes no sense.

    Sorry, I don't need collective action to tell me what soda to buy, or what beverage to consume. What a silly notion. I take action myself to moderate my soda intake all the time. Y…

    Comparing soda to cigarettes is ridiculous. People like soda, and in moderation, it is completely fine. There is no reason to single out sugary sodas to try to "solve" obesity. It …
