Meanwhile the "software" sits in bustling cattlefarm like largescale offices. There is no money for startups but there is money for playing startup and the various wirecards. Wha are theset the fuck is wrong with that culture, that it stopped innovating and tried to life from rent-seeking on ic vehicles? A d when pressed for answers- all it has is these lame passive aggressive rhetorical questions?

So you think it's okay for someone to fall sick eating bad food that the person could've learned about and avoided via reviews? Will you pay their hospital bill? A child or old person could even die from it. It is not nothing.
