LMAO, considering big business is buying up homes literally for this purpose, I'll take what he's saying with a grain of salt.

Does that mean we should over extend on buying a house that's outside of our means? Absolutely not, but at the same time, housing is still way overpriced and since shit is barely regulated, both from a seller and a purchasers standpoint, there's a lot of regular people getting stuck with a lot of shitty options for living situations.

I'm sorry but that Principal is an absolute cunt. She was targeting that kid, regardless if he did or didn't do anything wrong...

Fuck it. I'll just say this instead. It's time to break up the tech monopolies. Google, Microsoft, etc.

These ad block users should be considered the cost of doing business and they should be careful with targeting them.

This kind of thing springs users into action to either find or use work arounds or create a alternative platform.

So it worked when Trump was elected, but now it doesn't... how are these people on TV?

I told everyone that once contracts for cell phones were replaced with payment plans, companies would start gouging their customers with higher phone prices because the customers could now "afford" it.

Greedy ain't the right word imo.

And they're hoping that you and I aren't paying attention

What they meant to say was "We didn't have the foresight to monetize these heavy users, so we will be doing that now. But first we'll create the problem..."

This is also why most jobs should be unionized

One thing I didn't like from Reddit, the elitism and gatekeeping posts from its users. OP, I'm right there with you.

If these damned companies would stop relying on this stupid sub model and just offer decent products at a decent price and not worry about neverending growth, this wouldn't be a fucking problem. God I hate the way shit is going.
