Corporate America at its Finest

I saw this:

Man told employer not to celebrate his birthday. He was awarded $450,000 after unwanted party. 

Always remember that the cold faceless company you work for will gladly fire you at any time for the slightest of things. It doesn't matter if that company have four employees or hundreds or thousands.

You work for them at their pleasure and under all of their rules. They do not have to listen to you or your "demands" or even things you ask for.

This guy told them not to throw a party because it would trigger a panic attack. Which it did. Then they fired him for having that attack.

It's all total Corporate BS. 

Listen to your employees! 

I know you won't.

Why does nothing work as it is supposed to work in the US?

When I see this headline

Georgia county still pursuing spaceport that voters rejected 

It makes me very angry and only serves as more proof that voting in this country is a waste of time and simply does not work.

The article goes on to say

...that argues the state constitution doesn’t allow voters to veto government projects

Oh? It doesn't? Why the hell not?

Governments exist to serve the people. If the people vote and win, end of project, end of discussion.

This country was founded on the basis that if you, as a person, do not like your government, you have to duty and the authority to overthrow it. So stop saying that a document that created the state itself, and was created by people, doesn't support the interested of the people. That is ridiculous.

The Jan 6th Riots were and are completely justified. I did not support them, but I support their right to take place. More is coming. America is broken.

People are getting sick and tired of bad service, eye-watering financial rape and the general illogic of all the bullshit of absolutely everything that goes on here. Where does it end? When does it stop?

When will things get fixed and get better?

Turbo Tax? Screw Turbo Tax!

Federal Trade Commission accuses Intuit of deceptively advertising TurboTax as free

You wanna know what Turbo Tax is? They are the reason you don't just get a bill from our government; which already has all the information they need to calculate what I (/ you) owe.

They consistently use a bait-switch tactic of letting you start your taxes for free and during the process using confusing messages that hope you accidently upgrade. Or worse they get to a spot three quarters of the way in and tell you because you selected column A on page 2 you have to use their paid version.

The world would be better without Turbo Tax and it's total BS. They exist because they constantly lobby congress to keep their fleecing practices legal and stop the government from changing in the correct direction.

And hey, IRS, send me a bill! You already know where I work and what I earned --- so leave me alone! It is illogical to ask me to report my data and penalize me if I do that wrong, when you already have all this information!

ENOUGH! STOP THE STUPID!

The Earth is not afraid of Us

The Great Barrier Reef is still suffering extensive damage caused by warming oceans

Let us all remember that the Earth is 4.5 billion, yeah, with a B, years old. It has been here long before us and it will be here long after us.

If we are causing problems and changing things the Earth will survive and adapt as it has done for all these eons. 

I think all too often climate change is mentioned and we are meant to feel guilty... and we should, but not for the reason we think. If we are causing species to die out and greenhouse gases to multiply those are terrible things and should be stopped because that is the responsible thing to do. We all need to do something that most people seem very unwilling to do these days and that is take responsibility for our own actions and then all of us need to take responsibility collectively for our planet.

Even if we don't, however, the Earth will survive. Species and climates will adapt, new ebbs and flows will develop. 

Some of the coral in the Great Barrier Reef will survive and it will be the genesis of a whole new and amazing life system under the sea. 

We are merely one of many catalysts for change on this planet. Let us take responsibility where we should and let the Earth handle the rest.

Politicians Lie?

 What kind of super-moron wrote this story and for whom?

The truth in political advertising: 'You're allowed to lie'

Politics is, and always will be, a game of lies. If you don't understand that, then you shouldn't vote. If you think you voting means anything to anyone it doesn't. It's a waste of time.

Don't even get me started on the BS that is the US Electoral college. It should be eliminated. Now.

It is not a search engine, it's a marketing data collection box

Lawsuit claims Google's Order Online button directs customers away from restaurants' sites

Stop thinking that Google is a search engine that will assist you in finding anything on the web. It may have been that for a brief, shining second way back in its infancy.  At a time when all search engines were struggling to figure out how to make money. 

Once Google realized the money is not in giving people good search results they stopped doing that and switched to collecting and selling data on you -- without your permission. 

Today, that is all they do and they do it well.

Someday far in the future people will say, "Remember when it was legal to steal and collect personal data without a users permission?"

"Scary times. You could never get away with that today."

I can't wait for that future to happen right now.

Remember: Google has no interest in giving you good search results. They just don't care and since you don't seem to either everyone loses.

Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! You are going to kill people!

NHTSA greenlights self-driving cars without manual controls 

Open your ears and listen closely.

The world does NOT need self-driving cars. EVER.

They are going to kill people. 

Get it though your stupid American head and stop it now before anyone losses their life.

PLEASE!
