Because the reason oil companies have been making record profits is because production was not cheaper?

Is that the argument being made? Oil faced with higher costs = higher profits,therefore lower costs = lower profits?

Well, they wrote some letters. There's nothing more the nations law makers can do to protect citizens from corporate greed and price gouging. /s

WLFI has a current value of $0.0000000000034 USD.

That's about 3 billion WLFI for 1 penny. What a deal!

Didn't Google try this a decade ago with Google Glass, but recieved such a negative response over privacy concerns that it abandoned the project.

Am I remembering this wrong? Have people's views on privacy changed to the point where this is acceptable? Does Meta not have the features that Google did which prompted to backlash?

Reading the article, it sounds more like Baris is making shit up to try and energize Trump voters.

Neither was a Democrat. The first was a Republican and the second was a former Trump supporter. It's conservatives that are trying to do the assassination.

If these posts are made in a relatively short time then it could appear as spam. I browsing New is my default and, on a couple of occasions, I have blocked a user simply for being too active and flooding my feed.

I'm guessing Trump does not remember when Elon Musk tried to bully Zuckerberg into a physical fight leading to Zuckerberg accepting the challenge and Musk having to tuck tail and run.

Have you tried taking it anywhere that requires a transfer? Last time I saw, all transfers required going to Union Station. Doesn't matter if that is the opposite direction of where you want to go. Union Station is (or was) the only option if you were not traveling in a straight line.

All of my knowledge on Los Angeles public transit is about 15 years old. I really do hope that they have improved since then.

I am also just talking about just the Metro rail system. I never attempted any other public transit options in LA.

Los Angeles. No car. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

That city has one of the most dysfunctional and impractical public transit systems I have ever known. Admittedly, I have not experienced many, but it is bad enough for me to believe the conspiracy theory that car manufacturers have influenced city leaders to ensure that cars are mandatory.

The ban also forbids marketers from exaggerating their own influence by, for example, paying for bots to inflate their follower count.

I wonder if "followers" includes users and how that will impact Twitter, Reddit, Facebooky, Instagram, TikTok, etc who use stats like active users to drive ad sales.
