Yeah and we should be glad they're so dumb: It has a nice little "in your area" feature where you can see all the ones who signed up near you(no need to give them location data, you can specify the area and check several to hide your real one).

They of course made it so magas could show support. But in reality it's literally a perfect way to find local business to boycoytt that you might not otherwise know was supporting evil.

They sabotaged themselves years ago by squashing popular votes with an algorithm, so a large amount of people don't realize the size of the site.

You can go look at recent popular tweets and see 200k reactions, meanwhile the top posts on reddit show 10-30k votes, despite having 2-50 times as many behind the scenes.

Not sure vampiric "law" cares about renters rights. And if it does, is it based on current laws in the country they are in, or the country of origin? And is it the origin of vampires themselves or just the vampire turned. And is it based on the time they were turned or modern laws?

Either way, in one instance I they bought it from the bank after missed mortage payments. So they weren't legally living there anyway but counted as last/current resident for the vampire since the bank isn't a person.

That's actually a plot point in at least one of the vampire shows. A vampire buys someones home from the bank, and they're free to enter despite the resident/occupants refusal.

A private company is selling cheap tablets to inmates to let them communicate with their family. They have to use "digital stamps" to send messages, 35 cents a piece and come in packs of 5, 10 or 20. Each stamp covers up to 20,000 characters or one single image.

They also sell songs, at $1.99 a piece, and some people have spent thousands over the years. That's also now just going away.

Then you get to the part about the new company. Who already has a system in Tennessee where inmates have to pay 3-5 cents per minute of tablet usage. Be that watching a movie they've bought or just typing a message.

Which is how a country like Iceland is able to make more than the US despite having a total population of 400k people: They have tons of access to renewable energy through geothermal vents.

Norway makes around twice as much as the US with their 5.5m people, again because of renewables.

Sad fact: American police training involves teaching them to shout "drop the weapon" or similar after they shoot someone. Specifically because it sticks in the mind of witnesses and makes it easier to get away with shooting unarmed suspects.
