Bingo. Letting people get strong armed into these sorts of "agreements" is a perversion of free markets.

Judge, jury, and executioner, apparently.
I had some lucky timing with an inheritance. Also two software engineer's salaries. Even then, it took a chunk out of our finances. We also got a bit lucky. The house was probably selling a little below its value and we got in right before the Fed really started pumping the brakes with interest rate increases.
Back when I was doing a weekly shopping trip on my bike with panniers, I tried self-checkout once when the cashiers were busy. Never again. The tall bags just screwed with the sensors too much. Now I'm maybe a bit more inclined to use it because I moved to a house just a quick walk to the store. It can make sense to just dump all of the items on the weighing platform and put them in my backpack and reusable bags later.
Kind of like no independent journalists can investigate in Gaza about Israeli-built tunnels under a hospital under IDF control, right?
Okay, so explain this: why would Israel lie about the tunnels? It makes perfect sense that Hamas would operate largely in tunnels including under vital infrastructure, tunnels are used for smuggling in other places around the world, and bringing the IDF into hospitals is a huge headache in terms of PR. So what's in it for Israel?
My understanding is this lie was used by Hamas to isolate Israel from Arab nations where much of the public was frankly horrified by the brutal violence Hamas had aimed specifically at civilians. So no, it wasn't just "the one relatively inconsequential thing," it is a lie that has had serious consequences.
Especially anyone who believes that individuals are less free now than they were historically in the United States. Only the ignorant or biased make that claim.
No, no, that's a godly incestuous drugged rape scene.
Who doesn't love a little 996?
Totally agree. Opponents of affirmative action, reparations, and the like will quote this: line:
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
Without doing the basic research to find that MLK Jr. was in favor of reparations. Or try to bend his words to supporting capitalism when he was more socialist (though he opposed totalitarian communism).

Yeah, it's just a bad headline.
