All prices are set based on what consumers are willing to pay.

The only way prices ever go down is by exercising a decision not to buy something or to go somewhere for an item.

It will not come from the government, unless the government mandates a specific rate.

It's the great flood of (miss)information, drowning out truth, and AI is only making it worse. People have forgotten how truth is generated and why it is valuable. This will continue untill people adapt to the new reality that information (AI) is not the same thing as truth. And people being people... they will only adapt and learn after a lot of people get hurt.

Agreed. We should be supporting Israelis who recognize and promote that the only solution to peace is harmonious coexistence. Calling it "marketing" seems irrelevant and disingenuous, about as solid an argument as calling "peace and love hippies" fakers.

You both aren't wrong... But this isn't about you.

All this convenience in tech. We never stopped to ask ourselves what we were giving up. Add protest to the list of sacrifices to the altar of affluence.

Seems like an irrelevant detail.

Wait, you are telling me he drank water too???

Huh. I forgot about that thing until this article.

I'll forget about it in about two minutes.

How about we spend all this money and time on the hundreds of other ongoing murder investigations. A CEO's family doesn't need this government handout. They get paid enough to take care of things privately.

Just one more example of the perversion and inequality of America, and how the rich continue to loot the country.

I'm not convinced that people, yes even the bad ones, wake up, get out of bed, and think to themselves "let's do evil today". Rather, I think people tell themselves lies about how their actions are morally justified for some greater good, or at least remain willfully ignorant (i.e. psychopaths), or just complicit in a rotten system (passive bystanders).

I can't relate with this feeling of wanting to "troll people on Reddit" at all. Are you conjoined at the hip with them? Is your identity defined by your relationship with them?

Cut them out. Try some scissors.
