Don't worry, there's enough blame for everyone to share

On the one hand I imagine they've done some kinda analysis on how number go up, on the other it's hard for me to imagine that the money you spend on paying your employees is better directed towards making everyone frustrated rather than just keeping the store a clean and pleasant place to be in
Actually, that's an avocado
It was time in 2016. Biden barely won in 2020 and somehow Dems took that as a mandate to be even more conservative. At this point I have no idea how progressive ideas ever get implemented.
Exact same happened to Obama and the 2008 recession. Getting blamed for shit that happened before the election even took place. But Democrats refuse to play the blame game, people got to spout the lies about things being cheaper when Trump was in office unchallenged, and the Dems refused to promote solid solutions to even the most basic of core issues like antitrust, price controls, higher minimum wage, or even fucking climate change.
And now, with so many fewer people turning out to vote for Dems, even Trump's lies about voter fraud will have been validated in the minds of the morons, who will attribute those low numbers to harsher rules stopping the fraud.
99% sure Lemmy has a higher average age than any social media other than maybe facebook
If only they'd said "what did II miss?"
The millions of years preceding modern medicine didn't fix it, so I'm not sure how much time you eugenicists think evolution takes
That's just it though; every drop counts. It's no more "just a drop" than our actual votes are.
It's also like how people refuse to leave Twitter. "Everyone else is there! How could my leaving make any difference?"
The worst part is--it's really not. These guys could all stay millionaires and we could still solve our system's worst distribution issues. Their biggest hardship could be dealing with not being The Guy With The Biggest Number when they go to their rich guy parties.
Personally I'm in favor of making them destitute and/or imprisoning them, but going that far really isn't strictly necessary.
I know I'm ducking under the joke here but I'm pretty sure that case is famous enough that lots of younger people would still get it
The same way people watched cable TV for decades. The slow ramp up of ads has a portion of the population prepped to be slightly frustrated, but willing to deal with it.
But yeah having been spoiled with no ads for years now, I have to mute my parents TV every time I go over. Even muted, there's still something about lots of ads that draws my eye more than whatever the actual show is. Drives me nuts.
