Yep exactly this. Even though the grocery store is extremely close to my house, it’s the only one, it’s still not a reasonable walking distance for trips 3-4 times per week, and the food is exactly like you said, mostly treated.

I’ve been to several places in Europe and the grocery situation there is so much better, it’s honestly astounding.

I would be very surprised by that. Like the other poster said, it’s almost certainly Citizen’s United. Without it there wouldn’t be any of the erosion of regulation that we’ve seen blast through the US in less than two decades.

“Sustained military campaign”. So a war then.

Complain that it isn’t reasonable.

You can compile Java and Kotlin to native if you want. That’s not the issue here. Like OP responded to you, it’s not a property of the language but the implementation.

Carrying it in public can mean literally displaying it in your front yard in many jurisdictions, so I don’t really agree with your assessment.

Wait you can turn off the beeping???

That was a completely false rumor that spread like wildfire because people like you will believe anything they read.

I know you’re trying to make a funny joke here, and I completely agree with the sentiment. I just want to point out a spot I think the story could be improved upon. People that hang out with the CEO don’t get 30k dollar raises. They get 100, 200, 300 thousand dollar raises, in the forms of stock. Bonuses are usually based on the performance of the company as well, so it’s more likely to be 100k plus bonus. I understand the difference might not seem that much, but people like me (I consider myself well off) don’t meet the ceo or play golf with anyone even within arms reach of the ceo, but I have gotten normal 10k bonuses and 30k dollar raises.

These people are so so so soooo much higher on the wealth spectrum that it doesn’t even compute. Like the people in Home Alone wouldn’t even be talking to the CEO level of wealth.

They can’t, but there are plenty of Puerto Ricans living in states where they can vote.

I’m not sure it can. It would be Congress and the president. The Supreme Court wouldn’t be able to overrule, that’s the whole point of the separate branches split the way they are
