In true genie fashion, the only change in their life is that now, a single occasion where a racist person decided not to hold a door open for them, changes so that they do.

Genies are all about malicious compliance.

FYI, the supposed “Nuclear Gandhi” bug is not a real thing:

This is a myth, no such bug ever existed. There’s a whole Wikipedia page about it:

That sounds like cope. I remember the first couple of episodes of the season getting criticized heavily on Reddit, for reasons that had nothing to do with the ‘changing of the guard’, after I also found myself bored watching same.

Maybe it improved after that, but I wouldn’t know, I moved on.

if their profit didn’t need to take a useless billionaire leech into consideration then prices could be lower.

You know the profit existed first, right?

That last part is complete bullshit as well and you would know it if you knew anything about crown corporations.

Yeah, they’re totally not huge money pits, I was wayyy off, lol.

It is the lowest-rated season to date on IMDb, so you might just be an outlier.

You are suggesting that $X in profit = $X of having “overcharged” the customer.

This is completely ridiculous on its face. No private entity will or should ever go to all the effort and time and resources to start a new business if there will never be any profit. Obviously.

And ironically, even if the government gets involved in providing X instead, without profit in mind, the bureaucracy is such that its ‘no profit’ price for X is invariably higher than a price a private entity can charge while profiting.

This is completely unrealistic.

A UBI of just $10,000 a year, and only to all working age Americans, would still cost several trillion dollars, every year.

Even if you could wave a magic wand and convert the combined net worth of all of the US’s billionaires to cash 1:1, that cash wouldn’t fund even that meager amount of UBI for more than a couple of years.

Imagine being proud of being gullible, couldn’t be me lol

lol, denial

the reason you are a billionaire or your company makes billions in profit is because you overcharge your clients

This is an assumption.

Costco’s founder, who was also the CEO up until a few years ago, is a billionaire. And that’s a company that is famous both for its very competitive prices on the customer side (insert infamous story about ‘threatening’ to kill someone if they raised the price of that hot dog), AND for how well it treats its workforce.

You can become a billionaire just by creating something that a large number of people find valuable, and continuing to own it as its value in others’ eyes increases over time. Because that’s what net worth fundamentally is–it’s the price tag of how valuable everyone else thinks shares of that company are worth.

The implication that you HAVE to be ripping people off to acquire wealth (and when it comes to increasing one’s wealth, ‘billionaire’ is just a distinction of scale) is just plain wrong, an ignorant talking point.

It really is pathetic how black and white the thinking is.

‘Not instantly assuming guilt with no evidence and an anonymous accusation? Why are you DEFENDING him?!?! 😡😡😡’

I don’t know if he’s guilty, and neither do you. Only difference is, I’m actually willing to admit that fact, while you decide to pretend you know anything about the situation.

Calling out sanctimony isn’t trolling. Spend less time looking down your nose at people and more learning what words mean.

How would it fuck them out of a job?

…the place that employed them ceases to exist?

Besides, shoplifting is nowhere near the scale that it would make an entire store unprofitable.

Doesn’t matter. However small or large the negative impact is, it goes down the ladder, not up. The rank and file suffer first and most, always.

Rationalizing theft because you want to feel like you’re Robin Hood is just that, a rationalization. It’s not the reality.

The implication that child molestation is something only/primarily rich people do is colossally ignorant.

You need several clues.

As if the comment itself wasn’t cringy enough, imagining how clever you thought you were while writing something so off-the-charts smug and condescending just magnifies it exponentially.

Grow up.

Has it occurred to you that child molesters might not be explicitly informing everyone they know about their crimes?

I had a classmate in high school who got caught in a pedo sting operation. He himself was more of an acquaintance, but we had a mutual friend I was very close to, and we all hung out together on many occasions over the years.

Should we both be getting accused too because we were friends with that guy? Fuck off with that nonsense, how the fuck were we supposed to know?

That’s exactly what I am assuming going forward though.

And hopefully you’ll realize sooner than later that this is a flaw, not a virtue.

Assuming guilt just because it confirms your biases is something you should be ashamed to have done.

Not jumping up conclusions to confirm your own biases and assumptions is not naive, and the fact that you care more about whose “team” someone is on, than whether an accusation about them is actually true, exposes you as lacking integrity and real values, and not caring about actual justice.

Appropriate time for: shoplifting will fuck hundreds of innocent workers out of a job before it kills one corporation.

Think about who you’re really hurting. If a Walmart location stops being profitable enough, it’ll just close, no sweat off their back. But everyone working there is now out of a job.
