COVID and recent financial policies changed our economy from “charge what it costs + a reasonable profit margin” to “what’s it worth to you?”

I think we need to seperate the ability for a corporation to make decisions of its own free will from the notion of fairness and equity for a society which allowed a franchise like Wendy’s to be created. They’re giving many of their supporters the middle finger after thinking they found a winning lottery ticket.

I can understand being pissed off about it as someone who isn’t rich, but I also understand it’s a system I have no control over other than what I choose to buy myself. I won’t support Wendys if they want to choose profits over people. It’s sad to see more of the world turn into a heartless corporate hellhole.

I personally hope they got their numbers wrong and they fail.

They wouldn’t do it without crunching the numbers first.

They may lose 15% of their customers, but the ones that stay bring in 25% more money with less capital spent on labour and resources by having less customers.

The point isnt making good food for people. The point is funneling money towards the conglomerate that owns the Wendy’s franchise. This is capitalism.

They’re outright accepting less customers in favor of those willing to pay higher prices.

That’s great for a quarter, maybe a year, maybe 5. At what point does it catch up and you’ve trained everyone to stop eating fast food because you wanted to charge more than people can dedicate to food?

I don’t have a lot of sympathy for any of the idiots that buy these idiotic things.

I think the issue is moreso that you’re sending confidential health data to a 3rd party, which is where you lose control. You don’t know the intentions of people looking to steal that data, and you need to consider the worst possible outcome and guard against those. AI training is just one option. Get creative, what could you do with a doctor’s voice and their patient’s private medical history?

Simplest solution is to stop the arrangement until the company can prove data security on their end or implement an offline solution on local servers not connected to the internet.

It is until they prove it isn’t, which they might not be able to do. Many trusted 23andme only to see private data stolen. Make the company prove the security in place and the methods ensuring privacy, because you’ll essentially be liable for any failures of the system from a lack of due diligence.

Sounds about right. RIP I hope your name is remembered for the changes you tried to bring to your people.

How you view death impacts how you live life. You now have a feeling shared and contemplated by all of humankind before you, and all the humankind after you. This is the human condition.

Embrace it, come to terms with it, choose to live today and enjoy rather than worrying about that which you have no control over.

Those words are very easy to type but much harder to live.

Best of luck.

I turned off ECO mode to fix that problem.

Ubisoft directors might need to become comfortable hiding quietly in dark attics when the revolution comes.

Benjy, you’re playing this great bud. Not only did you directly fund the massacre of your own people, now you’re featuring their snuff films for your fantasies.

The world stands with you somehow.

You fucking lunatic piece of shit.

Kinda looks like a dictator grasping at the straws of power.

If it walks like a duck, eats like a duck, quacks like a duck…

Because they would be instantly villified and the world would need to react swiftly with shock and awe to overwhelm the military and remove the country’s leadership.

This way, the Zionists get to relish in hearing of daily murders, slowly and torturously eliminating a race of people they deem to be subhuman, for months and years to come with the implicit support of an uncaring world.

Yo ho ho, shiver me timbers, what a crew the Jolly Roger is getting

Wow, something to be said for someone with such a hateful response to an accusation, almost as if they’re trying to prevent discussion by labelling any potential questioning of tactics as racist to be “judged harshly by the world”. Gaslighting and projecting on full display here.

The tactics lose power when you see and understand them. Spread knowledge.

This guy just got more money than his pension would have given him.

A competing service in the non-Livenation venues would be enough to take a chunk of a Ticketmaster’s bottom line and force them to compete again, something they haven’t had to do in a while.

If Mark Cuban has the resources to take on the drug industry by creating a service to get reasonably priced medicine, can we ask him to make a new TicketMaster that doesn’t rip everyone off?

Lol
