They are too big to fail. All of the major media depends on FB for traffic. The politicians use it for campaigns. There is probably more but this is enough. Oh...and politicians know that most people pay zero attention to important current events and they do not want to be called out for being the one who messed up jane-q-public's facebook experience. Cause that's how it would be spun (by the platform controlling the message: FB) if they did oppress facebook's privacy intrusion.
Too big to fail. Untouchable. Washington and the mainstream media is being held hostage by Facebook--not to mention democracy. It is a sick fucking twisted symbiosis.
Zuckerberg knows this and is just standing there with his mouth hanging open. I don't think he likes it but the monster is out of the basement and there is nothing he can do without being stripped of his wealth and prestige/power.
"Facebook has told banks that the additional customer information could be used to offer services that might entice users to spend more time on Messenger,"
People are spending too much time as it is on FaceBook...and they want more! What the serious fuck. This is completely out of hand...Facebook reminds me of Hal 9000.
Nurses are generally paid well but they are not getting a cut of the ever increasing pie. Just like college administrators looting the government coffers medical administrators are doing g the same thing and acting like they are broke.
Blue collar incentives amount to peanut shells that fall out of the mouths of upper management. They secretly want management to choke on their own nuts.
Not that so much as cracking the "we have competitive pay and good benefits and some standard perks" nut. The top gets this in their head and pretty much turns off their brain after that point. Even with good pay and benefits and perks a lot of people leave the corporate shitholes and the top is insulated from the reality that they do not provide meaningful work to most of their employees. One guy went into a conference room and played xbox for three fucking weeks trying to get fired. He gave up and quit. This is a place steeped in the cultish belief that it is a wonderful place to work. The employees know otherwise. Still, people get paid well and the other choice is another corporate shithole that pays well.
Banks never rot from the bottom up. Everything in a bank is policy and procedure...every last fucking detail. Policy is always tweaked before approval at the top. Everything that happens in bank is on purpose. Regulators know this and treat every glitch as something that was done on purpose. If the bank cooperates with regulators all they face is a moderate fine. Wonder what regulators are going to do in this case. The $8MM is only the restitution determined by the bank...there could and should be more.
All the banks were stalling. I experienced it first hand and saw complaints online as well as articles and blogs covering the deflection techniques. Banks are crooked as hell...they can't help it. I only deal with credit unions now.
You do not qualify for modification if you are behind. I suspect this was part of the way that banks were using to skip out on modifications. Banks would usually ignore the application for as long as they could hoping you would get behind and therefore not qualified...and then there was the tried and true insurance method where they would wait a long time and then demand that you resubmit the whole application again because some of the documentation was incomplete or whatever. Getting a modification was next to impossible because of the stalling techniques and zero oversight.
There are $1MM RVs that sell used for about $400k sometimes....very nice.
I would opt for a Sprinter based B class so I could live in wal-mart parking lot if I wanted. More than two people is not realistic in a class B though.
I would live in a class B camper out there. It is an automobile essentially, so it can park anywhere. Roll to KOA if you need to dump....plus you can take your home with you on vacation. Bike stored on the back. Fuck $3000 a month shitholes.
When I am on mobile and the page resets more than once I leave. By reset, I mean it gets done loading another turdball and shifts the region with the content you care about out of site.
That stuff is cached...not the problem. The problem is the spy scripts and other tracking shit that should be cut off at the knees with a decent hosts file.

In the US you just have to change the terms of service.

You are turning me on.
The answer I get usually is: Recipes.
We are selling our soul to Hal 9000 for food porn.
Agreed...this is like a really scary, creepy Onion story.

Yeah...I was about to say. This has been faintly attempted by many over the years but no one is willing to share that data...at all.
That is some funny shit.

Nurses are treated like 19th century coal miners.

It isn't about losing houses...it is about a violation of law. The bank broke the law...period.

In the next city over they are living in tents...at least they have a car.

Not to mention the national parks that are the size of some states.

Too late...the fake news already ginned up support for the president. Mission accomplished.
