  1. Isn't that the plan, to put an end to that Devil's Music, rock and roll? ;)

    So I work hard and am not on public assistance, and Amazon wants to punish me with higher prices for that?

    I call bullshit

  5. Sorry Comrade,

    But Encryption that keeps data safe IS the goal, and if you can't crack it, tough.

    Privacy is a right. PERIOD.

    Perhaps if you and your fellow evil losers in government stopped violating Americans rights constantly and betraying the public's trust at every opportunity you'd have some sympathy out there.

  6. Over-reaching, constitution-violating pricks. Time for Rhode Island to be removed from the US

    SHe had someone with her at the casino that could've have driven her to the hospital. It's BS what they charge. If they are just transporting and not using that equipment, they shouldn't be allowed to charge for the unused services/materials

    It's a sick racket.

  11. We know the problem exists, but the 1% that own the government don't WANT change, they like wielding power over the "peasants". It will take a fresh revolution and 1% blood lining the streets to correct this at this point...

    Yep. Ambulances are insaely expensive (and may not take your insurance).

    My mom got sick at one of Detroit's casinos and they insisted she take an ambulance to the hospital rather than her friend driving her to the hospital and it cost her over $600 for a 2 mile trip to the hospital, no special lifesaving needed or used, just a ride on a gurney in the ambulance...

    Ridiculous

    THe time for the pizza coupon is 15-20 minutes out from the pizza shop so you can order on your cell/smart phone and then pick it up rather than pulling over, ordering, and then sitting and waiting for the pizza.

    Altho personally I find all this advertising abhorrent and am sick to death of constanly being advertised to. I tend to take the more annoying ads as as example of who NOT to do business with.

    And what is forcing users to use Google's browser?

    Edge
    Firefox
    Chrome
    Safari

    and I'm sure there are a few browsers I'm forgetting. There is choice, you don;t like what Google is doing or at least what Chrome is doing, don't use it/them. There are other search engines too. There's no law saying you have to search or advertise through Google. ANd there's no law saying people are forced to put up with your ads either.
