I take exception to the statement "The only time that the Sun can be viewed safely with the naked eye is during a total eclipse, when the Moon completely covers the disk of the Sun."
When the Moon completely covers the disk of the Sun, you can't view the Sun at all. So, safe, OK, but misleading.
My Motorola W755 went into low battery failure mode when I call 911. I suspect it's due to a problem with enabling GPS on emergency calls. I was able to call back and complete the call though using an unactivated (wifi only) smartphone that I had gotten free after rebate:-)
And the victims get a 10% discount on future purchases (or services) from the company that bilked them in the first place.
Class action suits were a great idea when they were used for social benefit like going after polluters who were untouchable by individual victims, but these days they seem to be mostly moneymakers for the legal firm that handles the lawsuit premised on some minor impropriety (or none sometimes) of the defendant entity.
It looks like this Ukrainian legal group just found a more profitable way to skin their clients.
“I’m one of the richest New Yorkers there is, and after today’s outcome it’s going to stay that way,” the snarky Shkreli declared. “And, uh, it feels pretty good.”
He later invited a Daily News reporter into his home for an exclusive sitdown where he put the odds of serving even a modest prison sentence at 50/50.
“But hey, if the government wants to spend tens of millions of dollars and that’s all I get...” he said.
Finally, Wal-Mart let Vlasic up for air. “The Wal-Mart guy’s response was classic,” Young recalls. “He said, ‘Well, we’ve done to pickles what we did to orange juice. We’ve killed it. We can back off.’ ” Vlasic got to take it down to just over half a gallon of pickles, for $2.79. Not long after that, in January 2001, Vlasic filed for bankruptcy–although the gallon jar of pickles, everyone agrees, wasn’t a critical factor.
So after that whole long story, the end result was that Walmart's insistence on selling Vlasic gallons for under $3 was not the reason for Vlasic's bankruptcy?
Maybe I missed the point?
But then I got to this paragraph:
John Fitzgerald, a former vice president of Nabisco, remembers Wal-Mart’s reaction to his company’s plan to offer a 25-cent newspaper coupon for a large bag of Lifesavers in advance of Halloween. Wal-Mart told Nabisco to add up what it would spend on the promotion–for the newspaper ads, the coupons, and handling–and then just take that amount off the price instead. “That isn’t necessarily good for the manufacturer,” Fitzgerald says. “They need things that draw attention.”
And find that Walmart told Nabisco to just lower their price instead of roping in customers using newspaper coupons that they will inevitably forget to use, or have to buy an unwanted crappy tabloid (I'm thinking "NY Post" with coupons versus "Washington Post" without coupons) just to obtain, for the same difference in price; without the cost to Nabisco of advertising in the newspaper to boot.
And now I'm thinking that maybe Walmart isn't the horrible ogre it's usually portrayed to be. At least in these two cases.
Three Square Market just got a lot of free advertising (for only the cost of injecting some garbage between the thumb and forefinger of some of their disposable employees).
Well, maybe not all of that free advertising will bring complements though.
My bank does not hold me responsible for bogus charges on my credit card either when they detect them or when I do. Debit cards however are a different story, although I understand that many banks offer similar protection guarantees for debit cards also.
I don't follow your gist about CC companies making up "identity fraud" to cheat their customers, but when I've had bogus charges on my CC they were either rapidly picked up by the CC company and reported to me to allow or disallow or else I noticed them when I did a periodic online inspection of charges and called the CC company. The result in every case was that I was not charged a penny and the CC company express mailed me a new card.
Every time I have been robbed of cash or accidentally dropped cash from my wallet, on the other hand, it was gone forever.

Don't forget the ad revenue. We mustn't do the racists out of their Internet ad revenue.

And collect per-click ad revenue as well?

One of these things is not like the others.

Another Trump basher! Please!
Trump is no slacker. Between 1991 and 2009 he filed for bankruptcy six times.

How do you come off comparing hime to some poor slob who took 50 years to file only five times.
That's a ridiculous thought. Everybody knows that the Holy Grail of medical research is a cure for baldness.
Yeah, shipping it to your house in (I'm assuming) the US is one thing, but this guy had to have them shipped to China!

Your comment is very interesting but the obvious question arises: "What is some white kid who tries to hold you up with a knife going to find out?"
