Florida spent $200,000 on testing and found 100 people, 2% of the total, to be using drugs. They spent more money on testing than if they’d just given welfare benefits to those 100 people.

How do you consider that anything but a failure?

Because they used it as a tool to hunt down and arrest civil rights groups and Vietnam protestors.

If they utter “security for children” the government will probably not only drop the lawsuit but pay Apple $20 billion.

It sucks but I’m sure this has to do with preventing fraud. It would be suspicious if some inactive account just started buying hundreds/thousands of dollars of items that hold no ‘real’ value. Then you wind up with a charge back from a stolen credit card and a seller without their items.

What kind of company has such a bad drug problem that they need to bring in dogs to find it? Absolutely ridiculous.

And then 6 months from now Samsung will release their own ad showing items getting crushed. Both these companies suck.

Probably all three.

Edit: jesus they are stranded on an island in fucking Alaska. I can only imagine how little oversight there is (which is why it’s so isolated) and how much abuse must occur there because of it.

How is that clickbait? Calling income “a bonus” doesn’t mean it isn’t money being paid out by the company. When my company gives me shares, it’s still income that I pay taxes on because it’s something with a tangible value that can be easily converted into cash.

CEO salary being a small fraction of their total compensation is extremely common because wages are taxed higher than everything else. They structure it like this to avoid taxes. Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg were/are paid $1 per year base salary and they’re two of the wealthiest people on the planet.

Said the AI generated article.

Myers, who says he’s a licensed security guard, was sitting in his car Wednesday to conduct “overwatch” while his son trains because “he has seen numerous crimes occur” in the parking lot, according to the probable cause statement.

His son was taking a jiu-jitsu class next door. This guy is like peak gravy seals/tacticool wannabe.
