  • OP doesn't specify, but I read the gripe as it's a branded truck that's basically an advertisement you pay to give to your kid. And it's geared towards kids exactly to expose them at a young age and make a positive association that will pay off when they grow up.

    I like UPS more as a company than FedEx or Amazon because it supposedly has a decent union and actually pays their employees. But the toy itself is still an ad, and I personally don't view it any more highly than I view similar Amazon truck toys that pander to children. If it were some generic delivery truck I doubt anyone would even notice.

  • IANAL. Probably not.

    Defamation needs to show damages and the judge would need to show that somehow those statements materially damaged them.

    Public figures also need to meet higher bars for defamation.

  • More from the same author:

    Starvation and malnutrition plummet as crop yields increase. Unfortunately a new industry of storing food must be created to ensure the excess is preserved for times of need.

    Free time skyrockets as menial labor is offloaded onto AI and machines. Unfortunately a new self-actualization industry must be created for people to learn intellectual and creative skills they didn't have time or money for.

    Higher education rates increase as governments help fund students and enact laws to keep for-profit-education from price gouging. Unfortunately untold new industries are created as unnoticed talent is given the opportunity to cultivate it.

  • corn

    On indirect consumption, corn is largely used to feed cattle, make high fructose corn syrup, and other products that are not directly eaten as corn.

    This makes corn insanely inefficient as a food source.

  • Yeah. It would be really convenient to calculate if the hotels just stood around in one spot for years so the taxes didn't change every time someone got a room, but with them constantly on the move who could predict anything?

  • Mine defaults to on and I have to turn it off. It also requires an absolutely terrible app that seems to get worse with every update .

    If I'd known I wouldn't have bought it and I don't recommend Blackvue.
