Jeff Bezos USED to, back when Twitter properly existed.

After what we went through as a Nation dealing with this until the Keating–Owen Act of 1916 and the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 were passed, it's sad Federal enforcement is being handed down to states for this.

Racist White South African is racist at his company, shocker. Hope he has a tempter tantrum.

Depends on where you live. It would be a 100% monopoly on groceries in various parts of the US where they reside. A monopoly doesn't need to be national for it to be one.

Grocer Monopoly

I'd never owned a KIA and recently bought a EV6 for $40,000US after getting solar at home. It's honestly the first KIA I've actually liked.

So, another Sarah Palin...

I only listed Opera b/c Vivaldi is based on it:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivaldi_(web_browser)

Vivaldi is absolutely a descent FOSS product, but will agree with the Opera sentiment and have edited my post more accordingly.

I only listed Opera because Vivaldi's based on it, but that's about where it ends. Vivaldi and FF are the only two I use tbh.

Opera, Vivaldi and Brave are descent alternatives.

EDIT:

Vivaldi (based on Opera, but FOSS and not Chinese) is still good.

I didn't realize Brave inserted referral codes, TIL.

Mmm, Arther, you've been gone a long time... Come back to camp. Please?

Nah, I'm good, I still have 11 different fish to catch and this mutant one around all these hillbillies is bugging me.

"Beyond the Pale" Found the Fantasy genre fan.

Kroger argued it in the article:

In contrast, Kroger and Albertsons Companies merging will bring lower prices to more customers, strengthen and create good-paying union jobs, and bring more fresh, affordable food to more communities,” the company said in an email.

Albertsons and Kroger have been doing this everywhere and Kroger has their eye on acquiring Albertsons as a result.

If successful, a joint merger between Albertsons and Kroger would monopolize Grocery stores and they do NOT result in lower prices in any way shape or form. Proven fact (see Albertsons acquisition of VONS etc).

The government needs to get their anti-monopoly crap together and stop this madness.

As per iFixit and other sites like tvserviceparts, it depends on the Vizio model. Mainstream models you can often replace the screen and even power input board, others you simply cannot without sourcing their brand though.

Example repairable model: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/VIZIO+TV+Screen+Replacement/120241

Vizio makes it 100% impossible to acquire a replacement of: buttons, bezels, control boards and input boards for intellectual property rights reasons.

In short, unlike other brands, they make it far less easy to repair either by IP restriction or by over usage of glues.

Sounds about right: Vizio the throw away brand. Horrible warranty terms, they refuse to repair them even if you offer to pay and completely unrepairable yourself.

Depends on the TV.

Many older mid to high end models had 4+ ports and it sucks you can rarely find a new one with 4 anymore.

My circa 2008 Sony Bravia has 6 HDMI ports that all still work.

In San Diego, big pharma is now heavily investing into AI to do a lot of the chemical compound matching that was traditionally done by people like chemists and biotech employees too.

More money for the company, less paychecks to dispense.
