And here's someone making excuses for a billion dollar company based on nothing but imagination. HP isn't your friend, they're only driven to seek profit.
What's more likely, that there's a legitimate reason the printer needs a subscription or that the printer company is just trying to nickle and dime the end user again to squeeze every penny out of them without providing additional value?
BTW when one of our offices large multifunction printer has issues we call the vendor that maintains it, NOT the company that manufactured it.
You don't need to look at a shitty image board, you can load up Fox News, One America, The Babylon Bee, shit you can just load up Twitter and get plugged right in to your very own right wing grifter telling you what to be mad about and who you want to kill.
It's your very own Two Minutes Hate delivered by your choice of bland talking head.
Then the menu prices should be raised to pay a livable wage to the staff. If I can't afford it I'll eat at home. Don't lure people in with the promise of one price and then guilt them into subsidizing your payroll off the book.
Tipping culture needs to go away, it's not the norm elsewhere and it shouldn't be here.
If your supposition that "Leftists will NEVER achieve anything under a neoliberal capital society" (neoliberal capitalist is redundant btw) were true then we wouldn't have Social Security or the EPA, both of which were passed during Republican administrations but at a time when the progressive wing had influence.
The other commenter is correct that leftists have virtually no power in the U.S. The Democratic party has never been a left-wing, labor-dominated party; they've mediated between business and labor. Things have changed for the worse in American politics. International competition (and greed) has made business owners ruthless, the civil rights movement of the 60s led to a half-century white backlash against the federal government, and then Christian fundamentalists captured the Republican Party. The progressive wing of the Democratic party has been forced into a mostly defensive position.
You're free to not vote of course, but I do think sitting idly by while your country slips into Christofascism because the progressives aren't left enough for you is foolish. There are only two boxes left if you're ruling out the ballot box, and I'd wager most aren't ready to use one of those. Theory is great but realpolitik is how the world is shaped comrade, allies help.
These ghouls have nothing else. They're richer than God and their kids have cushy jobs. They won the game of life, all they can do now is cling to the power they've accumulated in a desperate attempt to stay relevant to a world that will be just fine without them.
They should all be Logans Run'd, starting with the Turtle.
Gutfeld finally made it to a regular time slot eh? I remember when they had this clown prancing around at 2am, not as a re-run but because that was the actual time slot they gave him.
He was a clown then and he's a clown now, FNC must be running out of vapid blondes to parade around if they're scraping Gutfeld up and putting him on.
I'm not a fan of either party but one of them are outright fascists courting the most hateful ignorant people to win votes.
The other are corporate sellouts, maybe one day if we all go vote we can drag the discussion back to the left a little and get an actual lefty candidate instead of corpo whores
That's why Jack Dorsey jumped on it. Why spend all your time and energy maintaining a completed project when you can take $44 billion and explore other, new projects..
There are many many primitive societies with no concept of capital or capitalism so I think I'd take issue with your assertion that capitalism is "just what naturally happens when humans interact with each other."
They think everyone that lives in a city was born there when half of us were born in those small towns and left because of no jobs and ignorant assholes.
Luckily this is a forum and we can all contribute to the discussion. If you read the comment you replied to you'll see they mentioned living under unregulated capitalism; I was adding to what they'd said.
I alternate between Dove and Caress both leave my skin nice and smooth; I'll occasionally use a gel but they feel like they leave a layer so I don't use them much.

What's the opposite of shocked? I'm that.
