And no competition. I'm pretty sure that they can shave some of the price off from that massive jump that came with COVID due to [checks list] "supply chain issues" and yet never went back down after...
I think the idea behind a phone with a camera is that your can immediately upload what you've got in case some thug with a badge takes your device and smashes it
From another article, this seems to be what happened. The cart was purchased via FB Marketplace from somebody who had also cloned it to a multi-cart. Detection likely occurred due to the same cart ID showing active at two places.
They said much the same about Putin and - regardless him being in better initial shape than Trump - he's still around.
Being old and unfit means less event you've got money for top-notch healthcare and people willing to ignore (or take advantage of) your physical and mental decline
I don't think we should have the situations and lack of regulation that leads to billionaires, especially as it will likely continue to drain/erode the quality-of-life for everyone else to eventually lead to trillionaires...
Yup. I use credit a lot but also pay off my cards every pay period. I get that it sucks for merchants, but you know what sucks worse: getting cheated like this on a debit/cash transaction, or worse having your debit card skimmed.
A relative of mine had the latter and the bank froze her account for weeks while investigating. If it was a credit card they'd just freeze the transaction and maybe send you a replacement card with different #

Like yeah, absolutely report this to the vendor but a theft also occurred so at least get a file going. Providing a police file # might have been enough to get them to refund as well
I realize this is sarcasm but honestly: all of you/us are greater than all of them, if enough of us can actually unite on what we want and how to get it.
Unfortunately it's also why there's been a huge effort on dividing people by race/gender/religion/etc that might otherwise have been united in socio-economic struggles.
It also means that the people who need to give something to push for change are (deliberately) kept in situations where they have the least to do.
Less time to organise because of working multiple jobs with little to no free time.
Less money or resources to fight in courts.
Less knowledge due to underfunded education.
Less physical ability due to lack of healthcare or nutritional diet
Less access to childcare or ability to afford such
Etc
Which is why supporting community/network is important.
Having a politician that isn't an evil fuck is good, but that politician isn't going to watch your kids while you're at a protest or in the hospital. They're not going to help you get to work when your car breaks down, or help you fix it.
They might stand beside you at a protest or union meeting, but one or a handful of politicians says less than community of hundreds or thousands.
We need to rebuild communities and support networks. Yes we need the help of politicians - or at least less actively fighting against us - but we also need to rally with each other. The attacks on this guy reflect much of the same as those on our communities.
If somebody is a "gay Muslim trans-woman Iranian refugee amputee" who is willing to stand by me in times of need, I'm willing to stand by them and they're welcome at my BBQ.
