These folks won’t witness it either. Not with that eye anyway.

Hello from kbin. It’s nice over here.
Not the original person you responded to, but I type 120ish wpm. The trick is to try to tap into the same part of your brain that verbalizes words when you talk, rather than the part that composes stuff when you write.
It’s usually bags of money and pallets of equipment that go “missing” and find a new home with a warlord.
As with most things, “free market” is what they demand when they don’t get have access to the market or can’t command the whole market.
Once they have access or enough of a percentage to set the prices, suddenly the best thing is high barriers to entry and whatever else will help them maintain inelastic demand.
Why do people tap their breaks in the left lane when passing someone slower on the right?
Please stop. Tap your breaks if you’re signaling something going on in front, or if you need to slow down faster than just taking your foot off the gas will slow you.
Very unlikely. There’s a statement at the bottom that explains what the fee is. There’s a QR code at the top for more information, which OP cut off.
I doubt they went through the effort of updating their POS system, providing links to info on the receipt, and chose not to post a sign or put a note on the menu. Everywhere I have been with a service fee like this posts it, which would negate any legal issue.
Caveat emptor.
It’s literally what’s happening.
Texas used the same concept to empower private people to sue abortion providers and receivers under civil law since they couldn’t do it criminally.
The country as a whole has done it for a long time with cellphone data, the five eyes alliance, etc.
They have access to information they’re barred from getting directly themselves, and they get it from private companies. Spying by proxy.
Again, what good would this do if you are in a war torn country that cannot secure its elections?
So they amend their constitution. During a war. To force people into the streets to vote.
How does the government make sure the election is fair? Some people won’t be able to vote due to danger. Some will be attacked. Some areas are occupied, and the occupation lines may change during the election.
If they tried to run an election now, Russia would publish their own results showing that the occupied areas voted for Putin. Trying to run elections is hard enough in normal times, doing so with Russia literally holding a large swath of your country is impossible.
This. Pretty much every company that does business with the US or a US state has clauses in their contract about “boycotting” Israel, poorly defined on purpose.
Propaganda, nationalism, and fear of what regressive shitheads will do if you vocalize any opposition
Jail or the front lines.
This seems to mean they blame the government for lack of “security” before the attack, which could mean they just want more apartheid.
And “must resign after the war” is way different than “must resign.” Any leader, but especially an authoritarian, would read this and say “Guess I should never end the war, then.”

It’s all the same thing. He “offered” to buy Twitter and then tried to back out. Market manipulation.
The board of Twitter forced the sale, because they had every right and responsibility to their shareholders to do so.
Now he’s wrecking the company seemingly on purpose. Market manipulation.
True. And we can’t legislate our way out of this. Any legislation we proffer and make happen will be weaponized against the poor.
I don’t think anyone told him he couldn’t buy it.
The board of Twitter is who sued to force the sale, since musk had kicked himself in.
That doesn’t mean his offer and subsequent behavior with the company isn’t market manipulation to be investigated, which is being done by the government.
Both things can be true. He stupidly kicked himself into a deal he was forced to complete, and his behavior since has indicated that he’s just gaming the market since he had to complete the deal.
Regressives the world over are not creative. They do what they do because they believe others will do it. They’re bullies because they were bullied, and they don’t want to be the victim, so they erroneously believe that means they have to strike first.
They never stop to think, “What if the world weren’t shit? What can I do to make it better?” They accept as a fact that it is shit, and they believe the only way to come out ahead is to step on someone else.
When you get several of these people/groups pointing at each other, it becomes an infinite cycle.
