I was kind of indifferent to rule breaking at the sub level but always careful to avoid rule breaking at the site level and not one of my appeals was ever upheld.

I agree

They’d be no retirement crisis if the government paid back all the money it borrowed from Social Security. Or if a steady stream of Immigrants came to our country.

The short answer (ba dum, tisssss) is that some forms of mutual funds buy a little bit of every stock rather than picking and choosing. Then, for reasons never really made clear, they let other investors borrow those stocks as long as they return them later.

Magic can be fun but buying and opening packs is 100% a form of legalized gambling

Buying a pack of Magic the Gathering isn’t arguably different from buying a scratch ticket. Most packs are worth less once you open them and sometimes are worth nothing once the contents are revealed.

No one is safe from the Gestapo

At any point in the past, most people would criticize “running from the police” but now it’s the most socially acceptable it’s ever been to cheer someone on.

Smokey and the Bandito

When recycling first started where I live, we had multiple bins. Paper, and i want to say metal/glass and plastic. Plus garbage and yard waste. But I’m refering to the fact that paper by itself faces additional sorting prior to recycling.

Sears could have been what Amazon is today. Hell, it the 19th century, it WAS was Amazon is today. But the focus is so often on financial trickery over actual sound business practices

Alot of debt gets bundled into bonds or other investment vehicles and sold. So small retail investors, retirement funds, etc end up holding the bag. Sometimes the banks lose, but they can take tax write offs and if the loses are too great, they can often get bailed out by the government.

It’s not hard to use financial trickery to temporarily tank a stock price making it easier to buy up a company. When redditors went after gamestop shortsellers, the shortsellers used tricks to dip the stockprice just low enough just temporarily enough to trigger margin calls and crush the redditors.

Because bankers buy politicians and if people complain they buy news coverage to call the naysayers socialists

Kinda like how Uber and Lyft put cab companies out of business and then their prices skyrocketed?

Yes and No. Sears could have limped along for longer but the geriatric leadership they brought in made a bunch of stunningly bad decisions. Sears built their business on catalogs and shipping direct to consumers. With their huge distribution network, trusted name, and network of stores they could have embraced a hybrid model and been on the cutting edge of e-commerce but the geriatric fucks they put in charge doubled down on the retail model they had always known but with shittier service.
