Regular people defrauding corporations is moral actually

Are there any Boomers who have not committed this kind of fraud?

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago

One of my boomer relatives maxed out their credit cards before filing for bankruptcy but considered it mooching for me to accept financial aid totaling $1200 a year for school.

For me it was a boomer buying power tools, using them for one job, then returning them. Idk if it was fraud, but this wasn't a "fuck the corporations steal everything" boomer and I was just a kid so it always smelled wrong.

Major shoplifting when my boomer relatives were in their 20s-30s. They only slowed down when cameras became ubiquitous.

Women born after 1997 only do fraud, eat hot chip, lie, twerk, play animal crossing, charge they phone.

I got free shoes from amazon because the delivery driver put them at the unit 3 floors downstairs for some fucking reason, if whoever wrote this article thinks I shouldn't have gotten my money back they can ligma balls

I can't get enough of these articles about how cool zoomers are lol. between quiet quitting, the NEET stuff, and this, it's actually so heartening. lost decades incoming for the so-called west.

also a friend of a friend once bought an entire gaming PC one component at a time off Amazon, claimed none of it arrived and got refunded for them all lol. it's hilarious what you can get away with with these megacorps

don't they ask for stuff back?

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

sorry, i wasn't clear but he disputed the purchases by saying the items never arrived and got his money back

[-] isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 4 months ago

as much as I love seeing megacorps losing money, you're putting the delivery driver, which already has a shit job, in an even worse position

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

almost always in my country Amazon just use the postal service for deliveries so it's basically impossible for them to discipline anyone or follow up at all in a case like this. that's why it was possible in the first place for him to dispute like 9 items in a year

I've had a lot of Amazon packages not show up. I've also had a handful "not show up"

[-] Dolores@hexbear.net 13 points 4 months ago

compare the pearl-clutching for this with the culture of outright encouragement when it comes to tax fraud. deeply unserious country where there's an entire industry dedicated to making sure businesses don't have to fund the local schoolbus but a poor person taking advantage of a (privately-owned) system is a national crisis

[-] Gorillatactics@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago

The main strategy of tech companies in the past decade was to get billions of interest free loans in the hope that they'd become "The Uber of x." How could anyone experience the rise of the platforms and not conclude that fraud is a spectrum. Like Moviepass was a thing, how would a one time subscription for the movie theater ever be profitable in even the medium term.
