You're really going to let the flat earthers redefine dinosaurs.

They even tried to make Pluto not a planet. Pfftt

Remember folks, What you know is protected. What you are is not.

Cops can force you to use the fingerprint scanner.

I'm not a landlord but the taxes go up every single year. Home insurance goes up every single year. Both often by a lot. Compared to 2019 my taxes are up 45% and my home insurance is up 500%.

The land value is up purely because they ain't making any more of it.

The cost to repair everything goes up every year. A part of my washing machine broke again. Part was $20 in 2017. Part was $60 4 months ago. Post Tarifs it will probably be closer to $100. Nevermind the labor if I can't DIY.

Plenty of reasons for costs to go up each year.

Real question is :

Why the fuck aren't the wages going up?

If that too kept up with inflation since the 1970s then we'd all be happier then pigs in shit.

I imagine it would work about as well as YouTube Kids would.

Which is to say not at all

Yes but it's 100x faster to use the "Scan-n-go" on your phone anyways.

Scan shit with your phone camera as you put it in the cart. When done click checkout, pay on phone. Then just walk out. Occasionally someone will ask to check yer cart.

They aren't taking them back from the retail stores.

They are taking them out from a production run, from storage facilities.

Right because it's such a big secret now...

Y'all laugh but this man has amazing code coverage numbers.

My mate, Paul, says all numbers after 700 repeat so we can stop there.

We just give them different names so you think they're going up.

I prefer the cryptic each variable gets a single letter of the alphabet.

Yep and then they require you to put special characters, numbers, and capital letters because.... Reasons?

I would be the one getting hacked, not them.... Let me do what I want.
