For that much storage, you'd be better to self host. The initial cost would probably be around 3 months of your current bill, and open office is free.

I bet we could tweak the language to be pretty persuasive. Those guys are known for believing some bullshit youtube ideas.
Open or libre office, NAPS2, local send, proton, helpwire, inkscape, firefox with addons, and a local server if they need a lot of "cloud" storage, which people think they need more of than they do.
Seriously, the rehab was convinced they needed several TB to store their records, when every invoice and exam note they had for the ~12 years they'd been digital amounted to about 8GB, ignoring the fact that they only needed to hold on to records for 7 years, or 10 for Medicare, which wasn't terribly common.
The optical that needed access to very large (16k) retinal photos, really only needed access from 2 locations, so a couple of local servers on automatic backup with a UPS powering the routers meant unless power went out in the whole state, the images and documents were always accessible somewhere.
The grant service needed encrypted emails and wanted personalized URLs, so proton business worked for them and came with storage. Not free, but that was their choice.
For some reason most businesses I've worked with seem to think running everything on laptops or all in one computers is the way to go, and get frustrated when everything inevitably gets slow as shit.
So I switch them to mini PCs running my scrubbed ultra light windows image mounted to the back of monitors, and now they can replace parts when necessary, and I can gut the old computers for harddrives for a local server. The HDDs might be crap, but 20 of them make for a hell of a backup RAID.
Helpwire as a hidden startup app allows access from anywhere for files, and I can run tech support from anywhere if necessary.
Two optical shops, a rehab clinic, and a grant funding service. No specifics on the internet.
I have moved four businesses to free software and only gotten great feedback. I honestly have no idea why anyone would pay for a Microsoft product when Foss alternatives are better in every way.
Conversation, mostly. By the time I quit reddit around two years ago, every top comment was a repost of a previous joke, or some predictable mutation of one.
Anything that went against the common preconceptions was shutdown immediately. I'm an expert/professional in a few niche subjects, and the final nail in the coffin for me was any comment I made turning into a fruitless debate with armchair experts too dumb to even understand why they were wrong, while correct info was downvoted to invisibilty.
None of this helps you crosspost, I'm aware.
First order: Greed Crimes
Any white collar crime done for the sole benefit of enriching one or siphoning money away from citizens or workers.
Regulatory capture, pyramid schemes, political bribery, hidden tax havens, environmental distruction, writing bills like citizens united, cutting social services, forming monopolies, competition buyouts, blatant conflicts of interest, etc.
We have hate crimes, when something is done out of hatred for a people it is given the harshest penalty because it hurts an entire group.
The thing is, greed crimes ruin the lives of thousands and millions, possibly everyone, and in my opinion should be capital offenses.
We need an investigative oversight committee that stop all functions of a person or company while looking into accusations. If found guilty, a company is dismantled, an individual is executed, their will is ignored and all assets are liquidated and used to remedy the situation that was created.
If found not guilty, you're closely monitored by the greed crime committee for an agreed period. If you are accused of three sepparate greed crimes and different times, even if found not guilty, you should be considered a bad faith potential, and exiled or removed from any position of power.
Not in the last few years. They took the hard price off the can designs and now they're 1.39-1.69 depending on the place.
I would've been with you until I saw Grumper Pig.
