Wait, Axon used to be called Taser International?!
Lol, of course they promote a flimsy medical diagnosis which explains away how people die in the hands of police while using "non-lethal" weapons and restraint techniques.

Oh god I'm having flashbacks, I forgot about the antlions!
Have they tried SimAnt?
I'd say exercise and/or shower when you feel bad about yourself.
You don't miss $12 popcorn? And $6 candy??
Finally, our own ship to sail the seas! The spez mutiny brought better times for this crew.
The stock prices wouldn't be affected except in the short term. The fundamentals of the companies wouldn't change and so the price would recover quickly. Any dip is due to a temporary imbalance of buyers and sellers.
These stock sales would likely be spread over longer durations so as not to crash the price which would also be bad for the billionaires because they would have to sell more stock to cover the tax.
It's not news. These are franchise locations. There were about 1,900 new McDonald's opened globally in 2023, 400 in the US. Meanwhile Burger king closed 400 US stores. There's still many thousands of each.
There's a website / app called Meetup and there are local groups in almost every city for strangers to meet up for social events to get to meet new people and make friends.
I used it for a few months after moving to a new city and stopped once I made some personal connections and a friend group.
Probably because of their anti-consumer practices, anti-repair, how they design products, cables, accessories, and service to maximize profit to the extreme, and their walled garden ecosystem designed to ward off competition.
Exactly. US oil companies won't voluntarily "go green" unless it is more profitable to do so.
I was a production engineer at a US oil company for 5 years and each week I was instructed to calculate what the maximum amount of natural gas each well was allowed to flare while staying exactly below the legal limit. This is natural gas which cannot be sold so it is burned on-site which produces less greenhouse gases than just releasing it to the atmosphere.
Essentially, I was helping them pollute the maximum legal amount in order to maximize profit from the oil production. The gas pipelines hadn't been built yet but the oil company didn't want to wait for that since the oil is more valuable. This was A LOT of gas being burned. The fire balls were enormous and roared, sounding like a helicopter or jet engine at times.
Everything in the company worked this way. Old wells didn't get plugged and cleaned up until the local state government threatened fines. Leaks and spills were only monitored as closely as they were because the state had inspectors going around issuing hefty fines.
