Oh, I'm sure she's still very pro-LGB. Most TERFs are (for now at least). It's the T part of the equation that they think it's acceptable to hate

It's an unsustainable business model for profit.
"In 2005, private equity-owned firms owned less than 1 percent of skilled nursing facilities. By 2015, they owned 9 percent; the share is likely higher today.
Purchases of nursing homes by private equity firms are associated with higher patient mortality rates, fewer caregivers, higher management fees, and a decline in patient mobility."

Squeezing profit out of the end of elderly people's lives is an extra special level of disgusting
If the shareholders want the corporation to blatantly violate the law, they don't do that. They don't have to do everything that shareholders want. Shareholders are perfectly free to sell their shares, if they don't like what a company is doing, or to vote out members of the board, if they don't like the way the company is being managed. The idea that corporations have no other choice is a myth perpetuated to maintain the status quo
"In 2014, the United States Supreme Court voiced its position in no uncertain terms. In Burwell v Hobby Lobby Stores Inc., the Supreme Court stated that “Modern corporate law does not require for profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else”.

"Should" cost. Yeah I'm gonna need citations for that one. You really and honestly believe the libertarian nonsense that private, for-profit corporations are going to provide those same high quality services and fuck us less?
And make no mistake, those are high quality services. Corporations are perfect happy to use all the free data generated by the National Weather Service, US Geological Survey, NIH, NSF, NIST, etc precisely because it's world class. It's funny how the only things that people complain about the "government" doing are all the things that cost corporations money like product and environmental safety. Or social services that are deliberately inefficient so conservatives can keep complaining about how bad "government services" are. It would be a lot more efficient if they would just give poor people fucking cash.
No this is different, actually. The other event is the hypothesized genetic bottleneck triggered by the Toba supervolcano eruption only 74,000 years ago as opposed to 900,000 years ago for this newly proposed event.
This video started a trend in my group of high school friends where we'd be walking down the street and someone would randomly put their arm in front of someone else, stop and point, saying, "Ninjas!! In the trees." Before we would all break out in kung fu charades.
We thought we were hilarious lol
Well, I like roads and bridges being fixed, and good reliable weather forecasts, and standardized weights and measures, and a functional department of justice, labor, food and drug safety, standardized phone and Internet protocols so companies can't completely lock us in their walled gardens, cars that are safe to drive, etc. So I'm happy with the taxes part of that equation
It's also pretty hard when the corporations you work for aren't interested in paying you what you're worth. People need and deserve better wages
I've had multiple issues with very recently released movies (like Crazy Rich Asians) not playing at all and only giving me pixelated nonsense or the aspect ratios being completely fucked up. Never happened on HBO Max. Only since the forced migration to the new app
Oh that's wild. I recognized your username, and never realized it was suddenly coming from a different instance
Those complaints originated in TERF circles
