It almost even took off!

Capitalism is not equal to smuggling or free markets. Capitalism means the private ownership of the means of production, and a market economy is possible under other systems.

And it's numbered different building to building, sometimes level 1 is nearest to surface, sometimes it's the deepest one.

And if you think that's confusing, I've ridden this one elevator once, it had four buttons arranged in a square: "P", "FSZT", "MFSZT", "1E". Guess what order the floors are in.

To be fair, it's hard to criticise leftists for not voting reliably for the Dems if they keep moving right. I imagine your parents didn't really become leftists, it's just that Dems moved to where the Reps were decades ago.

Supporting a Holocaust-sized genocide is not really "any issue" either. The reason why it still makes sense to vote for Harris is not because that genocide does not matter, it's that Trump would start another one on American soil while endorsing the former as well.

You've basically got the Goldman Sachs candidate, or Hitler from Wish. I hope people turn out for Goldman Sachs-lady, for all our sakes in the world.

I did a quick search, it seems it's similar to imperial and metric in that it's only the US doing 1st floor as ground floor. It's for various reasons, but in most European languages the word used for the numbered "floors" either means "horizontal division between floors" or the first "construction over the previous floor", so it makes sense that the first is the first above the ground.

It's like the basement, the ground floor is special.

I think it's the US that's the outlier, most European languages have it so that the first floor is the first floor above the ground floor.

A lesser standard still applies if it either embeds or redirects to a payment page. Again, shouldn't mean shit, but still.

Investors are also terminally stupid,

Also, they are mostly bots.

Because the alternative seems to be a Russian intelligence asset.

IIRC they did coupons exclusively in their app a few years ago where I lived (haven't checked since), and they hiked the price of everything, so if you don't install the app, you get a 20% surcharge in effect.

That goes for every single shitty chain store as well.

What in the world necessitates those?
