Yeah, Target showed their true colors. I supported them because they were supportive of LGBTQ+ community, but they abandoned it in the blink of an eye, when MAGA looked at them, proving it was never core company philosophy, just convenient cynical marketing.

I expected companies to resist MAGA, and I still do. We will remember the corporations that collaborated with the MAGA Traitor Pedophiles.

Costco is considered one of the best places to work in America. Literally one of the highest job satisfaction rates in business.

They pay decently, offer good benefits, and treat their employees decently, and respectfully. So people stick around, that's why they put their length of service on their name tags. It's smart brand marketing, and it worked on you exactly like it's supposed to.

Imagine a company recognizing that treating your employees well, might actually be good for business?

More like: You came for toothpaste, but you want a kayak, too?

I can never decide between a hot dog or a slice of pizza, so I get one of each.

You also need some sort physical gag, like the Triple Snap Z, or a model stance.

Fines like this should go to the consumer, but that's impossible, so they should go into the America First Fund (irony intended), which be the seed money to provide the initial funding for all the social programs we need to start - healthcare, college/trade, student loan forgiveness, pre-k, UBI, etc.

As we investigate and prosecute MAGA crimes, any fines and confiscations, which should be harsh (including the confiscation of entire estates of treasonous families like the Trumps or the Ellisons), should be put into the America First Fund. The level of the fund should be mentioned in the evening news every night. Rich people can take note of the Dow, and workers can take note of the America First Fund.

Because they're her friends, and know her, just like I know the people around me would never do that, and if MAGA arrested one of them, I'd KNOW the problem was MAGA, not my friend.

The last time it cut me off until the reset, after squandering half my requests on graphics that never appeared, it offered to keep me company until the reset, which it couldn't predict.

Yeah, right, like I want cuddle with a loser like you.

Hey, WTF? Did I just sexually harassed by an AI?

Anytime a corporation or a politicians says they aren't going to do something, it means they're thinking about that subject, and they are definitely going to do it.

We make far more decisions to NOT do something, and if someone doesn't want to do something, they just don't do it, they don't tell everybody. We don't talk about the things we aren't going to do, we talk about things we ARE going to do.

Years ago, I was in a national managers conference call meeting, and HQ started it by saying "If there are rumors of lay-offs in your office, shut them down. There are no plans for lay-offs at this time." I don't remember what the rest of the meeting was about, but we all walked saying "Lay-offs are coming."

Sure enough, within two months, I was out of a job, along with a bunch of others. Within a year, several branch offices were closed. We weren't worried about it at all, until they brought it up in the meeting.

If they're bringing it up, they're softening us up for it, even if they're saying No.

Marvel at how AI stopped this non-existent threat, while also giving advice on the best way to kill yourself, or get the highest kill score in a mass shooting, or hack into other corporations.

Sure, this tech isn't ever going to start directly killing people it has determined are a problem, flipping off life support machines, crashing autonomous vehicles, etc.
