Ah ye of little faith. Rest assured, it can always get worse, as we will soon learn.

Some teens get emancipated when they are 17 or maybe even younger, if their parents suck and they can show a court they are able to care for themselves, depending on state I presume.

I imagine that is an exception to minors signing contracts, maybe they are no longer considered minors after they do that though.

It used to be like that in the US. It was not until the 90s into the 00's that employers were allowed to make employees sign away their right to sue and instead use binding arbitration of the employer's choosing, or manufacturers and retailers forcing consumers to waive their rights to sue in purchasing the product, and so forth.

Judges used to throw them out. And if a contract had egregious language, it could invalidate the entire contract not just the part that is illegal.

Since the federalist society conquered the courts all of that changed.

What? No. You want the government to be in control of this tech directly? Jesus Christ, I can't tell which is worse, our situation now, or if we nationalized it and the goddamned federal government was calling the shots directly.

We should seize control of them by legal process and explode them with due process in law and all that shit.

Yeah sorry I knew that, obviously it does help pricing, their pricing, dynamic pricing coming to you soon!

CCTV cameras will know who everyone is and digital tags can give a price based on their metrics, or online with different prices. It's already started. Consumer Reports outed Instacart for doing it online already, a firm that operates shopping carts on multiple websites as a vendor.

I think this is the article: https://www.consumerreports.org/money/questionable-business-practices/instacart-ai-pricing-experiment-inflating-grocery-bills-a1142182490/

The future fucking sucks.

Most men find Sinema attractive, because she objectively is, for an older woman.

AI won't help for pricing anyway because the company actively tries to get you to buy the less quality more expensive products, as outlined in a John Oliver episode.

All these apps basically dox all of their users. Just not to us, to data brokers that buy that information wholesale.

The former AZ senator, the turncoat, she is objectively attractive. She is the only one I can think of.
People liked Michelle Bachman on the right at least, i never did but that was a long time ago.

Old dickheads liked that McCain running mate too, that folksy talking woman from Alaska, Sarah Palin.

I can't think of another.

That is 99% fucking gross. Nevermind for a minute about how it's wrong. What is the target market for seeing a bunch of geriatric fascist tools naked?

Fucking gross. That former senator from AZ, what's that turncoat's name, she is a rare exception. Who else, I can't think of another female politician that the public would want to see naked.

Maybe zuck whacks off to nancy pelosi deep fake nudes?

Very true, public firms can't see past their next few sets of financial statements.
