The way they behave I think they meant to use "and" instead of "or".

I just refuse to order off Uber Eats or Doordash. Does that count as not punishing the drivers?

I get that you're trying to do a reductio ad absurdum but your post really falls flat on its face.

The Roman Empire no longer exists in any shape or form.

The United States of America is a surviving institution that has continuity to its darker history as it pertains to slavery.

The problem is not simply that slavery is causing some sort of moral taint; it's that there are still institutions today that continue to have advantages that stem from the unjust practice of slavery in the US.

Ugh, gig workers need to be brought into some semblance of a minimum wage. Uber and Doordash are just techstortion.

Informed consent laws were around well before The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks came out. I think there were earlier publicized examples of subject mistreatment (like Tuskegee) that already pushed the field to be better.

23andme requires you to agree to what they ask, which is far more than what Johns Hopkins did for Henrietta Lacks.

Sorry guys it's my fault. I canceled my D+ from my Hulu account when the prices went up. Didn't realize Disney would stage a full-on takeover of Hulu to get me back.

 
 

Her advance team realized there weren't going to be enough plugs to go around. One of the station's four chargers was broken, and others were occupied. So an Energy Department staffer tried parking a nonelectric vehicle by one of those working chargers to reserve a spot for the approaching secretary of energy.

That did not go down well: a regular gas-powered car blocking the only free spot for a charger?

In fact, a family that was boxed out — on a sweltering day, with a baby in the vehicle — was so upset they decided to get the authorities involved: They called the police.

The sheriff's office couldn't do anything. It's not illegal for a non-EV to claim a charging spot in Georgia.
