No, it proves me right. People are still willing to pay for the service despite the price hike. So it must mean that people think this non-essential service, for which there are alternatives, is worth the money.

Unfortunately, this is users allowing for this kind of behaviour.

The original comment was that voting with your wallet doesn't work. I'm saying that it's a problem with enough people voting with their wallet. If you are the only person that cares about something and stop buying from a particular company, they will not even notice it.

On the other hand, look what happened when bud light had this thing with a trans influencer and conservatives got ridiculously upset with this, as they do. ABInbev is still feeling the effects of that.

1% might have 50% of the wealth, they do not account for 50% of the spending. Especially not at Taco Bell.

Pure capitalism is broken af, but companies like this will feel it if 10% of costumers stops going there. The increase in price can recover some of it, but only to a certain extent. It's a simple supply and demand issue.

That being said, I'm not from the US, so take my opinion on local issues with a grain of salth. And I definitely don't mean to imply that wealth inequality is not an issue. On the contrary.

I agree with you that 20kg for a woman is not thát crazy, even for a beginner. But the "woman's bar" is also very popular, which is only 15kg. I think the main reason many women prefer this one is because the thinner bar is easier to grip.

Do you think farmers should not use any tractors and pick their crops using manual labour?

That would also create a lot of jobs.

Now I want to see a video game where every other NPC you talk to, complains about all the NPCs.

A big enough hit if 42% of Chrome users switch to a different browser.

However, I wouldn't be surprised to see that people with adblock are more likely to use something other than Chrome. And some people will stay with Chrome and deal with the lack of adblock.

You can also do that with Firefox on your computer.

It's not in settings, but you can easily google the instructions.

Are the aliens fusion-based lifeforms? They have to get their energy somewhere.

Eating hydrogen and letting out high-pitched helium farts?

What kind of a broken system is that?

Just to be clear, you mean that people ignoring the laws is what makes it broken, right? Not the laws themselves?

Cause your last sentence threw me off for a second.

If so, I totally agree with you.

I'm not from the US, but are people really streaming while driving? Cause that's just ridiculously stupid.

I know people are driving much longer distances in the US than here, but at least put on some podcast or music to entertain you. Nothing that keeps your eyes off the road.

Could it just be a weight thing? So not necessarily fat, muscle could also help.

If you're body is heating your whole body, the amount of heat added will increase linearly with volume. But your surface area, i.e. the skin, increases sublinearly with volume. So you get more heat per surface unit?

Interest rates are high because of inflation. It's high in Europe as well.

Do you know the number one reason inflation is high? It rhymes with "Shmutin invading Ukraine".
