    Why?

    Shouldn’t everyone feel morally responsible for receiving the maximum reward so that they can personally distribute those funds amongst as many people as possible? The other guy is fine with just 3m, so one year of your life apparently could provide 9999 other people with a life of never having to work again.



  • Yep, we definitely don’t have any kind of law prohibiting a business from disposing of food waste en masse.

    We do have a ton of liability laws that would punish them from distributing leftover food though, should someone get sick after it is distributed.

    Also don’t have any kind of thing preventing households from wasting food either. I suspect countless of perfectly fine meals are disposed of every single day, probably enough to feed the country twice over, if not more.

    It’s a tough problem in a land of excess without near-total elimination of privacy and agency.


  • I worked at a pizza place with a drive through. We sold many items that were non-pizza like wings, subs, salads, burgers, desserts and side items like fries, mozz, etc. My girlfriend’s family owned the place, so I was familiar with more than just grunt work and had some inside insight into the business numbers that normal workers do not get.

    We would never have fulfilled an 18,000 water cup request.

    If someone came by with a catering sized order in the drive through, we would have had them park somewhere and told them a relative estimate of how long it would be. Sure, maybe someone would have started on a couple of things, but we wouldn’t be able to fulfill such large orders in the time it took between placing an order and the window. There’s only so many workers.

    There was obviously plenty of food waste, but that’s baked into the cost of the items.


  • You mean the ~$200/hr contract cleaners at the nonprofit “rehab center” our 80something year old parents go to is going to profit? no way!

    Now multiply that single contract worker doing cleaning to all aspects of building maintenance, medical devices… and unbelievably these are all for-profit entities acting as vendors are owned by the same entity that owns the nonprofit healthcare facility.

    I’m not making this up, sadly.


  • This is not solely a european problem, and it’s not new.

    A faction of conservatives will scream up and down that they’re protecting the children. Most people will generally side with privacy.

    My suspicion is that the end goal is to classify people to target your opponents, even the ones who don’t have much of a platform.

    Once you can identify all the anonymous people on the internet and build profiles of all their communications with ML, you can easily generate a list of people who are against your policies and target them. I’m pretty sure you could find other subsets of data linking these people so you can then target them indirectly without too much friendly fire against your supporters.

    In the US, One easy target I haven’t seen any actions for is Marijuana. All those medical patients are in a database somewhere. All the debit card transactions in stores are in a database somewhere. It’s still federally illegal and the punishments are nuts if prosecuted. Take your communications list, and the MJ list, target the ones on both and ignore the rest. You get to legally enslave your opponents under the guise of weed.


  • Why would this cause them to rethink anything?

    If someone trolls an order of thousands of something, a worker isn’t going to just make that thing. I get that retail workers are treated like shit and are paid shit so have zero shits to give. If someone rolls up to the drive through window asking for their thousands of waters or whatever, the people working there are gonna escalate it to a manager or just tell the guy to go pound sand.

    Anybody today can go to any drivethrough and ask for whatever and then simply drive away. I’m certain it happens from time to time, even from legitimate orders when someone discovers they leave their wallet at home. If it was a great problem though these businesses simply wouldn’t order drive through service, or would require payment before cooking anything.
