Countries desperately trying to keep companies in the country when they demand such ridiculous corporate handouts in tax credits and tax breaks just to keep like 1000 jobs is laughable, would be actually cheaper and better for the country just give those thousand people unemployment.

This is literally the case in China

it's not. china's social credit score doesn't actually exist (or at least not yet, as it is merely a vague proposal at the moment). the media is conflating this with private companies' credit score apps as well as the travel ban mechanism a lot but that's incorrect

china does some super creepy poo poo that fits in this thread 100% but theyre a bit more subtle than the non-existent social credit score

I originally got my phone plan at an independent Verizon store. I was in the middle of surprise unemployment and one day my phone rings:

"Hi is this Len?"
"Yes it is"
"Hi this is Scumbag Salesman just calling to let you know about our sales going on this weekend"
"Yeah I don't have a job I won't be coming in"
"But we have the newest phone on sale"
"That's nice I'm unemployed and won't be coming in good bye"

I wanted to switch my internet service from Time Warner (now Spectrum?). I called them up and, because I knew it was going to be a pain in the rear end to cancel, decided to lie and say I'd lost my job, and that was the reason I was cancelling. I thought it'd make things go quicker.

So I told the rep that I was cancelling because I needed to save money since I was out of work. She suggested I downgrade my speed so my bill would be lower. I reiterated that I wanted to cancel altogether because I got laid off. She said, and I am 100% not making this up, "But how are you going to find a new job if you don't have internet service?"

I was loving floored. I think I told her I was going to use my phone service, and eventually managed to get the service cancelled.

I've seen some of them, they usually add like $50 to the price by putting on 20 cents worth of gold flake and claiming it's fancy now. The really expensive stuff is just regular food item plus a buttload of black truffle thrown on top. It's really unimaginative and they've all just copied each other's hipster bougie asses.

Other times it's "we scoured the world for the finest ingredients. This hamburger has ingredients from 37 different countries."

...well I mean it's still a hamburger just now it's $100 and has a pretentious backstory.

My go to saying for cancelling is, "I'm moving out of the country" which there really is no reply to other than, "Ok".

She's not exactly wrong. Lots places don't even offer a way to apply that isn't online. There's obviously ways to work around it, but her reaction is understandable.

That's why it's kind of ridiculous when politicians treat the internet as purely a luxury when so much of society has been directly tied to it these days.

I always wanted to know if gold like, had a flavor that was added by putting gold leaf in food or alcohol in addition to just making it gaudy and for rich people, so I bought a small amount of it for like $5 and just ate it by itself and it just tastes like nothing. like you don't even get a metallic taste because gold doesn't react with anything in your mouth like other metals do, and it's so thin you can barely even feel it.

That's my gold leaf story thanks for reading.
