HBC failed to adapt in the 70s to customers moving away from catalogue orders, it failed to adapt to malls in the 80s, and it failed to decommission its expensive white elephant department stores in the 90s.

By the time it was being passed around like an old car, it was already dead and gutted of its value.

I'm all for reminiscing on things lost, but this is just a funeral 45 years late. HBC died a long time ago.

I think in this case, there just isn't awareness.

So if you neglected your paperwork for something, you wouldn't help one of your family? Seems incredibly callous.

Stuff happens. Life happens. Paperwork is forgotten, sometimes id is lost , stolen, etc. What happened to that woman isn't illegal for her, something could have been done to help.

Put yourself in that woman's shoes for just one second.

I mean, thank you for that hot take, but when it comes to the green party, you're about 25 years late.

And to think people hailed Facebook and other online services so much in the Arab Spring of 2010 that someone in Egypt named their kid Facebook.

"Power corrupts" seems to be universal with humans.

I would tend to agree with the process part of accelerationism, but I don't think there is a goal.

The "crazy like a fox" theory is contradicted by several pretty dumb tells that suggest the administration is headed and staffed by actual idiots.
