Bezos was talking about computer rental being the future of the market.

Presumably with him reaping the rewards.

What if it's all a big misdirect and Trump invades Denmark while the army is away.

THINK ABOUT IT

I'm surprised they dumped him at all. What do they usually do with the people they take?

The Alligator Alcatraz style camps they still have?

Or CECOT?

I hate that he was taken at all, but I'm very very glad he's been returned. I can't even imagine the nightmare that awaits the people they don't give back.

I worked at a company that helped people find the best loans for their situation.

Basically a price comparison site. No sponsored content or anything.

One day I was asked about setting up a payday loans option for the site and just said no.

I'd listened to some podcast about just how predatory the industry was, and even though our national regulations meant it couldn't get as bad as some places, it was still unacceptably predatory.

I showed the manager stats for repayment, interest and average income of a customer and said if he went forward with this I would not be participating.

And if he was going to ask me to participate regardless, I would hand him my notice on the spot.

They never did anything with payday loans after that. I think most people were pretty happy about it.

He's like 70% ego (10% hairspray, 10% bronzer and 10% hamberder)

So psychologically, is it important to maintain his ego.

It's a health decision

This is a sort of "but it's weird that it happened twice" thing, but I had a friend out researching Orangutans in I think Indonesia and he dropped dead after (supposedly) recovering from a fever.

Probably only a few years younger than your friend.

I've not kept up with his research but I suspect the species is almost certainly declining worse than when he was there.

Not sure what I'm saying, but yeah.

Weird that it happened twice.

Oh, then that.

I didn't realise they weren't interchangeable. They feel a lot like administrators.

I didn't want to be as vague as saying "these twats" to a possibility international audience.

With this administration's track record, I'm half expecting this to turn out to be the justification for putting "lobster-verification" cameras in everyone's kitchen.

I was wondering why Bill was getting so many presents, but then I remembered English is a weird language and it actually means they were buying Bill's branded stuff.
