Now, here’s the thing. I’d say you would be sharing those winnings with the original winner unless you prevented them from getting the ticket

The January 2nd Powerball draw was not won by anyone and paid $39M.

That’s plenty of seed money to invest in Google, Bitcoin, et al with perfect knowledge of stock trends. Even if it’s only short term knowledge due to breaking from the original timeline, you could easily grow your investment into the billions overnight.

Perhaps the most amazing stock of the year was Xcelera.com, formerly known as Scandinavia. Once a closed-end fund specializing in Scandinavian stocks, and then an operating company that owned a hotel in the Canary Islands, it made a small investment in an Internet company last year. Before it disclosed that investment, the family of Alexander Vik, the company’s chief executive, was given options to buy a million shares of stock, at a price of $3.25 each. The shares ended 1998 at $3.75, or $1.25 adjusted for two subsequent splits. They ended 1999 at $139.50, an increase of 11,060 percent. The Viks’ option position is now valued at $415 million.

That’s not so much losing your home as it is having it forcibly purchased from you at a fair market price. At least in theory.

It’s just moonlight shining through the buildup of the day’s chemtrails.

“Do you have any feelings whatsoever about the way automobile taillights work in the US?”

“No, why would I?.”

“After you watch this video, you’re going to write your congressman.”

But why?

Alexa, bite me.

This used to be a feature that you could filter by on GSMArena, but alas it has gone from even there.

Says the guy who literally advocate the enslavement of the majority of the human race. Where even if your line, my guy?

But what is absolutely not debatable is that we actually need people to do work for us

to contribute to function as a society

As if that’s a worthy goal.

I think we could work it out. We can for driving tests.

I don’t think we can. Have you seen the results of our “driving tests”?

In all seriousness though. I get what you want to do, but this isn’t how you get there.

I like your ideas, but have you considered that this one:

All natural resources, be it harvested (e.g. ores, oil) or otherwise (e.g. land, air), are property of everyone. If any individual is to monopolise and/or utilise some of these resources, they are to compensate everyone else for doing so.

Effectively makes literally everything free? Not that this would be a bad thing. It just makes so many of the other things irrelevant.

Or you can look at the history of 4chan “trolling” and realize that it is almost always taken seriously by the very people it’s intended to lampoon.

To be fair, it’s already pretty uninteresting.

Once you’ve seen the sausage made it’s hard to love sausage. Doesn’t mean the sausage is terrible, it just makes you think of watching it get made.

Who at Amazon would be hurt by a bigot using their Echo or doorbell?

That’s a great question and I don’t know what kind of exposure Amazon employees have to audio logs from those devices but I’m certain there’s some sure to required troubleshooting and debugging.

Stopping deliveries sure but this is a couple of steps further.

I also don’t know how integrated the various aspects of a user’s account are and whether it would even be possible for Amazon to have taken a smaller step.

As it turned out, he wasn’t. But when they stopped servicing him, they had every reason to believe that he was.

Do you continue to service a customer whose behavior is otherwise unacceptable until you’re absolutely sure he’s a bigot? Or do you abide by your legal obligation to protect your workers from such behavior?

I don’t know if Amazon did the worst thing here, but I don’t know that the best thing is far off from what they did.
