minus-squareTransplantedSconie@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up25·5 days agoExactly. He will ask for 99.9% of what they make.
minus-squareTolookah@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up19arrow-down2·5 days agoSo you’re saying prices will go up 99%
minus-squareTransplantedSconie@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up11·edit-25 days agoWell, yeah. Gotta make profits somehow and avoid Seal Team 6 liquidating your ass on the way to the Hamptons.
minus-squareTachyonTele@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up12arrow-down2·5 days agoI’m not even going to bother explaining the joke to you. I am disappointed in you as a person though.
minus-square14th_cylon@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down6·4 days ago I’m not even going to bother explaining the joke to you your anger seems misplaced, you should really be angry at yourself. i understand what joke you tried to make, it just doesn’t make sense. “not making sense” doesn’t automatically make something funny. 🤷♂️
minus-squareTachyonTele@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down2·edit-24 days agoDisappointment is not anger. What joke do you think I made?
minus-square14th_cylon@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down6·4 days ago Disappointment is not anger. it is, just camouflaged. prices going up 99% would result in “them” having ~0,2%, instead of the 0,1% they had before. so, you see, your joke, where you tried to pass the expense of the bribe onto customer, doesn’t work, before your math is way off.
minus-squareTachyonTele@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down2·edit-24 days agoEdit. Nevermind. I was giving this person way too much credit.

minus-squareselokichtli@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 days agoInterestingly, “vaccine” comes from the latin vaccīnus which means “from the cow”.
minus-squareBarqsHasBite@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·5 days agoMore like racketeering I believe.

Well, yeah.

I’d be more wary about windows.
