It's in the article, they didn't drop him during the coverage period they declined to renew.

It's perfectly fair, if you can decline to review and insure with someone else when the 6 month term is up, so can they.

You don't understand what a mass surveillance company selling personal details, including location, relationships, search history, and more, on everyone on earth, would sell to people doing a genocide?

Probably tacos.

Nah, bullshit. This is 100% Musk's fragile ego getting upset that people blocked him. He wants to be able to force his and his evil friends' opinions into the faces of people who don't want to see it.

Americans are not a hive mind. The ones who mourn his loss are not the ones in power happily sending aid to Israel. Just like not every Palestinian participated in Oct 7.

I envy the faith you have in process and quality control, especially knowing these products are produced by the profit seeking capitalist class who definitely do NOT feed it to their own families.

They had to reject it because any religion with a creation myth specifically says how the god created people. To accept an alternative story would reject the notion of the book as truth.

The religious are not looking for answers, they already have all the answers by definition of their holy book or whatever. They're looking for confirmation bias and reject anything that goes against that.

No they weren't... They were derided as conservative power grabs then as now. Even then they talked about Roberts as an activist conservative, as the "decider" vote in a 5v4 court, who played politics to maintain the appearance of neutrality on unimportant, to them, decisions so they could strike when it mattered.

Hell, even then mass media referred to "conservative" and "liberal" justices, which clearly shows judges were not neutral.

Nah, you're just some Christofascist. The correct and moral thing to do is ban you, from society.

DATING!!!!???? You filthy hoarslaut, you should be burned at the stake. The females are to go straight from the ownership of their parents to their husband's bed at age 14, lest they become ugly 18 year old spinsters no honest Trump fearing man would want. The males are to work in the mines 20 hours a day and learn to hate women so they'll prefer to marry a little girl at age 40.

Or they're shitty tech executives and are shit people, which has nothing to do with gender.

We're you already familiar with Linux or follow a guide? Lot of products I'm not familiar with there.

Well yeah. If you trace it backwards, before fiat, what was commodity backed currency? What inherent value is there to gold and silver? Back then there was little industrial use, it was just useful as something to trade for other things.

So going back further, at it's core, currency is just a middle man to bartering. Instead of trading the grain you labored to grow for shoes from the cobbler, when you don't need shoes right now, you take gold/shells/beads knowing you can use them to trade for repairs to your plow from the blacksmith. Currency has always been a social construct, not inherent to the commodity.

This is actually one argument against the hoarding behavior of the ultra wealthy. It disrupts the natural economy and creates unhealthy power dynamics. The rich person can distort labor away from productive things healthy for future development of the society, say by using their vast wealth to pay a ton of farmers to build statues of the rich guy, until suddenly there's famine because no one is growing food.
