You are going to have to define slave labor... is someone working 12h days for minimum wage considered a slave? I would say yes.

> What has failed us is putting people like Ajit Pai in charge of the FCC and the federal government trying to remove net neutrality.

Net neutrality is good, but so far it hasn't fucked with us so I don't know what you are saying... What really messed up the internet/world is the centralization... Google, Facebook, etc... which allows them to control speech on a major scale.

You should try walmart.com for ordering... they stepped up their game... it's not uncommon for them to do 3 deliveries for a $35 order with free shipping to get you the stuff as fast as possible... Most of the time I wish they would combine items to avoid the waste but that's what they do.

New comment by Vladimof in "Teslas running Autopilot have been in 273 crashes in less than a year"

Vladimof — Wed, 15 Jun 2022 23:40:57 +0000

The number of incident per brand doesn't matter if you don't take into account how many cars they have on the road...

And Tesla could probably tell you how many crash per driving hour among other things

I don't think so... I bought my phone used from https://swappa.com/ for $74 a year ago, so even if it would break right now it would still be a lot cheaper... It's a Pixel 3 ... wish it had a MicroSD card slot, but besides that it works perfectly fine. I installed LineageOS on it without Google services.
