<p>That would make it easy to implement: a simple payment receipt to a journalist who visited a "demo" would be enough to start fining them. Imagine the honesty of the press when it can't get bribed by the oligarchs anymore. Or imagine charities needing to court local producers instead of poison-cola for endorsements. It would be a different world!</p>

<p>It affects everyone. It's always been the case, also in traditional advertising. As soon as a company gets rich it defaults to massive marketing (at a loss) to stay on top and drown the underdogs. That's why I think marketing spend should be capped by revenue by law. The current system stiffles competition</p>

<p>I don't understand how nobody in the media is talking about this. The world accepts the US as the producer of currency, trades energy in dollars, etc. The US gets to print money for free, how is that bad for the US?<p>So far I can only see 2 reasons why Trump wants this:<p>1. He believes the US can force others to pay even more, via tariffs, and they will just accept it. No retaliatory tariffs. Kind of like how he says Greenland will be handed to the US no problem. Dishonest? Delusional? Bullyish?<p>2. The theory of him being a Russian asset is true, and this is the way for Russia to undermine the US while looking like Trump is rooting for the US. The real plan is for the world to drop the dollar. I don't like conspiracy theories but it just makes no sense otherwise</p>

<p>This is all clearly a consequence of not enough supply<p>Question for anyone that knows: how does it end? Will some landlords go bust and get bought by 1 or 2 mega corpos, and then rinse and repeat until it's a McDonald's/Burger King monopoly? Will all rentals be owned by a single entity? Are they already owned by one? I heard all these corps are ultimately owned by Blackrock<p>I am just trying to see what possibly even worse crisis will spawn from this crisis. Population levels are expected to decrease over the coming decades. Will that trigger a collapse in rents? Where will "greed" move to, what novel forms of collusion and exploitation will we suffer instead of it being all focused on rent and property?<p>Edit: I just realised that the shift may already be happening in the form of other basic necessity industries colluding: utilities, car insurance, "public" transport, food</p>

<p>That's another £30/month where I live (cheapest option). I get that they (the gov't) want to know where we live, but surely people downloading an app have no business knowing this? Or is it either pay £30/month or risk being murdered in your sleep? Is this the result of the mailbox industry lobbying the EU or something? I am being sarcastic of course, just a bit upset tbh</p>

<p>Am I wrong in thinking that this is very bad? What are the chances 0.0001% of people downloading your app won't try to come and murder you in your sleep? And considering the meager pay devs can gain from selling on app stores, how are we supposed to afford the high fence and guard dogs required to prevent attacks?</p>

<p>I mean, this might down vote me even further. But I am from Spain. I can taste it. I use olive oil on pretty much everything. I never ever use any oil other than extra virgin olive oil. Even for frying<p>In fact, I can tell you that the 5 * oil sold in luxury bottles abroad is no better than the plain extra virgin. And that is where the fraud mostly exists (besides mixed oil in tk maxx). I have never been able to buy luxury oil outside of Spain. All the luxury bottles abroad contain normal oil. But I don't really care for luxury oil anyway. Normal extra virgin fulfills all my health and taste requirements<p>At the end of the day, if this misunderstood awareness of "fake oil" benefits my fellow countrymen and helps them develop supply chains of verified, expensive higher grade oils (which are a waste of money in my view but nevermind) then I guess these campaigns are very good. People in Spain extremely rarely will use anything other than plain extra virgin. It's like eating caviar. And farmers really struggle to get a fair price, especially when selling bulk to foreign buyers</p>

<p>I think supermarket oil is fine. The fake oil is mostly sold in discount shops like tk maxx and home bargains</p>

<p>While we are on this subject, I am curious to know what people with hiring knowledge think of seeing side project mentions on cvs<p>I am tempted to completely not mention them in mine, even though I have hundreds of thousands of users<p>Why? Because they distract from the "clean track record" of working for big corp, and perhaps the hiring manager will think less of me because of them ("not devoted to big corp enough"). Worse, they might think I will quit my job as soon as I am able to make a living from them, which isn't true but not entirely false either</p>
