Commented in AI and Employment: Is Universal Basic Income the Answer?
The key is balance. We want to make sure that none of our brothers and sisters are left behind, that they have food, shelter, clothing and a change to enjoy life. But we want to ensure that at every income level people retain the incentive to work to earn more, because that work is what will make society continue to function and the income continue to flow.

Commented in AI and Employment: Is Universal Basic Income the Answer?
First things that will happen when an UBI gets introduced: rents increase, food prices will go berserk and most likely governments will use taking away the UBI from persons who have different opinions than the state dictates. I'm all for equality and think that an UBI is a great idea, but the abuse by forementioned states, landlords and companies will deminish its' effect. A way better idea is to abolish money all together, but that will surely find opposition with the people who sit on large piles of it and use it as a tool to obtain power.

Commented in Can’t stop binging on fries and BBQ?
And the food industry understands this very well,but blame the problem on us when they designed the carbage to make us eat more for obvious reasons.

Commented in Major Study Claims to Identify The Root Cause of Obesity: Fructose
Yup,and of course big food puts it in everything cause it lights up your brain like cocaine. I stopped eating sugar and processed food (which contains sugar) almost 19 years ago.

Commented in Worms that contain the same lethal neurotoxin as puffer fish are invading the East Coast
The worms carry the same toxins as puffer fish though a single worm probably couldn't kill a human.
It's not the humans I'm worried about. It's birds,amphibians and small reptiles that I'm worried about.
However,that being said,since they get their poison from their food and no longer have access to said food (like pet dart frogs),they become harmless and that could be happening now.

Commented in Scientists Just Quantified The Shocking Extent of Type 2 Diabetes Due to Poor Diet
And who promotes this poor diet? The food industry. It all started with Ancil Keys and his heart hypothesis that saturated fat caused heart disease...This has since been disproven. So the food industry removed said fat from food replacing it with sugar...Much to their delight,they noted people loved sugar,so it was put in everything,and now we have an epidemic of obesity and diabetes.

Commented in Some people are upset at the way iPhones charge. Here’s why.
It's all about control. If we allow this type of overreach, it will be for everything. Water, food, fuel, energy, heating, what you spend your money on, how many steps you do feeding back to your actuary tables feeding your insurance and health care system We've already seen the covid test...can't get treatment if you don't have our approved vaccine. It's an impending nightmare and control freaks all over the world love it.

Commented in The Age of Advertising Must Come to an End
No it doesn't,it's just told us it does for years to assure it makes endless money. Just cause we see an ad does not mean we will do what it commands. I started muting ads as a child when I realized how they deceived the general public with their bs. Ads do not influence everything we do,we just are not that stupid..Ok,some of us are that stupid,but not everyone. The below quote is yet another big lie rammed down our throats anytime we have the gonads to disagree with them. We are not robots they can control and manipulate,but they never stop trying. I do not watch advertisements cause I hate them with a passion. The:"You must buy this or you will never be as happy as the people in our ad" is such a crockI don't buy fast food,junk foodor big name products cause I don't want them. My latest acquisition was a gargoyle gecko and his enclosure and powdered food was sold to me by the family owned pet shop,not by some glossy ad on tv or the Internet. I also use an ad blocker. Anyway,this actually turned into a very good look at the vile ad industry and capitalistisim in general. I enjoyed it.
The advertising industry is a global juggernaut that influences everything we do, up to and including our behavior, opinions, preferences, and even our thoughts.

Commented in McDonald's unveils first automated location, social media worried it will cut 'millions' of jobs
One question remains, though: does it make their excuse for food any better?

Commented in 42% Of Global Consumers Believe Plant-Based Food Will Replace Meat Within A Decade
I'm not one of those people.Just cause they think it does not make it so. The food courps are really pushing this as they make way more money selling processed glop than real food.

Commented in Chart-armed Katie Porter proves that corporate greed is behind inflation
That's probably the hardest (to answer) question ever asked on SnapZu.
First thing that comes to mind is revolution and since nothing established like the big companies and their stranglehold on politics (in every industrialized country) will go peacefully, violence will be the only option. But then again: the chance to win such revolution is nearly zero, since that stranglehold on politics, they have armies, police forces, secret services and agencies on their side and working to make their wishes come true. So, that's not the best option.
Democracy is not an option, since it doesn't exist in forementioned countries, because of said stranglehold.
Not buying their products is somewhat doable, but coming to energy or food, it is hard or undoable for most people.
There's one option, a step higher than revolution, which is war. But also with this option the big players will win and the people will lose. Check both world wars and all the wars after the second big one (where one country stands out in starting or helping to start most of them). They were and are all big cash-ins for the big players and a complete disaster for the rest of humanity.So, to answer your question: I have no fucking clue. One thing I do know for sure is that I am against the American way of doing things and how they set up the world against eachother to profit from it and to maintain their incredibly sadistic en preplanned power. Because that is mainly the source of much misery a lot of people around the world are in right now.

Commented in 'Dark data' is killing the planet – we need digital decarbonisation
Which companies are the greatest hoarders of data? Just do not use their services, for instance. And why using cloud-services? According to the article it is so we don't use that data wherever we are. It's environmentally better to store locally. It's like food: local and smallscale is better with that, too. :-)

Commented in Animals we’ve lost: the vivid ‘waving’ frog that vanished suddenly
Eventually we will only be left with a few rodents and birds that are ok to eat at our feeders,a few insects that like our garbage,who can duke it out with mammals and birds who like our garbage..Food animals and animals we keep as pets. And once we have poisoned all the pollinators in order to impress neighbors with "perfect" lawns,we will be gone as well.

Commented in Ultraprocessed foods linked to cancer and early death, studies find
I've ranted so many times on processed "food",it's ridiculous. But yeah,I don't eat it. They also failed to mention processed seed oil like canola,soy,etc. I avoid that as well.

Commented in Crypto investors panic during market bloodbath: ‘I will lose my home’
A home is something you live in, not an investment. Cryptocurrencies are there to enhance trade and thus create productivity and the things we want and/or need, not an investment. The same goes for a lot of companies, they are meant to enhance society by creating products we need, from food to tv's, they serve us and are not an investment.
It's like a hammer, which is meant to hammer in nails or help with breaking things, a tool with a clear purpose, like the forementioned examples, but when you try to use the hammer as a saw, you never get a wanted result besides a growing feeling of disfunctionality of the tool. It's very good that stocks and also crypto are in free fall, a correction if you like, because it's that costly reminder of a greedy abuse of tools that are meant for something else than just lining pockets and not serving us as the tools they were meant to be. -
Commented in America's love affair with the lawn is getting messy
Most of the lawns in America are food deserts for wildlife...Where I used to live is a nature sanctuary and is replete with cottontails,birds,snakes,lizards ,two kinds of squirrels,and turtles..A friend has inherited the property friend lives there and makes sure all is well. There are brush piles,a huge grape vines,food for wildlife that meets with the Neuse river...Even the next doors neighbor is into it with his whole back yard full of clover,which looks like a white blanket going down to the river...I hate these golf course lawns with tons of poisons dumped on them. One neighbor has done this for years and two of her neighbors have cancer,which I suspect is due to living next to poison central...

Commented in Oat and soy milks are planet friendly, but not as nutritious as cow milk
What I really like is goat milk. I don't use soy. Oats are carbs and are converted to sugar as soon as they hit the small intestines...I avoid all grains in any form for that reason. They are also not" planet friendly" due to the tons of pesticides/herbicides dumped on them,even to make them dry out faster,add to that the damage done to native wildlife due to these chemicals and the harvesting process....And the destruction of native habitats and food for wildlife...That happens as well.

Commented in Monarch Butterflies, Dozens of Other Species One Step Closer to Endangered Species Protections
No surprises here...Humans are killing everything to have golf course lawns deprived of life...All food for wildlife mowed to dirt every two weeks by wasteful resource equipment,and gallons of poison doused on everything...I hate people and their stupid virtual signaling: "See how wealthy I am? I have a "perfect" lawn." rolls eyes so hard I fall over.

Commented in Apple Made an Additional $6.5 Billion USD by No Longer Providing Accessories With New iPhones
Those fanbois haven't read the users end agreement very well, because it is not some certificate of ownership, but an agreement/permission to use the software on that piece of hardware. Both OS's are in fact leased to you and stay property of Apple or Microsoft, which renders any consumer right about the software insignificant. Their argument is simple: you agreed on our terms and they state that you, the end user, are under our control and we do whatever the hell we want with our property. Thing is: that's a fact since the inception of their users end agreements and go back many, many years.
You have a strong point on the paying to go online idea. It's already here, in a way, except for the paying part. Without being online it is damn hard to install, update or upgrade the OS's. Also: to do that, you need an account with those companies. Lots of users do not even care about that, they simply do it, because that's easy. And with my experience on helping people with their computers, they can't even give one damn reason why such a dick-move is even close to fair from the perspective of the user. Besides it being convenient, that is.
Things change as soon as they see on their hardware an OS running that doesn't do that and that doesn't send tonnes of telemetry and other data towards servers they can't have access to or even something close to an insight on what's being used or taken. When they see the difference in ease of use, privacy and actual ownership of software, those dear people still need time to recover from the years of being fooled in front of their eyes or even conceptualise what choice and ownership is.
I think that's so sad and hearing people even defend the ways they are used and abused, just for profit, shows how indoctrinated and propagandised they are. Spreading Linux, FreeBSD and all other open source software sometimes feels like an uphill battle, but one laptop or desktop at a time it will grow. And the more people understand the ways they are screwed over, the more people will leave those asshole companies behind. And the sad fact about it is that it's not just with OS's or other software, it's the same screw-overs in other parts of life also. Bank accounts, rent, buying food, borrowing, voting, education, just to name a few, are just as mindblowingly set up to screw people over in ways they can't imagine.

Commented in Inflation, explained by eggs
It is a vicious cycle that leaves little room to do anything about, and with war in Ukraine, the price of wheat, corn, fuel and other things will jump. And that will affect the price of most food and anything transported by truck, train, ship or plane.
