A lot. They wouldn’t spend $70 for 1 item. They will buy a few packs here and there and that’s $100 spent and they didn’t even know.

My kids did that. I gave them a debit card with some allowance and next thing I know, $50 was spent on a micro transaction. $5, $7 and then a few more clicks, $50.

Google policy is they only refund the last transaction 1 time for an app.

If you are a TWTR shareholder, then you should vote for this deal.

Just open a chart and see what a disaster TWTR stock is since transitioned into the Biden administration. The market (institution shareholders) is not stupid. The lower price is how the free market punish TWTR for their actions. They have lost a lot of their users due to many of their limited free speech and work with government actions.

I thought people were mad at Twitter for resisting the government, not working with it -- when they were pushing back against the president of the US.

I'm not sure I'd expect coherence from anyone who has a problem with Trump getting banned from Twitter.

The biggest problem twitter had there was that they had rules and then certain users with such a large following that they where unwilling to enforce them.

It took a literal insurrection on the capitol to do it.

I don't have a solution, moderation is inherently a problem for that case.

It's absolutely nothing to do with Biden. TWTR start sliding in October, 10 months after he took office. It's currently the same price as late 2020. It's almost like there is a war, another wave in the pandemic, and sudden inflation and those things are effecting the markets overall.

Twitter has underperformed the market overall.

Trump brought a lot of attention to twitter.

It is supply and demand. If the buyers don't think it worth the price, they wouldn't place the bids.

If you want open bid/ask, there is always the stock/futures/options markets.

When you put it like that, buying carbon credit seems a lot like paying indulgences.

You do understand the reason why US has such high health care cost is because the only player getting screw is the payer, also known as the patient.

yes, but nah.

the reason the US has such high healthcare is because healthcare is both private and paid-by-insurance.

a lot of other nations have free healthcare, both in the american continent and in Europe.

> the reason the US has such high healthcare is because healthcare is both private and paid-by-insurance.

Lots of countries have combined public/private systems and get equal or better results with lower per capita and per GDP expenditure than the US.

The US has expensive healthcare because it has an exceptionally poorly designed public/private system, not because it has a public/private system.

You're not engaging in good faith, but I'll offer this: I have not died of botulism thanks to regulation.

Do you seriously need someone to provide a laundry list of all the ways government protects you and your interests? Or are you just being obtuse?

Have you looked at social media? Most people live by appearances and fake a lot of emotions.

Not saying this is the case with your neighbor, but if they’re just a neighbor, not a close friend, they might simply not feel okay talking about it with you.

I despise my job, but I'm unskilled and considering my pay, benefits, and responsibilities it's the best compromise I've found. I'd tell you, and my coworkers, that I'm happy. But I'm lying and no one wants to hear me complain about the bad hand life has dealt me so I put my face on and pretend, like just about everyone else.

They are a monopoly. I hope the Judge on Epic class call this Apple’s Motion to Dismiss.

Hopefully there will be platform independent store where you can buy once and available on all devices.

For media, Amazon is platform-independent for music, books and movies.

Apple and Google’s action is no more than a cartel than Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile in the late 90s and early 2000s. They just don’t compete against each other.
