Reply to FTC Finalizes Order Requiring Fortnite maker Epic Games to Pay $245 Million for Tricking Users into Making Unwanted Charges by redbellx86

This would affect Epic Games a lot more if their financials weren't insane anyway.

They have what appears at first glance a license to print money, but actually aren't a profitable company. They make hundreds of millions in revenue every year, but still aren't profitable.

I have no idea how that is working for them and if this will affect their bottom line and if their bottom line matters in any case.

"Pfizer have admitted they did not have any proof the vaccine prevented spreading covid."

"Social media users are circulating video clips of testimony by a Pfizer executive, who is said to “admit” that the company and its partner BioNTech did not test whether their mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine reduced virus transmission prior to rolling it out – which is something the companies were not required to do for initial regulatory approval, nor did they claim to have done.

To get emergency approval, companies needed to show that the vaccines were safe and prevented vaccinated people from getting ill. They did not have to show that the vaccine would also prevent people from spreading the virus to others. Once the vaccines were on the market, independent researchers in multiple countries studied people who received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and did show that vaccination reduced transmission of variants circulating at the time."

The government are also.well aware of overcrowding and housing problems in Sydney and it is supported and encouraged by the councils as it pushes up.rent as rooms are sublet to multiple parties jacking up rent therefore property prices.and council rates.

They would also know one million migrants they process plus the economic migrants who use New Zealand as unrecorded migration will spike after covid induced poverty.

Same as company ies.know putting sugar in baby food will induce diabetes in many more adults and the list goes on.

You think I made en error? In The USA you don’t get to vote on any laws, your representative does. And even if all his constituents want him to vote one way he can disagree and vote the other way. The only thing you can do is vote him out office at the next election. Democracy often results in tyranny of the majority over the minorities and often the majority is wrong.
