TRUMP: OUR INFLATION IS SHORT TERM

Bill Gates: "6% of global emissions are cows who burp and fart methane to an extreme degree. You can either fix the cows, or make beef without the cow." Can we just fix Bill instead?

Downloaded an app this morning It asked me to accept the terms and conditions 197 pages I read them Because that's what I do By page 12 I'd granted them an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free license to my data That's the same language I see in contracts worth more than my house For a free app By page 41 I'd agreed to resolve all disputes through binding arbitration in the state of Delaware I've never been to Delaware No jury trial No class action No discovery process They gave themselves more legal protection than most Fortune 500 vendor agreements I've reviewed By page 87 they'd reserved the right to modify the agreement at any time without notice So I agreed to terms that can change after I agreed to them I've reviewed contracts with better reps and warranties than this By page 134 they could terminate my account at their sole discretion with no obligation to refund anything Unilateral termination with no cure period My board doesn't even have that No one reads this They designed it that way 197 pages for an app that tracks my water intake I've signed deals with shorter contracts My wife asked why I've been staring at my phone for two hours I said "a contract disguised as a checkbox" She looked at the ceiling Make common sense common again Sent from my iPhone
