The problem is that we see that sort of argument all the time on the internet, which gives us a skewed view of Republicans. The right wing is loud, even leaving out the shills trying to stir the pot.

There was a broad mix of stuff that used 2-digit years that would have had problems with it, stuff that used 2-digit years where it wouldn’t really impact anything, and stuff that used 4-digit years and so wasn’t a problem.
However, if it drove any sort of critical infrastructure, it had to be audited just in case it fit in the first category.

Part of the purpose of debate is to find the holes in an argument so you can fix them. If you don’t understand your weaknesses, you can’t guard against them. That is why people play devil’s advocate.
Especially when your argument is as full of holes as ‘some corporations do horrible things, so clearly making implications about an evil corporation, no matter how wrong, is the right thing to do’.
It would probably be a pyrrhic victory though.
You picked a side
Yeah. They picked truth and honesty over sensationalism.
Spreading lies about corporations doesn’t help. They’re bad enough anyways; we don’t need to make up stories about them to paint them in a bad light, they’re perfectly capable of painting themselves.
That depends on if they’re reporting LESS money than they actually made, or are reporting MORE money than the shop itself actually took in.
If everything is in cash, you can inflate it pretty easily without raising eyebrows.
I dropped Reddit when it was announced that you could be banned for upvoting something.

SparroHawc@lemm.eeto MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works•Guys, turns out NK isn't a brutal dictatorship after all, they're really an example of "Good Communism"! LMAOEnglish11·20 days agoI mean… it wasn’t.
Communism means all things held in common. Theft wouldn’t be a thing because everyone owns all property together. Ownership is meaningless.
Every one of those societies only paid lip service to communism - partly because it only works when everyone in the commune knows everyone else and holds each other responsible. It doesn’t work at scale. What those societies really were was “The state owns everything and if you complain about it you get disappeared.”
