Aside from misrepresenting links to news as stealing news, it’s ironic that this  appears on a website whose business model consists primarily of rewriting stories that have appeared elsewhere.

Microsoft tried and failed... Why? I don't know.

I was still working for Microsoft when the first Microsoft Store opened. A number of us were watching the video on our PCs. It was painfully obvious that the design was  a copy of the Apple Store, but it didn’t seem to fit our business model. We couldn’t figure out how it made sense. Then, the employees started leading the customers in a line dance. Huh? Why were they dancing? It was all so bizarre. And then, one woman in the back line stopped dancing, picked up a box from a shelf, and put it in her purse. She was shoplifting our product, in the middle of our promotional video, and no one in the store even noticed!

I guess people get wrapped up in impulse buys enough to spend that kind of money. Me? I'll buy the used copy for $8 and save a bundle... As for returns, fortunately there's a UPS store a few doors down from the Amazon store.

Being able to browse the entire contents of a book, not just a limited number of pages online, is a big plus. I also find it easier to discover books I didn’t know about while browsing through the stacks at a real bookstore. Having said that, the selection of books at the Amazon bookstore was too limited for me. The only thing I found there worth buying was a Scientific American magazine. There’s not much money to be made selling magazines.

Hopefully illegal immigrants would not be eligible for any of that money.

Another white nationalist worried that immigrants are stealing his government handouts?

What you're missing is an understanding that there is no such thing as objective quality of subjective things like humor. The fact that you don't like something doesn't mean it is bad, and if that thing is popular and acclaimed, then regardless of what you think of it, you have to acknowledge that it has achieved success by subjective metric.

Nope. If you read what I said, about the *quantity* of jokes in each episode, you will see how foolish your response is. The *quality* of humor may be subjective; the *quantity* is not. Counting is not subjective. 2+2=4, no matter who is counting.
