You would hope so! Why would you want to use a lip balm without it...

...it's still a scam. Designing a whole UX experience to imply that it's random, but, in reality the true nature is hidden down in the fine…

You make it sound like they're not quite literally getting a subsidy for free from the government. "Only" getting 30% back? That is a…

Banks don't want people who "churn" - they want people who become indebted for life.

And? Even if it's made in China I don't think any part of my comment is going to change.

Odds are it is vaporware. It is unlikely they will produce enough for the US domestic market, let alone ship over to Australia. They’d…

Taxing emissions however achieves a secondary purpose; to reduce emissions. It targets the tax to achieve a desired public benefit. Taxing…

Raising the GST is the most preposterous solution of all. It should be abolished. It is only popular due to relative simplicity and how…

Apple "known for reliability" is... a total farce. The hardware itself have numerous recall programs and widespread issues. However,…

They markup anything purchased with a coupon. You can purchase "$5 +$5 coupon" or you can purchase for whole price at $10. Either way, you…

I've certainly heard this idea that credit is "their money" but I think it's really just a marketing plot for credit. It doesn't matter if…

>This isn't that. It is **exactly** that. Playing semantic games and saying "they're not weapons they're tools" is just a distraction. They…

I don't know if I really support such a law. Probably not, to be honest. It seems a bit overkill. However, I really get turned off caring…

You can quite easily reverse tap if you want to leave.
