I’m surprised you’ve had that reaction. Every urban bugman I know orders literally every physical thing from Amazon and orders their food from Uber Eats/Doordash. This is despite them living in a so-called walkable community and constantly calling for Bezos’ head.
First smart thing they've done since they first involved themselves in political sperging that didn't involve them.
I love how it's always the lady cop that feels the need to chirp back.
I know, right? I don’t do it out of principal or anything (more just a genuine preference on my part) but I’ll only buy shit on Amazon that I cannot find locally and prefer sitting in at restaurants.
I do not think she is necessarily wrong. Tensions are high. For the most part, protesters are being very disciplined and peaceful, and Canadian authorities seem to be operating with an abundance of caution, but it is not inconceivable for this to escalate into something much more serious. All it takes is one miscommunication, or moment of confusion, for something to turn into a flashpoint.
Can't get Doordash from Cheesecake Factory if there isn't a Cheesecake Factory in the area.
Spoiler alert: They're still going to get a million chargebacks, if anyone on the right is paying attention, and a thousand arbitration notices. A two week delay on a refund is plenty of justification for a chargeback, and in this instance a chargeback actively harms GoFundMe, who has outed themselves as an enemy. And this little stunt they pulled is interference with a tort, or at least I'm sure some lawyer could make that claim.
The flaw with Patreon is they required arbitration under the California Arbitration Act which requires a corporation pay the cost of arbitration in consumer disputes. GFM was smart enough to at least require using the Federal Arbitration Act.
I'm trying to imagine the logic they were using initially. Like they figure everyone donating is wanting to donate to something charitable, so if the one charity doesn't work they won't mind if it goes to a 'generally' nice charity like BLM or whatever?
I honestly don't understand why they went through GoFundMe in the first place.
There's a ring of truth to this. Even if GFM machine-guns the backend APIs to issue refunds as rapidly as possible, all banks deliberately make it as slow and inconvenient as possible to move money out of them. Even when you pay them to expedite things, they still drag their feet as much as possible. So yeah, they're probably speaking from experience when they say it's really going to take two weeks for people to get their money back.
Yeah I dunno how much noticeable effect they'll have trying to disrupt traffic in the UK:
They realized this would blow up in their face when multiple US states started criminal investigations for theft and fraud. That, along with the chargebacks, is why they are scrambling now.
Because no one has ever heard of anything other than GoFundMe and one of the major benefits of the left controlling the media is no one ever hears about GoFundMe fucking people over like this until it becomes so obvious even Tucker Carlson covers it.
If nothing else, they'll have to connect every chargeback to a refund and make sure they're not refunding someone $5000 that they got back in Chargebacks.
Lol now that some tow trucks have joined in, they should start towing their cop cars.
My social studies courses were only in middle school and were essentially just history. I even had one teacher who outright told the class that the Confederacy had legitimate grievances leading up to the civil war. This was like 2010, though.
So many governments overthrown by honks
