This is preferable. I wouldn't trust a cashier to detect fraud in any trustworthy rate. That wording in the guideline is important. Suspicion of fraud is not fraud. Acting upon employee suspicion would just skyrocket costumer outbursts and complaints.

Isnt the entire amazon marketplace doing the same? Marking up cheap white label alibaba products by a couple 100%s and selling it to americans?. And then bragging about making millions with "dropshipping"

I believe nobody said "evil boogyman". But saying "government controlled" isn't much of a stretch for any Chinese company. I expect they do have some level of "de facto" control on over any company operating in the Mainland

Technically true but wrong. If your oldest Facebook post is from 2015, how likely is it that you've been using the internet before 2005?! Archeologists are very smart people in their own right, some are much smarter than we are. They do consider everything that we think they haven't. Let's give some benefit of the doubt to our fellow researchers.

This has to be the most misunderstood comment. Honestly eve tho I don't work for an and centric company I do feel what you went through. Because of how much YouTube helped me, I couldn't bear myself using an ad blocker. Then things like Patreon and sponsorship deals came along and I decided to treat myself a nice ad blocker. Still couldn't do the full thing, so I went with one called "fair ad blocker" that actually let's in some no -intrusive ones so it's a little light on my conscience. Still using it. It let's in some annoying pop ups too sometimes, but such is the price.

I am torn on this issue, maybe I don't see the whole picture. Uber was never meant to be a taxi company. It was a means for people with cars to share their gas expenses. I don't know how could they ever prevent this gig from becoming a full-time job for most drivers, but I think forcing employment is not a solution.
