Nick1. Lock yourself in an airtight fridge.
Also wtf is Fortune doing offering a $1 subscription, unless it’s actually mainly read by people who are not that well-off but fantasise about being rich and therefore endlessly and self-sabotagingly defend the privileges of the wealthy oh wait I forgot it was American never mind.
Wendinlondon 🇺🇦@Nickiquote Their advertisers probably pay plenty and likely subscription renewal is much more.
AJ Sadauskas@wendinoakland @Nickiquote Exactly that.
You subscribe. But it's only $1.
And then you either forget to cancel in time, or get lost in the dark patterns they've put up around their cancellation process and give up.
Or, best of all for them, you just forget about it and don't check your bank statements regularly.
Then it automatically renews, and you pay the next month's subscription out of your account.
Ideally for them, it's many months before you notice. By then, you've been paying the automatically renewing subscription for months or years.
Just another example of the #enshittification of everything.

George Liquor, American@Nickiquote They just started sending me issues out of nowhere. I've never been a subscriber before.
It's sad, desperate shit.

Terrible Towelie@Nickiquote if they have a private jet they can afford to pay taxes
@terribletowelie @Nickiquote How Dare You? They are so very burdened!!! The rich are not like us (they’re coddled, entitled shits who won’t afford a penny to help, but expect the world to support their desires). 🤪
spanghero@Nickiquote 2. Have one of the help drop said fridge into the sea at least 12 miles off shore in international waters just to be on the safe side.

Eleanor@Nickiquote Nice of them to raise awareness of the fact that private jet users currently aren't paying tax but could be.

They keep their jets out in Westchester County.

Some Kind Of Garf@Nickiquote Greg Raiff is banned from every cobbler's shop because he confuses them for ice lolly buffets.
@somekindofgarf It turns out that Greg Raiff is hardly a disinterested party: “Greg Raiff is CEO at Elevate Aviation Group”.
Jhooper@somekindofgarf @Nickiquote oh, for a minute i thought it would be for the same reason Vance is banned from Sofa King.

disorderlyf@Nickiquote Ah yes, the private jets that famously *every* New Yorker has!
@disorderlyf It’s amazing that they can find places to park them, tbh.
CM Harrington@Nickiquote @thomasfuchs ball peen hammer directly to the forehead.
🏳️⚧️ShadesofRaye🩼Oh no! Not my private jet! Oh right...I live in poverty, nevermind. 🙄
That Dud Bloke@ShadesofRaye They think "Poverty" is a small town in Wisconsin. @Nickiquote
JackMexI was so worried.😧
Then I remembered I would need several lifetimes to afford a private jet.
Duckbilled Plattypus.@Nickiquote Lol. Btw, the tax does not affect small single engine planes just LUXURY jets and business aviation.
Guda Blues@Nickiquote fly like the rest of us.
Coles Street Pothole@Nickiquote So, I can't read the article, but just how do they say Mamdani is going to tax private jets? The Port Authority is under control of the NY and NJ governors, not the NYC mayor. I'm really curious on the mechanics of this, because if he's found a way, good for him!
EDIT: Managed to read it. Any tax would need to go through the governors and the Port Authority. So, like, nothing to do with Mamdani.
What a shit article.
karamazov1879@Nickiquote That is too fucking bad.
