Algorithms are now setting prices – and often using your data to do it. Consumers don't have to simply accept it. “Shoppers turned picket lines into policy before, and they can do it again,” @lindsayowens.bsky.social told @fastcompany.com.
fastcompany.com
That price you’re seeing online may have been picked specifically for you
Companies increasingly have access to enormous amounts of consumer data, and AI is making it easier to determine exactly how much individual shoppers may be willing to pay.

Fetterman is garbage. He betrays the people who fought for him when he was at his lowest point - and that fight is the only reason he’s in the senate. Now he’s actively working to raise money for Republican PACs.

If you’re not from Missouri, you may not know that Eric Schmitt got his start in MAGA politics by suing public schools for mask mandates while their teachers died during a pandemic. The really strange thing? He never sued his own kids’ school for their mask mandate. He’s a piece of Schitt.

1. Eric Schmitt booked this show as a victory lap for his "gotcha" moment revealing "proof" that Jack Smith was at an Atlanta Hawks game. 2. That "proof" blew up in Schmitt's face. 3. Instead of cancelling this appearance, he dishonestly colludes with the hosts to pretend he did have that proof.
