Ultra bright headlights.
I see what you mean
Private property.
Forced arbitration
Definitely in a B2C context. If businesses want to force arbitration between themselves then fine.
Even worse in a Business to Employee context.
Reposting things from reddit that have been posted there over 1000 times.
Oh shit! He’s on to us.
Driving cars when babies exist in the world.
Exploiting animals
Boobstreamers eroticizing themselves in front of kids and luring them to their onlyfans sites. Should be treated as pedophilia
Using “tipping” as an excuse not to pay workers living wage.
Displaying prices without tax.
P.S. This is illegal where I live, but some places would be better off if it were illegal there also.
Displaying the price you will pay at the counter is my personal benchmark for civilized society. No price tags? You’re a medieval backwater. Wrong price tags? Go see a shrink, USA. Correct price tags is the way to go.
Would it change your assessment if they have dynamic price tags that you can only see with the aid of some network-connected augmented reality solution or an online catalog (that you access with a QR code you scan, geotagged software, or something along those lines)?
It’s weird here too because states set sales taxes. I live in Oregon, and we don’t have a standard sales tax here. That means what you see is what you pay at the register for most things, and it’s so freaking nice.
About the only thing I regularly see is the bottle tax (0.10/can added at the register). That’s refundable too, at least theoretically, so it’s not that bad.
Usury
As a general rule, the amount of exploitation and fraud it takes to “become” a billionaire should probably be illegal.
Lying about what you do with peoples data and who you share it with.
Sentencing and punishment are affected by “caste”
There is no ethical way for an individual to possess a billion dollars. The amount of harm an individual would have to cause to attain and retain assets of that magnitude should not just be criminal; it should be a capital offense.
Tipping.
Giving tips is okay. Paying your employees less because you expect them to be tipped is stupid. Culturally requiring tips to make up the majority of a position’s income is ridiculous, but very difficult to change.
Capitalism, Literaly all of capitalism.
Fun fact: Pyramid Schemes (now called MLMs) cannot be made fully illegal because they are pure expressions of capitalism. In order to make them fully illegal they would have to admit the entire system is a scam, which they obviously aren’t willing to do since they benefit from it.
Inb4 a Supreme Court ruling including “MLMs are like hard-core pornography - ‘I know it when I see it.’”
payday loans
I’ve heard the argument that if those were illegal, loan sharks would just take their place. And they tend to be worse.
yeah well why not have state licensed hit men then
And then if those were illegal, actual sharks would take their place. And they are way worse.
You know what would be really funny? Starting a payday loan business that isn’t as nightmarishly exploitative just to upset the industry.
Half of the things that go on with donations. People who are enlightened enough to know 90% of your money doesn’t go to its intended place (whether you’re donating to starving Africans, people with a medical condition, etc.) cannot effectively stand up to corrupt charity organizations in a culture where half of the people still think the Salvation Army is a literal branch of the army. Even the charity watch groups are compromised.
Pets. Or at least you need to know how to take care of them.
For example rabbits shouldn’t be alone.
And wtf is up with putting birds in cages? They are supposed to be free and fly you sick ****!
Dogs on chains…
I feel I can continue forever and it’s sad.
Dogs on chains are outlawed in Croatia.
Parents who dont know how to be parents having one or multiple childs is the same
This seems significantly more impactful than pets
For example rabbits shouldn’t be alone.
This is why I got a hamster, instead of rats. They LIKE being alone.
And SO MANY HAMSTER CAGES you buy in pet stores, recommended by pet store employees are WAY too small for them. So many of the wheels you can get for them are too small and give them back problems. If you buy something retail for a rodent, get the thing for a one size bigger rodent! Some of the things PetSmart markets for Syrian hamsters for instance are criminally small, enough to amount to cruelty.
But taking my hamster and putting him in the wild would be like taking a dude who lives in a five bedroom condo with a private swimming pool and an indoor gym and free door dash twice a day and sending him to live in a cave in the woods and telling him he should be grateful he gets to live free, the way he was meant to.

That’s all for ONE hamster.
EDIT: Also… fuck hamster balls. Hamster’s have very very poor vision, so they can’t really see anything outside the ball. They’re rolling around in a confusing environment with very poor ability to gauge the outside world. If you put a hamster in one of these, you have no idea if it’s freaking out or stressed out or having a good time… but it IS rolling around in absolute ignorance of where it’s going or what it’s bumping into and if you pick it up and move it around it has very little understanding of what’s happening.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Yeah pet licenses should definitely be a thing
