In addition to the other replies, items there were just too expensive. Now, items are too expensive without the mall, and it’s not to do with regular/mid-low level management, supply chain costs, but due to price gouging, in order to pay executive, board, and and other major share holders/investors. (See the Economic Policy Institute reports on this, for more info).

I know. As individuals, our scope is limited. Mutual aid, direct action is probably the best option, for the foreseeable future. In some areas, it’s herding cats.

He may or not be in that situation, but if he is, I don’t think anyone will tell us, anytime soon.

Yes, tfg was worse and would be worse still. The Democrats see the writing on the wall and are not getting it together rapidly or “radically” enough. I’m aware that’s not a popular opinion, but it’s what I see, regardless of if everyone not for the other guy gets on board or not.

Eh, the body has been dead, this is just “giving up the ghost.” Don’t shoot the messenger. It is what it is.

Now we have a choice: focus on identity issues, or do what is right for everyone. Good luck, world.

After Reagan left office, we learned he had Alzheimer’s, and Nancy was governing from the shadows. It didn’t come out* until years after he died. 🤷‍♀️ I don’t think he’s well, and I thought it’s obvious, but I guess people believe what they want to believe. That applies to me, too.

Biden policies or a handler’s policies in the shadows?

I think that’s scientifically accurate, too.

Made my day! Thanks.

I concur with you and this post commenter:

That’s on you

I said what I said.

In some ways, loss leading can be done in more or less ethical ways. For instance, a small mom n pop hardware loss leading on lumbar or hammers and taking a reasonable profit on ten penny nails. Or something, maybe a better example is the Costco 1.50 all beef foot-long dog and soda but their memberships are reasonable profit for those who would go often enough and buy enough to make it worth it. It’s late and I’m tired, I hope you get the general gist. But yes, doordash is just double-dipping on the sleazy. And maybe loss leading isn’t ever acceptable, but I’m simply unaware/haven’t thought of reasons that make it so. I’m willing to hear any argument against any of it, though.

That’s your takeaway? It’s like Walmart moving into a town and undercutting indie business prices until the indie businesses close, then raising prices.

What doordash is doing is scraping restaurants’ websites for prices, taking a temporary loss, then going to the restaurants saying, “We got all these orders, it’s a win for both of us!” to sell the contact, then raising prices and tacking on extra fees, making money off the restaurants and the customers

Lol! You can’t read my mind?

Sorry, I was thinking about the current political climate, recent political developments and how that may change. As someone else mentioned, unless you’re in a few specific fields of employment, it’s not happening.

That people normalize this is maddening.

Your country doesn’t want us, unless they’re going to take political asylum seekers while maintaining 38 of our military installations there. I don’t guess that’s in the cards.

It’s more plausible that a 53 year old knows what a Rick roll is than for his kid to not know that

You’re not wrong and it’s sad you’re being dv’d simply because “the other side” doesn’t have a monopoly on the cult of personality.

More integrity than her brother.
