Wait until you find out about American car companies
They would rather not sell you a car. More profitable to sell you a loan to buy a car, or even better just lease it to you for a monthly fee, then take it back and sell it to someone else, maybe in a different market.
List prices are mostly to deter people buying those cars, but at least in the UK if you look around you can usually get them with a very hefty discount. Mine was about 30% off.
There's apparently only one large American supermarket chain that DOESN'T take credit cards, WinCo.
I do most of my shopping there, at Grocery Outlet, and at Costco. I actually do more shopping at grossout, because they are the closest thing that doesn't suck. We have a local market and mini-market, and I'm not a big fan of either one. (The market is somewhere around "OK", the mini market is disappointing.) I got Costco's card honestly just to get fuel quicker as the card is a membership card, and it's convenient for me to stop in there on my way to work.
Winco is an employee-owned co-op, and their pricing seems to be dynamic in general and the prices actually go back down, so I'm really happy with them. Grocery Outlet has beer I want to drink and high quality local dairy products, and an interesting and ever-changing stock of weird shit, and neither of the local ones are scuzzy. I have a chest freezer...
Just remember next time you hear about unemployment going up while you eat your burger that you're not getting food poisoning because of regulations and that it has nothing to do with jobs.
Of course it does. It doesn't have to do with just one thing. Keeping the machine spinning is the reason why even heartless fucks should be interested in workers' needs being met, if they weren't idiots. But that's the problem with such people, if you're smart then you realize that you don't want to live in a world of shit.
Just because there are people available to work that doesn't mean they will be hired. And they won't be hired because of AI.
If the GOP continues to run the government the old people won't be a problem either because they will die when they lose health coverage.
Creating icons in the game is part of creating the game. You just said it wasn't used for that and then said it was used for that.
"I'm against AI slop as much as anyone, and in general a fan of regulation, but this really is something that should be solved by the market. If people don't want AI slop, let them not buy it"
This isn't about the slop. If you're a fan of regulation, and saving jobs isn't a good enough reason for you, wait you're not actually a fan.
My local supermarkets, at least the ones where I shop, don't allow purchases with credit. This is irritating AF even though I have the money in the bank because I get a percentage back.
