Comment Price Machine (Score 1) 72

My partner is a price machine.
They can tell you exactly what the prices are for regularly purchased goods at every single store we frequent.
I can point to avocados and ask if thatâ(TM)s a good price or not, and they can tell me the prices of every other place they have been to.

It appears Walmart is beginning to mess with this. But if the prices go up and fluctuate then we will simply stop shopping there. We will, in fact, start going to the small discount grocery places which have sprung up in the area. The avocados might be going bad soon, but when they are half the price of the other stores in the area, itâ(TM)s absolutely worth it.

  Iâ(TM)m not saying most people will do this. Most people just want convenience. We think about the time and gas cost to procure specific goods, and do a quick optimization based on that. If Walmart starts messing with our ability to get a reasonable price, we simply wonâ(TM)t shop there anymore, and they will have lost a customer.
Other people can just blindly walk into this, and Iâ(TM)m sure they will. At this point in American economics other people can go get effed sideways⦠it means more opportunities for those who pay attention to whatâ(TM)s going on. Canâ(TM)t pay attention and have a little critical thinking? Well, I guess thatâ(TM)s your problem.

It speaks to the propaganda going on out there that this got marked troll. At the end of the day, this will just make the streaming service as a propaganda, Outlet more than anything. You know it and I know it and everybody else knows it.

The REAL prize is CNN. It has a worldwide reach, and now it will be propaganda.
No, when terrible things happen in the United States? There will be literally no one to report on it to the wider world. You are now trapped and you donâ(TM)t even know it. That you means every one of you poor bastards that see this hand in America. Those of you in China and Russia? Well you must be pleased.

Itâ(TM)s weird, there is a MAJOR tax scam going on involving filing millions of returns early/fraudulently using small local banks with weak security⦠stolen identities.
The IRS is the only agency with funding able to figure out how to fix it. States are dead in the water⦠returns filled out obviously using a bot with random info, actually making it much harder to detect them, oddly.

There are all kinds of things going on out there that are not getting reported in mainstream media. This is definitely one of them and it is wasting enormous amounts of taxpayer dollars at both the federal and state levels. No one is talking about it because no one wants to admit, they have no idea how to fix itâ¦

My first thought when seeing this is that itâ(TM)s somehow funneled to bad actors inside the United States, but it could be anybody.

Thatâ(TM)s a naÃve and juvenile black and white scenario.
There are 1000 gradations of gray in between Must Profit and Collapse.
In fact, one should probably go so far as to say that corporations ought to work for humanity, not for a stock market bottom line ultimately destroying the very systems they depend on. By having different profit motives, and not having a mandate to always make profit or they are sued into oblivion, you have a vehicle which might actually help humanity.

Well yeah, because if all those resources in prosperity had been distributed around, we might have a shot at levering back the economy without everything collapsing. We made way too much stuff and generated way too much value, but it all got concentrated at the top rather than distributed so everyone could stop working and sit back and put the brakes on workaholism a little bit.

But this is the argument that Maga is using right now about ice. They are saying that the protesters are making it worse for themselves. When you tell them that ice has been killing people and disappearing them they donâ(TM)t have an answer. you asked them what they were doing in this situation? They donâ(TM)t have an answer.
You asked them what they would do to defend their neighbors, or how they would feel if people in the neighborhood started getting dragged out of their houses or killed? They donâ(TM)t have an answer.

They keep going back toâ well they deserve itâ

The critical thinking just doesnâ(TM)t seem to be there
