Their margins are razor thin. If Klarna pays them 90%, and their margin is 4-5%, that's a loss. Klarna must be working on an even thinner margin. And that's not the retailer who has 0-4% margins.

Point being, they can't be making anything off that. Klarna makes a little something, but Temu sold the product for less than the sticker price when their margins are already very small. How much would the volume have to increase to make what must then be a 0-2% margin sustainable?

I'm sorry, but most of the posts here are just digs at Trump and many are more clearly flamebait than this one liner.

That you don't see an issue speaks volumes.

"We can't read" seems sufficiently pathetic and childish, but the prior change wasn't considered newsworthy.

Point is, this is "The Slow News Season", or, "The Silly Season".

"And besides, this is a de facto visa for people who are supposed to be able to travel visa-free."

Who, besides you, says this is about people who shared memes making fun of the administration? Has the administration said that? Please provide a citation for your claim.

European nations should follow suit. There have been too many illegal immigrants coming into the US to assume that someone traveling from the US is who they claim to be.

I would like to introduce you to a friend of mine. His name is Shift, and he lives on your keyboard. Pressing him can make letters bigger. Like the letter 'i', which when acting as a pronoun, must be capitalized.

I'm sorry you worded your post so very, very poorly. It does not make me the idiot.

He was quoting something Joe Biden said. I think the points you raised have been well and widely recognized already.

Did your parents get you a job? Mine didn't.

Wealthy, college graduate, parents provide considerable career counseling throughout their child's life. First generation graduates don't get that. But, for $32 a week, who cares? Not statistically significant!

I mean, if they can help you get a job it will help your career. Otherwise, the benefits are unrelated to one's career. Not that you're likely to know ahead of time.

I reject the "it's who you know" line. That's advice for very sociable people who are lacking in other skills.

Well, given the issues they identified as being lacking for the first-generation graduates, the required support is already being provided through the school's career counseling offices (whatever they may be called). So, the only actual area for "policy intervention" is encouraging students to use that service.

That is, they need help preparing before the transition, not during. The author's conclusions are stupid.

There is a less bitter way to look at it. One that doesn't include falling back on family, nepotism, or family contacts. First generation college graduates don't have parents that can advise them to lock down a job before graduating, or how to negotiate the best starting salary. They simply weren't raised by people who could advise them on how to succeed out of college.

You don't need to look at everything through a lens of evil to find answers.

For example, what they did here was discover the phenomenon of generational post-secondary education.

Though I also question how statistically significant a $1,700 difference actually is. They may have discovered nothing at all.

It wasn't because of a broken standard. TVs of the time usually only had one input - RF connectors for an antenna. So, almost every console needed one, as did every VCR or cable box. Yes, RCA had existed for decades and many consoles had them, but unless you were rich you probably didn't have them on your TV (nobody I knew did). The RCA (brand) TV I grew up with only had RF. The original Atari VCS (2600) had a switch to select if it broadcast on VHF channel 2 or 3.

There are awards shows with plenty of luster - the Oscars for example - but they don't have much substance, and I still wouldn't watch them if they did. Awards shows with substance, on the other hand, are...

are... uhm...

Are there any?

Nah, I still wouldn't want to watch it. I'm moderately interested in the outcome in that I might want to take a look and see if the winners and nominees are games I might like. And I'm slightly interested to see if games I already like or hate win anything. Like, if Bloodlines 2* won something, I might be able to entertain myself with "WTF were they thinking?" posts.

*Well, I didn't hate it, I just didn't like it. I hated that it wasn't actually a sequel to Bloodlines, just a boring first-person stealth/punching game. I just needed an example of a recent game I played and didn't enjoy.

It's 150 minutes, right? 30*5? No, wait, that's obviously stupid. I forgot the 13. 163 minutes.

Does anyone know why the Court struck down the ban? I'm hoping the decision was worded in a way that opens the door for better-worded legislation, because this is entirely and only harmful for society.
