Notice Shopping at tesco is getting more expensive. WHY The company said it now expected to make underlying annual profits of between £3.15bn and £3.3bn. YOU ARE BEING CONNED, the price rises are to increase profits to PERVERSION LEVEL... Not because of purely external price rises, WHILE THE COST IS EXTERNALISED

This is a great theory until you compare it to every other inflationary episode in history. Why would the public suddenly develop a precise decade-long memory of what prices “should” be
This is one of the biggest opportunities in news product. I love the team at The 19th: it’s doing much-needed work, serving a mission that matters, and happens to be a collection of some of the best humans I’ve ever met.
I really only envy the rich one thing: the peace of mind that comes from knowing that if something happens you have the money to throw at a problem. Money does not solve all problems -- but it sure as hell makes dealing with problems that can't be avoided much easier. Someone's sick? You don't have to worry about paying medical bills, affording medications, etc. Somebody got drunk and plowed into your car last night? Sucks, but if you have enough money, it's just a minor hassle and not a catastrophe. Call a tow truck, your insurance, and rent a car while everything gets sorted out. Your kid needs braces? No problem. Money.

Kids going to college? Tuition and rent are not a problem. Visiting at will? No problem. Worrying about your kid while they're away? Sorry - you're on your own with that one... but you know you have the money to deal with most problems. Someone died? All the money in the world won't bring them back -- but not having to worry about, say, funeral expenses and all the financial impacts makes it easier to just deal with the grief.
The nation’s largest food distributor, Sysco, is buying Restaurant Depot—a deal that could drive up costs for restaurant owners and, ultimately, consumers. I’m calling on the FTC and DOJ to put a pause on this merger and protect independent restaurant owners and the communities they serve.
Amazon screwed up my delivery yesterday. It said it was on the truck since like 8 am, and at 10 pm it changed to a reassuring, “Your package is still scheduled to arrive today.” (Almost exact words) Then at midnight it switched to essentially, “maybe next week”. Seems like they’d have more info about this. Also seems like they intentionally keep customer service in the dark in an effort to lower expectations and blow off complaints

I’m always arguing with myself about whether to participate more in capitalism (i.e. exploit more, make more money) or stay at a distance (i.e. exploit less, make less money). I’ve been lucky enough to be able to pretty much stay away from any direct exploitation and still have enough money to enjoy myself and probably retire ok, but sometimes I feel that I’ve left so much money on the table over the decades by not doing common things that are exploitative, like buying extra houses to rent them out, or by doing moonshot bets in clearly enshittifying business ventures that are bad for society. I guess I should count myself lucky that I’ve enjoyed the benefits of capitalism and still avoiding its worst behaviors, but every now and then I wonder. I really hate that capitalism works this way, that exploitation is the best path to securing a comfortable future. #capitalism
I wish NYC Groceries the best of luck... but how does it look different than business as usual? 30% cheaper is just a wild price point to call out before they've got a single store open.

Isn't it strange that the guilds and cinema groups pushed for a set number of films released each year, but nothing about ensuring workforces weren't impacted. Mergers always end up with mass layoffs. Shame on these greedy organisations.

When a company says it’s making an investment in a place, we should always try to understand how they intend to make a return on it.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a work environment when people said “out of pocket” when they were working off aite. Does is still mean “getting paid to day drink?”
I have absolutely had to do this. Hours reduced, but promised it would get better. It didn’t. Eventually the business went broke. People have such a black & white view of economics. It is anything, but that. Did you know governments WANT a certain amount of unemployment?
You may get promoted at some point, but often just for the title. There is still no extra time and money available, so now you are doing even more work, all for the chance of hopping jobs at some point with the help of that new title.
