Could be there stockpiled for excuses to target specific people to be fired and only read when they have someone they’re targeting.

Replace “I” with “someone” and my brother would think you are talking about a complete hypothetical, totally not based on any personal experiences.

This looks more like suburbs to me than any city I’ve been to.

Just look at any college campus and try to imagine if those tried to function without walking and transit. If anything, cities without walkable spaces aren’t practical. And things like places to sit and tree coverage are essential parts of walkability, especially further south.

Not working a BS job at a company of like 5 people would probably make a strike seem more meaningful. If I had income to spare, it would probably make more sense to fund someone else to strike at a major company or who does more meaningful work than for myself to strike.

Crisis or opportunity for “job creators” to hire at lower wages?

Curious when that cost is based on. Given future contracts are often purchased in advanced, those prices could reflect prices from months ago, when the wholesale market price was 1/3rd of the current price. Guess still not technically a loss leader if they price current inventory based on what they are paying for future inventory though.

Yeah, local prices can very a lot. My local prices are pretty similar to the ones in this article. But some places have been over $10/dozen for some time.

USDA’s puts them at $7.74/dozen based on futures and project to get to nearly $10 this year. Given eggs can often be loss leaders, actual prices might not match contract prices everywhere, but stores trying to bring in customers and increasing other prices to compensate means looking directly at consumer egg prices might be misleading.

Just because those are there (I assumed it was a legal requirement), doesn’t mean most people actually factor in the difference.

Glad my ass runs on gas instead of electric. /j

Its almost like they don’t want people to be able to make informed decisions about things.

any of the tens (hundreds?) of alternative servers that offer literally exactly the same thing.

Awesome Lemmy Instances shows nearly 500 and its outdated.

Some people pay a lot of attention to what instances people are from. I think I’ve had someone who jumped to negative assumptions about me because of what instance I’m using and I think I might have seen like one person from this instance - I pretty much never see people using the same instance, so its weird imagining someone seeing it enough to have an assumption about the users.

There are some servers that are a bit more tight-knit (hexbear comes to mind).

The Superb Owl. Why does the title mention it, but not show the owl?

But as the conversation continued, they actually started talking about how super wealthy people worth hundreds of millions aren’t paying their fair share of taxes, how they’re ruining towns and making middle class people pay for it, and things like that. Specifically they were talking about some of the environmental damage done to waterways by rich people (they mentioned someone specific but it wasn’t a name I am familiar with and I don’t recall what it was) and how the clean-up is being paid for by middle class tax payers.

I’ve also heard conservatives complain about Trump’s plans in Gaza because “my taxes are going to give free condos to them! 😡” while also saying the government military spending is something they support without understanding how USAID is part of the MIC they seem to claim to support. Some seem to think spending money on bombing others is how you make America safe instead of making it more dangerous…

The hexbear trans megathread has a lot of general life posting stuff, but it is not a general LGBT+ thing.

The only places I regularly hear Americans talk about therapy in a normal way is like online queer spaces. And I wonder how much of that is a holdover from medical gatekeeping of medical care for trans people.
