Opinion about what happened once doesn't really matter, unless it was yours at the time and what, if anything, you learned about yourself. You stumbled out fell down, maybe got a bit mashed up a bit, picked yourself up, dusted it off and got on with healing. That's amazing.

- Comment on Small YouTube Reviewer SUED for exposing DCS battery product issues & misleading warranty policy 4 months ago:
Three corporate heirs' income could pay $333.3 mn once, which I'm assuming includes themselves. I'm not suggesting taking all their money (and they probably collectively have far more, counting hidden away assets, including liquid). So a 93% tax rate (iirc, top tier income bracket rate from the 1950s) on earnings over a couple of million per year could easily pay for basic living living, education and health? Then nationalize things required, such as health care, food, water, housing, quality (but not luxury) clothing, utilities including broadband, and of course other natural resources, nationwide and intra-Americas rail, public trolly systems, and re/build crumbling infrastructure to include massive sustainable, renewable energy, everyone could live a decent life, with adequate time for family, rest, recreation, the elite could maintain opulence and "charities," and added personal income and GDP could exponentially expand and employers would have to treat employees as human beings, rather than wage/chattel slaves, with the added bonus of not worrying about their precious, delicate necks due to civil unrest?
I obviously haven't done even the most rudimentary maths involved in this train of thought, just musing before a nap. Perhaps a math/economy pro could chime in?

I guess maybe doing without meals to bless a loved one, you see it differently.

Happy early birthday 🎉 (or unbirthday, as you please)! Nothing wrong with not believing, but loving the holidays, any of them. I personally really love classical, so Handle's Messiah (the whole thing) brings me great joy. I really hope your birthday brings blessings, miracles, magic or incredibly beautiful, incredible things your way, pick and choose the words you prefer, leave the rest. Your post made my very long day!

You probably did and that's probably a standard font.
- Comment on First Christmas display of the year... in July 4 months ago:
Before this was a thing in stores, elderly family members would buy things on sale so year for holiday and other special occasion gifts, because resources were limited. And there's nothing wrong with being wise, even if one has sufficient resources. There's a difference between that and stinginess/greed, and the line is thin and can easily become blurred. If I have what I need and operate from, hmm a lack mindset (”I lack personal operable transportation, poor me!), it is easy to fall into stinginess. When I operate from abundance mindset (”Good neighbors/friends/family go a bit out of their way, to make sure I can get to appointments and do other necessary errands! I'm so fortunate!" And compensate with gas money, chores, small but meaningful gifts if the others are declined or money is tighter), I can be wise and keep in my lane because the lines are seen more clearly.

The package isn't resealable, either. That's just shady, pricing it so high, and making the consumer pay more for resealable packaging is just next-level greed.

Look at your own policies and how they were shaped and why they were instituted. Or what happened to the world's economy when the US economy was in trouble. You don't have to like it. I don't like it. Ignoring facts doesn't change them.

Perhaps you might look into the origin of that spelling, or what Hitler's policies regarding certain races were modeled after.

"When population is high and income low, there's another war," was the way of it. My child is over thirty and has never known a time America wasn't at war. Also about to clean up the post you responded to. AI autocorrect is rubbish.

Welcome to amerikka. What I mean is, the allied nations had a choice, and made it after WW2. Europe went one way, the USA another. We have expired our "freedoms" to you. We have shown our true have, at home and abroad. Ball is in your court. I'd say now is your defining moment. Choose wisely, you are approaching the event horizon.

In some ways, loss leading can be done in more or less ethical ways. For instance, a small mom n pop hardware loss leading on lumbar or hammers and taking a reasonable profit on ten penny nails. Or something, maybe a better example is the Costco 1.50 all beef foot-long dog and soda but their memberships are reasonable profit for those who would go often enough and buy enough to make it worth it. It's late and I'm tired, I hope you get the general gist. But yes, doordash is just double-dipping on the sleazy. And maybe loss leading isn't ever acceptable, but I'm simply unaware/haven't thought of reasons that make it so. I'm willing to hear any argument against any of it, though.
- Comment on Man makes money buying his own pizza on DoorDash app 5 months ago:
That's your takeaway? It's like Walmart moving into a town and undercutting indie business prices until the indie businesses close, then raising prices.
What doordash is doing is scraping restaurants' websites for prices, taking a temporary loss, then going to the restaurants saying, "We got all these orders, it's a win for both of us!" to sell the contact, then raising prices and tacking on extra fees, making money off the restaurants and the customers

The way I've heard the saying is, "They talked trash about Jesus, why wouldn't they talk trash about you?" Is this some new take on that?
