I would suggest you look up exactly what they make. Plenty of grocery stores are publicly traded companies. Go ask a bodega owner.

If they were efficient for their owners, there profit would be a shit ton more than 3% of revenue.
Food dumping is its own issue. I bet the government grocery stores will have to follow the exact same laws.
The Piggly Wigley or the Bodega are not raking it in.


The problem is we are only talking about grocery stores where the revenue is only about 3%. Ton of problems with Big Ag which as you said is heavily subsidized. I don’t mind the redistribution. I think it is great optics. But I just think it is ineffective, because grocery stores (only talking stores) are in fact very efficient already.


Not a Republican, but there is a lot of nuance.
He can sell groceries at a loss because the money comes from other places…all of which is eventually paid for in taxes (in this case there is probably a small resitribution from rich to poor which I am happy with).
I don’t mind Democrats getting caught helping their constituents. But let’s not pretend he found some cheap grocery loophole; grocery store are already incredibly efficient, they only make ~3% profit. I am just speculating that the logistics needed to spin up govt groceries is much larger than the existing ~3% markup from the private sector.


That’s basically why I love the story. Unfortunately Nolan’s movie apparently has very little nuance in that respect.
Completely anecdotal, but I think major subs here have some very active mods with some pretty crazy opinions and like to power trip. Those mods would usually get flushed out over time on reddit.
I think that is a point worth considering too. I would argue we have incrementally been in decline regarding workers for 4 decades, and just not doing that would have also avoided Trump. Anyway we probably mostly agree.
In defense of small changes, the 2nd term Trump administration is a great example for why it should be difficult to make big changes. Even with the decent guardrail, he is able to completely destroy congressional mandated agencies, implement random tariffs (tariffs are back BTW), use DoJ as personal revenge agency. There should be a small appreciation of what we have today when compared to the last three thousand years of history. Things really can get a lot worse and very quickly.
Do I want Medicaid for all/single payer, yes.
Would I settle for Medicaid for those who want it, definitely.


I am definitely going to try this out. Will report back if successful. Do can’t prefer synthetic or natural 🤣?


Hope both SpaceX keeps dropping and NASDAQ faces a class action for this obviously corruption.
That’s just an exhausting way to live. Toga makes more sense now.


Abridging the liberties of a majority of people (maybe in a very small way) in order to fix a perceived wrong of a small minority.
Not a value judgement; these can be good and bad.
Which side does the penis and balls go in?


I’ve just got banned and called a Zionist from worldnews for stating obvious facts in no way defensive of Israel. I don’t particularly agree with Israel, but if you don’t ignore obvious facts their are definitely recommend communities you are not welcome in.
Edit: the Mod there insists Hamas has never built tunnels under civilian occupied areas. You be the judge.


The thermal problems are the craziest part IMO. Why do you think they use so much water on earth. In low Earth orbit your entire data center would be mostly radiators, which are heavy and complex with enormous fluid flow rates.

That was the weirdest part, the HuggingFace response made no sense. It was basically “no harm, no foul.” And so convenient it only hacked another AI company.
