Record profits drive inflation
  • Yup.

    The point is, you don't have to use misleading data to tell compelling stories. Use the real data. The net profit of ~$5 billion is still enough for a healthy raise for their wage workers.

  • Record profits drive inflation
  • The picture is using a mix of revenue and gross profits, as far as I see no net profits. Gross profit is revenue after cost of goods, but without accounting for the cost of running the business. In starbucks' case it likely means "this is how much we brought in revenue, minus the cost of the coffee, syrups, etc.". They still have to pay employees, leases, etc. before you actually get to surplus or net profit.

    According to this, their net profit for 2023 was ~$4 billion. Giving the same argument with that number is a little less profound.

  • [Community Challenge #13] ''Old Gods, New Jobs''
  • Hermes reawakens to guide souls into the virtual afterlife.

    This one was tricky, and I'm not happy with the final result. I could not get dall e to give wings to Hermes' wand, shoes, and head. It insisted on giving everyone wings too.

  • Does anyone actually enjoy working out?
  • Yes! I've had to fight like hell to enjoy working out. It's taken years. But now I deeply enjoy it. It kind of feels like competetive sports - it's just really cool to see how far you can push your body, and to see it grow and get stronger over time.

    I had to start by just getting into really basic routines doing things I wouldn't hate. Little jogs, light weights, etc. Eventually you stop dreading going to work out. As you get stronger it gets easier and more enjoyable.
