Price gouging, worker and customer safety, and even less choice; Kroger Albertson's takeover bid and why it's awful for everyone except monopolists.

Need to register a domain for business and get a simple website up and running in the USA - tips?
YSK Registering as an "Independent" party member doesn't mean you have no party affiliation; some states have an Independent party who has a platform that you may or may not agree with!

Portland, OR police decide a ballot measure to establish an Accountability Board that passed overwhelmingly in 2020 doesn't fit their style; plan to submit their own measure to weaken & revoke it.
Does your org screen candidate social media profiles as part of your hiring process? What are your thoughts on companies that do?
Industrial change doesn't have to be "creative destruction" and can actually allow and provide worker retraining during inevitable systemic shifts.
Poland starts retraining coal workers for burgeoning wind farm industry.
Employees threatened with loss of healthcare if they strike. Their employer is a hospital and they're nurses.
The global seed vault in Norway is north of the arctic circle as a way of offering preservation insurance and predictable, controlled, frozen temps for food sources and biodiversity. It's constructed deep underground in permafrost.
I was reading a book about refrigeration's impact on the food supply last year and at the end the author decided to visit. The day of her visit it was closed due to emergency at the main gate; meltwater was flooding the entryway. Meltwater North of the arctic circle.
I think it's much more likely you awake when the power goes out because MicrosoftAlphafacebookXDisneyP&G needed more power for a new data center and you couldn't afford a politician to keep your town's power.
Totally lost their way as they commodified and expanded so quickly. Truly great, unique insights are worth keeping small and waiting for. All the ted x and mini Ted x and micro teds etc. just water the brand and impact down.
I went to one in 2015 and cried, multiple times. By 2020 I couldn't even stand to watch them online as everyone was trying to give the next great Ted talk instead of Ted picking the most impactful content. They also got into echo chamber/preaching to the choir territory as it became too rote.
They are people....
Up next, an article about how college kids are skipping learning and just using gpt for everything.
The hypocrisy is wild.
And 🤑. Interesting vomit and money are nearly identical emoticons.
This nanny state for multi-leggers must end. Fancy Feast queens.
If sexual orientation, gender identity aren't a protected class, then you can legally not hire people for their sexual orientation and gender identity. E.g. you could completely, legally, not hire straight people and it would not be illegal discrimination because those categories are not considered illegal to discriminate against. It's legal to discriminate on many things in hiring; you can discriminate against stupid people, people who show up late and unprepared, people who don't have a degree (relevant or not for the most part), etc.
The point of Op you're responding to, is that it would be completely legal to approach hiring like that in this legal dystopia.
Neck and neck with US? As an American I feel like the UK is both better (some social protections and healthcare), worse (social mobility, pay, legacy monarchy shite like hereditary house of lords BS), and the same (private companies and the wealthy lobbying away what is right, elected officials selling the silverware by privatizing shit, debt, shooting themselves in the foot with economic suicides credit, tariffs...).
Anyone else have thoughts? Which is the worse country to live in for the average person?
When Trump beat Hillary I thought, oh, ok It has to get a lot worse first for the average American before it gets to healing. Maybe for a generation. Maybe many. Probably unlikely it's ever like it was 30+ years ago again TBH. Squandered quickly in the span of history. A blip.
It's on AFI's top 100 movies, yeah you'd better watch it. It's great to see bogart not playing suave, suited characters ala cary Grant.
John Huston was super interesting and influential filmmaker in his own right.
Where are all the "do my own research" mofos now? Would be nice if they did that and learned about economics...
I'd say given the current tech environment that book would "educate" based more on a Brave New World caste and less on ideal knowledge to raise someone up but to keep them in a certain assigned position.
Quick, you need a mental health app and a prescription too. It's not normal to be overwhelmed by this, you're the only one.

Business management practices. For a half century now, the snake has been eating it's tail devouring itself, it's employees, it's communities, it's government's...all to make Lumberg's stock go up 1/4 of a point. None of it is sustainable. Most of it is impractical. We all know it will end in violence in several likely ways and some of the damage is irreversible to people and planet. Yet, despite those unequaled consequences of current approaches, it's breathtaking the confidence with which freshly endebted newly minted business grads seek to join the line of miserable adults to create more miserable adults. Impressive execution of horrible ideas for sure.
I think your premise is pretty easily shown untrue; modern propaganda tools simply outpace and put volume traditional education and so bad ideas, memes and misinformation--to say nothing of the lower ends of human nature--are quite popular.
look into promisory estoppel.
Found the anti-feminist! /s
Do you remember when he was caught at the swanky French Laundry during COVID restrictions, like October 2020 peak deaths in the US meeting with a political advisor while telling his state to adhere to lockdown?
Britain had their chief of national health or some equivalent of that be caught doing something similar and she was sacked.
Americans have been conditioned into not accepting or expecting accountability. It's the root of much of the rot.
Yeah cavs have yet to show mettle with a few good chances in their recent runs so they'll probably look to mix it up. Where does Giannis end up? The East seems like it's all falling apart.
If you didn't already know Ants caliber from his weird rookie season due to COVID, his first playoffs in his second season 21-22 against Memphis showed all you need to know about what to expect next. It seems the general public started to catch on only in 23-24 because he simply is too talented and icy to ignore.
He is the absolute complete package.Honestly lots of Kobe and Jordan vibes, and that is almost never fair nor appropriate to say.
Min has the ability to beat OKC or Den if they made a comeback and they should absolutely beat NY (And I think Indiana) but would be super fun to see two new teams to the finals and NY would lose its mind even getting there. Min might just get a ring and be decently setup for a repeat.
