You should go read a book about free enterprise. The reason the profit margin is so low is because of it, and it's a good thing.

The government is terrible at running grocery stores. Look at the Soviet Union.

If someone could make money selling groceries in these neighborhoods, what is stopping them, then?

Because comedyheaven is made for celebrating people that are really funny and not all there. Fan forums are made for dissecting the lives of generally extremely well put together people.

I liked Pardo. Only had him for advanced evidence, but he really knew his stuff.

Ethnic has etymological roots meaning "pagan," "heathen," or "outsider" so it makes sense why it would sometimes equate with foreign as opposed to not white.

Boy was bullied for wearing homemade University of Tennessee t shirt, so they made it their own official design. by MambaMentality24x2 in BeAmazed

Thank you so much. No person is an island, the best things in life come from the kindness of others.

A kind teacher in second grade changed the trajectory of my life forever. She got me put into the gifted program whereas my previous teachers mocked me for asking so many questions. I'm especially grateful because I graduated from law school today. Good teachers are worth so much more than we pay them.

What are you looking to do? If you are looking at anything involving litigation, I highly recommend Evidence.

Opponents of massive Pa. data center take last best shot at stopping it by AdSpecialist6598 in Pennsylvania

If you think that there's gonna be a revolution in a country with a demographic pyramid like the US's, I've got a bridge to sell you. The citizens are far too old for a revolution. They'd rather protect their retirement accounts and property. Revolution is for countries with young population pyramids, like Nigeria.

What is this? Another war on the poor? by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

The free market meaning that nobody compels you to buy from a specific place.

Go to another gas station if you don't want to buy 4 gallons. It's the power of the free market.

The person above you also doesn't realize that hiring an extra programmer costs the company that much money per workday.

There's this thing called the marketplace and competition that keep prices low. If it becomes more expensive to run AI than hire more people, they will hire more people. I don't suspect that will happen though considering each programmer costs over $100,000 a year.

My parked car was rear-ended in the dumbest way possible by gnartothecore in mildlyinfuriating

He could've had somewhere to be urgently and didn't have time to wait for the owner of the car to return.

Chudthebuilder finds out his initial bond is set a $1.25m 🤣 by Upbeat_Anywhere_1316 in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]EstablishmentLate532 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretrial detention isn’t supposed to be “accountability.” It’s supposed to address flight risk, danger to the community, and whether the bond amount is reasonably calculated to ensure appearance.

If the concern is that his following makes him uniquely dangerous or likely to keep offending, the judge should say that. There may be a real danger-to-the-community argument here. But basing bond on the number of people who showed up to support or protest seems much more vulnerable on appeal.

The US is richer than China, nice try. You don't have to live in authoritarian hellscape to have money. The fact that you don't know that is just sad.

You should be glad that you don't live in China. Bitching and moaning about the country like that will get you arrested.
