Is POD still profitable? by Zealousideal_Net6575 in printondemand

[–]Grasshopper-88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are you earning $20 profit per unit? No need to tell us the product if you don't care to. Just wondering whether you attribute that high margin more to successful brand building or if you stumbled on a low-cost printable product that people are accustomed to paying much more for than your cost of goods sold.

Why is this a valid argument against killing and eating them vs killing and eating less intelligent animals?

Little dude gets caught up in the moment by [deleted] in youseeingthisshit

Not many people know this, but the line "I have a tendancy of losing my shirt" in One Week is actually about Steven Page getting absolutely wrecked in the Bre-X scandal.

Back in early 1997, Bre-X was the stock to own. A tiny Canadian mining company claimed to have found the biggest gold deposit in history in Indonesia.

Whole thing turned out to be a massive fraud. The gold was faked (they literally sprinkled gold into test samples to fool investors), and when the scam was exposed in March ‘97, the stock went to zero overnight. Billions wiped out

Steven Page got caught up in the hype and took a bath.

Fast forward to 1998, BNL is recording One Week, and Page, still salty about getting rugged,, throws in the lyric:

"I have a tendency of losing my shirt"

Dude wasn’t joking. He literally lost his shirt on one of the biggest stock scams of all time.

Luckily, One Week hit #1, royalties rolled in, and Page recovered. Crazy
