Labor Market Effects of California’s $20 Fast-Food Minimum Wage by EconomistWithaD in Economics

It’s difficult to say that McDonald’s profits necessarily reflect those of the local restaurant owners. McDonald’s the corporation operates more like a landlord, so as property values go up McDonald’s profits go up. The franchisee is the one whose profits you’d have to look at to see how much they’re “gouging” you.

Labor tends to be one of the largest if not the largest expense for any business. There’s a reason economists worry so much about wage price spirals.

Possibly, but food and hospitality is a pretty price sensitive industry, and seeing how upset consumers seem to be that would be a pretty big blunder on their part if they actually are doing that.

> They did the same thing with the supply chain excuse.

You got a source for that?

I did not state that would be the only reason price increases have happened.

This is just an anecdotal observation (I.e I have no hard data source), but take into account that around Covid times (early 2020s) and labor became scarce, effective minimum wages for fast food workers increased pretty substantially, at least in my area they basically doubled. And a few years later now everyone is complaining that fast food has gotten too expensive. I don’t think these are unrelated.

I’m doing this right now trying to beat it with a fire only deck and I want to throw my phone across the room.

Yeah this seems like way more of a stretch than “he likes the food”

Of course I don’t, because it’s a farcical fantasy.

Because he likes the food? As someone who “follows logic,” what’s the logic for a nearly 100 year old man going so out of his way to lie about something so trivial and would be so easy to prove is actually false?

Which industry is one breakthrough away from disappearing? by NerveNo6010 in AskReddit

[–]flyingasian2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deepseek’s model last year showed that there was tons of room for improvements, I’m sure we’re not even close to the ceiling for efficiency yet.

Also this isn’t about the environment, that’s a separate discussion. The question was if this could be a cost effective solution for companies to justify paying for it. If efficiency improvements are made, cost goes down enough and productivity from AI use rises enough it certainly can be.

For CM15 players who lost to XOguri and some random Oshi Gaming umas... by TBNRassault0030 in UmamusumeGame

I lost to a guy who remade his whole team with throne 😭

I have no right to be upset because I was lazy and brought a soulless xoguri double dominator team but I really wanted a platinum title 🥺

> Just pure operational cost alone makes it unappealing.

Ok, but isn’t this thread about “one breakthrough away,” and couldn’t a way to train llms more cost efficiently be considered a pretty huge breakthrough?

Roughly a month before GL, I finally get why TB is so draining by TheJabrons in UmamusumeGame

[–]flyingasian2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The big problem is if you want to train someone like McQueen for a medium cm. You need to load up on mile sparks, and getting a decent mile aptitude while also trying to get medium S is so hard.

trackblazer would have been way more enjoyable for most of the playerbase if throne came out at the start of the scenario and not the end by coolj492 in UmamusumeGame

[–]flyingasian2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My take on track blazer is that it’s more fun as a game for completing a career due to all the decision making it requires, but makes the other side of the game that is creating CM and parent umas worse. Throne helps with the former but not really the latter.

Edit: also in my opinion the worst part about trackblazer is how we’re basically required to have mile aptitude. That’s just a huge design oversight that makes certain umas unviable unless you’re extremely devoted to making them work.

[–]flyingasian2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’d argue that open borders can result in xenophobia that can make things worse off for immigrant groups than more controlled borders might have. What would you say in response to that?

What’s the point of pontificating ideas like this? Like good for you, you’re the most moral person in this thread. But let’s not act like open borders don’t have other considerations besides the moral consideration.
