Well this comment thread seals the deal for HN for me. Enjoy the hatred and bigotry of your new progressive religion.

This could probably have one of the single greatest global impacts on mental health ever take by anyone/anything/any-organization ever. If users respond in the negative. Even a 5% reduction in social media exposure could have the

Sorry for the late reply. My 100% increase converts to 15-30% at the price point. In the same way you are seeing that 30-40 at the grocery. Restaurants generally run %20-40 food cost.

I am not at US$20(yours converted) probably closer to US$14-15 on average, but midgrade COL is 800-100 2bed/1200-1500 3bed/1500-2100 4bed in my area renting, and probably 20%-25% less buying. Staff is 98% under 23. Key detail see

The timelines. These increases have been in place for months, and eventually restaurants have to increase prices. Especially around proteins and disposables (ie all take out stuff) right now. EX: Chicken wings and pork butts are probably

I am not against supporting those in need, but blanket unmetered injection has consequences. The IRS is capable of disbursing based on income, primarily because it is reported digitally and manually monthly via payroll taxes, and those wit

The detail that gets overlooked is that I have had only 1 application from someone over the age of 18 in the last 90 days. While highschoolers are awesome they only work 10-20 hrs a week. To caveat, I am in a highly desirable submarket for

It is not absurd. There was little to no conversation around the impact of trillions of dollars of stimulus injection last year or the further $4 trillion injection of the current infrastructure bill. Injecting nearly the annual US GDP in

Short answer is no. That tool is not as effective as ecos think. There are lots of global examples of its ineffectiveness. Borrowing has little real world impact on market forces, because most market activities are not debt driven, prim

I own restaurants. I have seen 100%+ price increases across 80% of my supply chain in the last 6 months. But, you are right I am sure it is just the media not my bills.

Just a heads up you are double double shadow banned, even though the troll was the one in violation. Only down points count for you now. Keep up the fight. No sarcasm.

There is no wage discussion if workers never apply.

Not to mention the 20-30% increase in COGS that the last year has driven, especially disposables and proteins.

They literally call high rents and prices "affordable housing shortages".

I am not shocked that employees of businesses with 70-80% profit margins based on knowledge barroning are ignorant to the economics of businesses with sub 5% profit margins.

So you are saying that the employer is under charging(by proxy of labor cost) and the customer is over paying at the same time?

Social Media. Pretty much it. Toxic in a bottle, for profit. Well that and inflation.

Just to add a alternative voice. Open rates are an important metric for ESPs to track bad actors on their platforms. If this implementation is a 100% preload those metrics then have no value. IP anonymized pixel loads are a good compromise

Or more micro, the reversion of your homes building permit and HVAC as the unit you installed is now out of code, and some force of the government would be used to enforce your compliance, such as taxes or fines.

I apologize for using your comment in an attempt to narrate a more pejorative point about individuals and brands using service and experience and price to passively class separate. Not that I have a problem targeting a market, just with no

I would also hope that customer service is awesome all the time, but saying the greeter was not nice enough is a pretty specific dog whistle. I shop at the wally all the time, and I am just calling an elitist a spade free of any strawman yo

Walmart has Sams Club. Have you used the Walmart grocery pickup? It is seriously great, with its own app flow both on mobile and browser. They have been rolling this for years, even in rural markets. It is most of what you have described

So to be clear you are not an elitist, but you don't shop at the lower cost store, because the greeter was having a bad day and was not nice enough to you and should have known what class you are and should have shown more reverence?.
