You really think that every other administration has had this level of incompetence? The current bumbling and corruption is absolutely unparalleled.

Sure, but they are accounting for size shrinkage which the original poster was saying they didn't. I don't really know how you can account for quality either. User surveys? Ingredient sourcing? But then again I think this kind of

In the article it says: To account for possible changes in package sizes, we focused on the price per unit, whether it was an ounce of salsa or a square foot of aluminum foil.

I might have missed it, but I don't see this quote in the article. Either way, it feels disingenuous when a place like business insider posts these criticisms of FIRE like it is the ultimate gotcha. Finding a purpose outside of work se

The cumulative ROI for basic research is positive, but I don't think that is true for many individual research efforts, which is what a company is more likely to support. An individual company seems much less likely to benefit enough f

Mire things down in bureaucracy. Try and make everything take substantially longer than it should. Throw up hurdles in the face of progress. "Forget" to do important steps in the process so that you have to re-do work. Implement t

NYC has a collective that provides internet for free/donation based if you pay ~$160-290 for the equipment to get you connected. I forget what they provide in terms of speed, but its not insignificant. https://map.nycmesh.ne
