That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Yes, it’s not the capitalists making trillions from the free doubling of labor supply, it’s the politicians taking their 10%…

Guess who owns the politicians!

How can you be so ignorant.


They can be in collusion and/or one and the same.

And you don’t need snidely whiplash to create an evil master plan, it can just be how everything “naturally” works out.


This is revolutionary. No other way to put it.


It certainly looks like something that will find novel applications.


The “Department of War” DOES NOT EXIST.


The “Department of War” does not exist and no one should use their preferred pronouns.


Can’t even eat Reese’s anymore they’re so off.


Don’t need educated citizens for a dictatorship of the elites where you only need to press buttons with a picture of a burger on them because your economy was outsourced to poorer countries


Paywall


Having FCs an hour away from your customers, packing groceries into a tiny truck with one or two employees per truck, the trucks alone would never pay for themselves let alone the FCs. This was obvious from the get go and it’s why Walmart has been the only one successfully doing grocery pickup and delivery for 6 years. Every store is an FC and they’re all within 20 minutes of their customers.


There are examples of the warehouse-based model working, but they clearly require both density _and_ mindshare. Its not clear Kroger had either based on the other comments in here. FreshDirect in NYC has been operating since the early 2000s with a fleet of tiny trucks with a couple of employees in them and a giant FC with essentially zero retail footprint.

(As an aside, they also have some of the best meat and produce you can get in the city without going to a farmers market. So many retail grocery stores here lack loading docks, the food handling getting from the truck to the sidewalk to the basement of the store to the shelves is really, really rough especially during the summer months. Skipping that and going warehouse-to-home has advantages)


Notice Apple and Google did not comply. Steam DID comply. Shame on Valve contributing to the murder of gay men and women in Russia.


Apple and Google did comply. Apple for example is removing VPN apps from App Store at the request or the Russian government.


This is obviously false. Companies do not become criminal enterprises to provide services.

Either they obey the laws or they leave the country. The idea of Google or Apple operating as a black market tech company in Russia is preposterous.


Not being able to play a game is contributing to murder how exactly?


Straight people will never understand the crushing suffocating binding evil of straight supremacy. They call a gay man a coward when they and their kind are murderers of ours.
