Yeah, do it!
I had a similar touch when I was younger. I’ve worked for Circuit City, Toys ‘R’ Us, and Blockbuster Video. Sadly, Best Buy somehow survived.

The owner of the site (Ernest, IIRC) has some health issues that have kept him from being as active as he had wanted. He also wrote the frontend code as an alternative to the Lemmy software. Mbin continues onward as a fork of Kbin.
I wish him the best. I hope he gets better. I know too well what chronic illness can do to a person.
Thank you for that article! He’s a truly good writer, and I read a couple more of his entries before I bookmarked his site.
You can be reasonably sure more unpopular changes to the site are incoming if they’re preemptively preventing blowback at scale.
Trump anyway:
I suppose they could have had evidence that the positive reviews were paid for and manufactured. Not that I trust Google to do anything that isn’t to their direct benefit.
Uh, excuse me, but Gabe buys submarines thankyouverymuch
Because Sega does what Nintendon’t
Fencing stolen goods between our store and a GameStop that was run by a former district manager of Blockbuster, plus her husband was a cop.
The first time was fun because I had a good manager and Netflix was still seen by them as the upstart and not a real competitor.
A couple of years later and things at a different location under a coke head manager made for a very different experience.
I try not to. I worked there twice.
I don’t pretend to understand Brannigan’s Law. I merely enforce it.

There’s no difference here though
Several times I’ve had to wait for months on healthcare in the US system. This is such a weak argument against a socialized system.
That’s doing that locally on your device, not on the carrier network. It’s definitely a good solution for this problem though.
That data is made of averages which aren’t worth a lot when you discuss people’s feelings about the economy, and also not everyone is getting a raise equally. Many don’t get one at all and those people are definitely still dealing with prices being higher.
Additionally, the cumulative rate of inflation over the last four years is over 20%, so unless my annual salary rises to be at least that much higer than it was four years ago then my real buying power has still decreased. It doesn’t matter that the average raise is outpacing inflation if I never receive enough raises to at least keep up.
States with laws that are hostile to workers - as mine is - make it hard to find employment where your employer will increase your pay to at least track inflation. This kind of thing gets lost in the discussion of averages.
Just because a person might have a wealthy neighbor while they live in poverty doesn’t really mean that, on average, everyone is doing fine. It still means some are still hurting.
From the article:
Though the central bank now believes inflation is largely defeated, many Americans remain upset with still-high prices for groceries, gas, rent and other necessities.
The comment on this article that you were originally responding to was most certainly one of frustration with this situation, not one aimed at the Fed’s decisions about interest rates. I feel that frustration too.
It kinda doesn’t matter if the Fed made every single right move if this was still the outcome for a large swath of America. People are going to be voicing frustration every time an article about the economy is posted.
I have an B.S. in Economics, by the way.
Okay, but only if he lives on a vegan diet.
