Corporate price gouging

There is always money in the banana stand

Dollar cost averaging, as in contribute regularly, you’ll buy when things cost less you’ll buy when things cost more it won’t matter over time.

Just keep contributing and the numbers will go up over time.

Dollar cost averaging baby!

As always, that Pitch Meeting hits every major point perfectly. I fell asleep trying to get through this movie twice.

Feels a lot like the Japanese Compact car invasion after the Oil Embargo of the 70’s. They came in and wiped the floor with the lazy, large, more expensive gas guzzlers that the US automakers were cranking out. Changed the whole game…

Yeah, looks like a lazy rewrite, I did find the link to the actual visual data - https://creditnews.com/data/real-time-student-debt-tracker/

Reasonable investments in the future vs. winning points now

It’s pretty much the bane of any capitalist society

Season 1 was amazing, I felt let down by S02 and haven’t seen S03, although I hear it’s a bit of a return to the glory that was Season 1

Came to upvote this, some of the funniest writing and acting on a show that just gets better with time

Wait for the next sequel, “let’s remake both movies, but hotter”

So, comic book like then? I thought it was fun myself, that’s all I want from these guys…

Sorry, I probably missed where the Ukrainian government/military of Ukraine claimed responsibility, I’ll have to go look for the official statement

Any facts or verification that this was actually done by Ukraine? Seems like it’d be pretty on point for Russian propaganda to throw a few drones at themselves to whip up fervor. Not to mention the fact that it could’ve been done by partisans in Russia itself. I’d label either of those more likely than Ukrainian attacks on civilian infrastructure.

I do run a 3D printing business, I’m on Etsy, eBay, and my own platform. Most of my sales unfortunately come through Etsy, they also take the largest chunk out of my profits…

That’s not how net profit works. Net profit takes into account the cost of goods, if cost of goods, doubles, and gross profit doubles, net profit hasn’t changed at all. These companies are taking advantage of the fact that cost of goods (including shipping) have gone up to massively crank up prices, hence record net profits.

Corporate profit margins hit a 70 year peak in 2022 despite plenty of supply turbulence in the highest inflation since the 1980s.
